[ale] Computer centric Movies/TV Shows

[Simba]

Oh man you should see it! Cereal Killer is my fave ;)

Sandra Bullock is cool. The only thing I liked about that film if I
remember...

Mr. Robot may be an exception but it's lightyears ahead of what the
1990s were like. And it also a phenomenal production in general, those
two things seem to go hand in hand.

I don't expect folks who make their careers in filmography or sound or
casting actors and so forth to be computer experts, but I have a lot
more respect for productions which consult with experts for accuracy.
