And then our pride and joy likely being damaged, and then being told
'hurr the insurance will cover it'.
This is for the 'Underground' aka 'Julian Assange Story' that Channel 10
have been promoting.
As someone who knew Assange in the early 1990s, I can tell you that
'Underground' story about himself is total fucking bullshit. Never was
he politically motivated like it tries to spin it in the book--- it was
all about financial and vandalism cybercrime. We kicked him and
suburbia.{apana.org.au,net} out of APANA for his easily traced
activities through our network. (The "I'm the worlds most dangerous
cyberpunk!!11 who can destory the biggest world governments from a
keyboard!11" schizophrenia is in character for him, though..)
The unmedicated prick also tried to threaten $3000 out of me a few years
ago too.. There's about a group of 20 of us in the early Australian
Internet scene that would put down in a heartbeat a thousand bucks to be
in a bus that runs the cunt over.

I wonder what they plan to do with the machines they buy after
the movie is made?
An after-movie computer sale would be great, especially if
things go cheap.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Not so sure they would go that cheap if they were featured in the movie, and
the movie is successful.
Speculative buyers would probably drive the price up.

Yeah, having the Federal Police take your beat mate's computer because
something proff left on there is sour grapes.
APANA, Australia's first great (Internet-accessible) freenet came -> <-
that close to being shut down because of Assange trying to live out a
brain-damaged fantasy..

I'm no movie buff, but a film set in Melbourne, shown only on
Channel 10, about a man the world will probably forget before
long...
To be honest, I think "speculative" might be better replaced
with "crazy". Then again, who knows?

Well, think of it this way... is a computer featured in a movie equal to the
same computer not featured in a movie?
I think there might be people out there that give higher status (and value)
to the former.

An Australian telemovie... it's more than likely to be utter rubbish and
seen by no more than a few dozen people (after all that's Channel 10's total
audience these days). In case you haven't been paying attention the last 40
years, we Australians can't make television, certainly can't make movies,
and no-one will give a toss about a computer used in it.

Considering our miniscule movie industry, we make pretty decent films
actually.
Agreed our television is shit, as is channel 10 and pretty much anything on
that channel but my point is still valid.
Some of the crappest films in history have become cult classics.

Weren't the Mad Max movies made in Australia? Even though the USA didn't
"got" the first movie, it was a huge success elsewhere, especially in
Europe. And spawned two more films, which then also were quite successful
in the USA.
> and no-one will give a toss about a computer used in it.
But it could be the sole high light in the whole movie. :-)

Moulin Rouge, Crocodile Dundee, Babe, Shine... all did well - off the top of
my head.

What about Home & Away? I was out in the pacific in '04 and ABC shows started
to look pretty good compared to all that wierd Asian stuff. Good TV is relative.
