Dang. One thing I failed to mention was about "Elite". I feel like this may be the one thing that is accurate about this movie. Elite, which evolved into 31337, then shortened to 1337. 1337 = leet, as in leet-speak. The slang that hackers (or h4x0rz) speak.

Okay, a few things that didn't make sense in this movie: 1. The SWAT team nabs Joey for hacking into the Gibson and he only seems to be required to go to AA meetings as a punishment. Meanwhile, all Phreak does is be handed a copy of the floppy disk and he actually gets sent to jail. Joey physically committed the crime and he is able to walk free to only end up hacking Gibson yet again at the end of the movie. 2. The bet between Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie was that if he wins, she wears a dress on their date. If SHE wins, HE wears a dress. Next day at school (after her spandex wet dream), she opens her locker to show Dade a pair of latex lingerie which she then says, "I wasn't sure what your size was" or something. I feel like she's referring to their bet here... which is about wearing a dress, not lingerie. Does Angelina Jolie's character not know what a dress is? Does this explain why her fashion sense is all over the place? 3. Angelina Jolie's "subway defense system" is a flare gun. Convenient to shoot security guards at mining companies, but HIGHLY inconvenient for the subway. Flare guns only have one shot. If someone attacks her on the train, given that she doesn't miss her ONE SHOT, the train is now full of smoke and fire, and you can't just leave a moving train. 4. What's the reason for the boyfriend character in this movie? Angelina Jolie's character could have easily just not had a boyfriend and the plot would not have been affected, period. The boyfriend isn't an obstacle at all for Dade to woo her. He was just there to make out with her, almost fuck her, then he was gone forever out of that penthouse window! 5. As a kid, Zero Cool (or Dade) is charged with crashing 1,507 computers or whatever and his family is fined $45,000 because of it. 11 years later, once Dade is finally able to use computers again, he's locked in his room hacking and his mom knocks on the door asking him to come eat dinner. Which he then says "Hold on, I'm hacking into a major television station". Her response to this is pretty much just an "Ok then". Bitch, do you not care that your son is reenacting what is probably the most traumatic part in your family's history? And that he's no longer a minor and will probably be charged with something much worse if he gets caught? The next morning all she says about it is "if you get caught, you won't get into college"!! As if that's the most important part! I love this movie. 5 stars.

The radioactive spill that gave Daredevil his super powers also gave powers to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The accidents in both origin stories are pretty much identical. The Daredevil side of the story is of a kid who pushed an old blind man out of the way of a truck carrying barrels of radioactive waste. The goo splashed in his eyes. The TMNT side of the story is of a truck carrying radioactive waste hitting a blind man and a teenager, dropping its cargo on the kid's face, knocking a child's bowl of pet turtles into a sewer where that same radioactive waste was drained into. So according to how the movie's story, we have Ben Affleck's dad to thank for starting not 1, but 6 superheroes (if you count Master Splinter).

A movie starring Tila Tequila and Hulk Hogan's son ironically named Masterminds.
