My God, how dumb are people? Al Gore did not invent the internet!!!

He did jump start companies investing in infrastructure and technologies of the internet as Vice President. That is a far cry from "inventing" it. The net has no single author per se, rather several highly intelligent researchers who discovered different facets / put different facets together.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web which most people confuse with the internet. They are closely related, but are very different.

Just to clarify, the movie that Badham is referring to is Colossus: The Forbin Project. I actually never heard of that movie until I read the interview and just put it on the top of my netflix queue.
