HAHA, oh hell no! Nothing like that. But I did invent Windows 7!Originally Posted by vt_maverick
So you also had the idea to use a MacBook to dial-up connect to the alien computer system and distribute a virus?
Sorry for the TJ, but I was a computer science major in college when that movie came out, and you could literally hear the audience groaning at that sequence. Perhaps the single most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in a movie (followed closely by the Transporter 2 sequence where he uses a crane hook to remove the bomb from the bottom of his car).I had to rewrite because I had an invading alien race going from solar system to solar system to mine planets (ala Enemy Mind, ID4) and then a humanoid population that fought back (ala every war movie). That's when I started creating the planet the a-holes came from to tell a broader story - cause and effect. I have always tried to maintain the concept as primitivity versus technology for the contrast and depth and message. I'm still very amateur tho and probably have created something stupid within a cool concept, but I try to be conscious of what I am creating.
