Yeah, I've seen it before. It's an awesome film IMO. Tim Robbins plays an excellent parody of Bill Ga.... I mean random software company owner :D

I'd just like to point out one thing... they don't smile. They just get on with the job in hand

I'm not sure if I'm utterly disgusted...or throroughly amused... I believe it's time for me to start eating my gummi worms again, the effects are wearing off.

Oooh, I bought this film yesterday (£5.99 from Woolies if anyone in the UK is interested). Haven't got around to watching it yet tho.

Maybe tonight...

Yeah, but I really liked it

I dunno... it's a different kind of film IMO. Hackers just gives true hackers (i.e. those who code rather than crackers) a bad name.

Yeah, but Anti-Trust doesn't portray itself to be a comedy film. I think it does very well to explain the point of OS software.

Agree with you... but Anti-Trust was funny too... I mean copying code using a Video Cam?... If it wasnt Tim Robbins... it could've been lot more funny :D

See, I think Tim Robbins is excellent in this film. Admittedly it's no Shawshank, but he's still amazing as a parody of Ol' Billy G

As i watched the movie i was very very interested, as the likeless to Bill Gates - as i imagine - was amazing.

I bet he's just like that. I did enjoy the movie.

Thats wat I meant... He made the movie look serious... If Tim Robbins wasnt casted... it could've been worse... Pirates of Silicon Valley was better than that... And yeah Shawshank... one of my favorite movies :)

I live in silicon valley in the uk - about 8 minutes from the Microsoft Campus.

I shamefully - in my desperation - asked them for a summer job. And in my embarassement - they turned me down. Maybe it was to do with the "LINUX" hat i was wearing....

There's a silicon valley in the UK? I know that MS have a place in Reading, but I didn't really consider it a Silicon Valley
