Movie Exaggerations of Computer Code

So does code fly across the screen on a black background and green text? Uh…no…

I understand that Hollywood needs to dress things up to make them more entertaining, but in the case of programmers, code, and hackers they’ve done more than dress things up - they’ve morphed a little stuffed teddy bear into a cybernetic polar bear covered in christmas lights and phosphorescent hieroglyphics with a fog machine pumping rainbow smoke out of his ass. In other words, they’ve layered a ridiculous amount of extravagance on top of something that in reality is very grounded.

I guess no Angelina Jolie in a skin suit ala Hackers either :(
