well, actually, i do get it in because the 'droids were AI (right?) and they were owned by a giant corporation who was trying to conceal them from the law.

now, the *internet* hacking part isn't there, (2 out o'3 ain't bad) but the *genomic* hacking is, so i tie them together and i am demonstrating the natural progression from blade runner to neuromancer.

it's worth the read, it's not just a celebratin of "hippi'ism"- it discusses how Kesey "volunteered" to take drugs for the US Army as a way to make a few extra bucks in college.. a real eye-opener for people who think the govt can do no wrong

i wonder who could do it? Ridley is real busy:

Born 30 November 1937 (1937-11-30) (age 71)
South Shields, England

Scott is set to direct an adaptation of Robin Hood called Robin Hood which will be starring Russell Crowe as Robin Hood and Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian. Paul Giamatti is in talks to star as Friar Tuck with Mark Strong also set to star as Sir Godfrey. William Hurt, Vanessa Redgrave, and Gordon Pinsent are rumored to star in unconfirmed roles.

In April 2008, Scott announced his new project The Kind One, a period drama set for release in 2010. The film will star recent Academy Award nominee Casey Affleck.[16] Also, he will be making his first science fiction movie since Blade Runner, an adaptation of the novel The Forever War, which he has been trying to pursue the rights for since the early 1980s[17]. In January 2009 it was announced Ridley, along with his brother Tony, would be producing the film adaptation of the 1980s TV cult classic The A-Team.[18][

people like him set standards that are hard to beat.

---

Also remember, him and his brother(Tony Scott) are behind the prequel to Alien. So he is exceptionally busy. But he's such a great director. Has a good vision of how the story should be made visually.

PS: do we really need a remake of the A-Team? The original was enough cheese to feed the Pied Pipers pets

It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

You must still be high on something if you thought that movie wasn't good... perhaps the pace was slow due to your pharmaceutical intake.. was slowing your senses and it seemed to be slow paced... besides what did you want something so high paced like Quantum of Solace from the very beginning that you can't follow the story?

---

WoW..you must be kidding me...that movie was garbage...and I never said I wanted it to be fast paced...just not slow
