Does Not Illustrate: Extreme Graphical Representation

All the current image shows is a funky laptop skin, it doesn't demonstrate how fiction tends to portray software itself with redundant flashy graphics. Some replacement options:

• Jurassic Park◊
• Transcendence◊
• Swordfish 1 2◊
• Skyfall

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Opened...the current definitely isn't getting the trope across.

Skyfall or either Swordfish pics can work.

Skyfall or Swordfish 2.

Kinda like the Jurassic Park one, since it's on an old monitor, which makes it stand out more. Skyfall isn't bad either.

Check out my fanfiction!

I lean toward Skyfall.

I'm going to be a hipster and say Jurassic Park.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Skyfall for me

Skyfall.

The second Skyfall pic is a good illustration, especially since "compiling" isn't something you expect to have graphical representation (although maybe it's the computer-savvy talking...).

There's only one Skyfall pic. Are you refering to the Swordfish suggestions?

Yes, sorry, I meant the second Swordfish pic.

Alternatively, perhaps the scene from Swordfish where Hugh Jackman uses about 7 different screens to make it look flashy?

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

I think it's too hard to see the actual screens in that one.

Shouldn't we focus more on the lush animations on-screen rather than the Ominous Multiple Screens? Here's a shot from Hackers, inside the evil corp's IT department.

^ Looks good.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Now that's what we've been waiting for.

Yep, looks great.

The caption could add some context. What is that?

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

The screen in 15 displays the inside of a database which is being hacked.

It's better than the other suggestions. All of them are unclear what they show, but here you can see it's a sort of digital landscape if you look a little closer.

Check out my fanfiction!

15 is good, 15 plus a good caption would be great.

"They've breached the firewall!"

I dunno.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

From the scene: "We got one person on-line but with the workload of 10 users. l think we got a hacker."

I could go with that.
