I know somebody that works in the movie and television industry and while his work is limited to getting camera rigs set up (kind of like the ones you see when two people are in a car), he had inquired about how the Internet and computers are used (this was during filming of '24'). And you touched on it when you said, 'boring.' The producers feel that showing the Internet as it truly exists would be lame. Ever notice what else is missing in such movies? The use of a mouse. People are always using keyboards. He also told me producers have said it is easier to build tension in a scene with somebody clacking on away on a keyboard instead of clicking and pointing with a mouse. Of course the notion that some website can be 'untraceable' is absurd to begin with, so there's no point I think in trying to make the Internet seem more realistic. But as you said, it does have Diane Lane, who is still smoking hot, even at the age of 43. As lame as it may seem, there is a method to their madness.

Then again, they can't seem get computers right either. Complete clueless morons. As someone who makes my living on the internets, I hate they way Hollywood portrays it.
