The young and troubled Hacker girl in the recent movie version of the swedish book, uses Macs all through the movie. It’s a pretty dark and disturbing movie, so don’t watch with the kids or alone. But when you do, note the first thing she gets when she gets her money is a new MacBook Pro.

Also for people who care about continuity, it might be fun to note, that after some bad guys spill beer on the girls MacBook Pro, she brings it to a computer mechanic who says “I can save your hard drive”, but when she asks about the computer, he holds up a broken Mac, not a MacBook Pro, nor even a PowerBook, but a TiBook, that’s the Titanium PowerBook from 2001, obviously the directors weren’t silly or willing enough to dismantle a nice new Mac, and instead broke up a TiBook. That’s still a waste to my mind, hopefully they put it back together afterwards.

Note to future directors: It’s pretty straightforward and almost easier to open the newer MacBook pros for “shock” value in your next scene, the older Macs were harder to open(and put back together again)
