- The movie is also flawed in its otherwise highly entertaining press
- kit. Unlike all other movies, which have old-fashioned paper press
- kits, this one only has one on a computer diskette. The graphics are
- very nice and colorful and fun and all that. But in a section about
- hacker history, that big AT&T long-distance collapse a couple years
- back was blamed on information stolen by the Legion of Doom from
- BellSouth's 911 system (rather, than, say, software problems at
- Bedminister, NJ)! Fortunately, movie critics don't tend to care about
- such stuff, so I doubt you'll see that "factoid" in print anywhere.
