May the best movie win

I saw 'I, Robot' the other day and was suitably impressed. It's techy alright, based on the Asimov short story that introduces the 3 laws of robotics. From memory: 1. a robot will not harm any human being and will do everything to come to the aid of a human being in need, 2. a robot will obey a human beings orders unless this conflicts with the first law, 3. a robot will act in self-preservation unless doing so conflicts with the first or second law. It features an evil empire, a company with a virtual monopoly on robots and the proclaimed aim to put a robot in every household. It turns out that it is not the president of the company, the richest man on earth, that it is at the root of the evil - it is the technology itself; the 3 laws are buggy. Or are they?

Whilst I am at it, here is another movie suggestion: Metropolis by Fritz Lang. We owe it our name and it features technology, or , more interestingly, the relationship between technology and society. Thinking about technology all day, it is not a bad idea to spend a few moments to reflect where it is taking us.

Does it have to be necessarily a new movie?

Otherwise I would suggest the 2-hour documentary by 2600 entitled "Freedom Downtime" (NOT the movie Takedown) on Kevin Mitnick, one of the most famous hackers to be jailed and convicted. Mitnick was arrested by the FBI on February 15, 1995 and charged with breaking into some of the United States' most "secure" computer systems.

It is from the perspective of a fellow hacker and offers a very different view of his case than found in "Takedown" or most other media today. The film is the winner of the Audience Award for Documentaries at the 2002 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.

Following his arrest, Mitnick was held without bail for over two years before sentencing: He has said that he set some kind of United States record by being held for four and a half years without a bail hearing, while also held in solitary confinement for eight months "in order to prevent a massive nuclear strike from being initiated by me via a prison payphone." The course of his trial and punishment became a cause célèbre amongst the hacker community. This movement was spearheaded by 2600's "Free Kevin" campaign.

He was released from prison in January 2002, but banned from using the Internet until the midnight of January 21, 2003.

Mitnick is now working in consulting and is CEO of the security company Defensive Thinking.

My wife isn't into Java, bu would like to see the movie - will she be able to attend the movie without registering?

For those who want a review of 'The Incredibles' submitted by someone who knows what he's talking about I found the following: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/07/0534233&tid=97
