"It’s too risky. It doesn’t test well in focus groups. It’s not made for everyone."
Oh how I want to see movies that are not made for everyone.

Better yet, has there been any good hacker movies, ever?
The only movie I liked wasn't remotely "hacking" was the first Matrix. It was mostly some pop terminology sprinkled through it. Much like all Hollywood interpretations of what hackers actually do.
It's hilariously actually.... Spinning 3D cubes to hack into some database, while the actor looks like he's playing an awesome game of minesweeper on flaming tits that emit crummy (inappropriate) pop music.
*enhances image resolution above what it's original source res is... Badazz >.>
But your overall point is well-taken.
Well, it's not totally impossible. You can sort of interpolate a higher resolution from an image, with stuff like "fractal resizing", etc:

Although, this is also accurate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaMdXjTn9rc
My personal favorite is "Sneakers": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/
Less than 30 films a year released by the studios (out of the 120 they release) fit that description – i.e. 80% of the films the major Hollywood studios release each year are explicitly not made for everyone.
What they are all made for is a mass audience, where "mass" is essentially: enough to make their money back.
It doesn't even have to be some art-house thing (although those can be very good too). Even a movie like "Fight Club" is NOT made for everyone.
Do you only want to watch generic shit targeted to the average moviegoer?
