If you see the movie, pay attention to the classroom scene just after Ben gets beaten up and you can clearly see jl's book. I thought it was pretty cool.


This is so cool- I'll have to see the movie!!


I can't imagine Jessica spending her time on product injection, so there must have been a fan on the set.


Product injection sometimes works both ways - Indie film-makers have to purposely hide mainstream logo'd stuff or they'll get in legal murky waters - as in if you have a Coke bottle prominently visible you are implying that Coke might have something to do with your little film..


For being a wide-release, mainstream movie, they nailed the geek stuff pretty well.


Except for the bit about taking two weeks to get a new EEPROM fabricated.


I actually thought the exact same thing while watching the movie.



Saw the movie Friday and I only have one thing to say: "Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner!!"


Lol, for the first half of the movie I couldn't figure out if he was saying "Winner, winner, chicken thinner" or "dinner". Thanks for resolving it for me.


I'm thinking Jessica did a multi-million dollar product placement deal. Well played!


This movie was awesome. Went to see it on sunday.


ha, awesome! boston based research, crew,filming,etc. so im sure there was a fan. Maybe a fellow hacker on the set?


Spoiler alert!


Was a pretty good movie. You could totally anticipate the ending though, either right at the beginning, or right after he gets beat up.
