Question: What exactly is the movie about?
MTVee1: The Net that is.

technology has enabled us to remove
human contact from our lives to some degree.
MTVixen: AdVanceDz
Question: Hi Sandra.....Did you learn a lot about the NET making this movie
..and did it scared the crap out of you?

step back.
Mtvmail: Doom99:
Question: What role do you take on in the "NET"?
Sandra: The only role they would give me. But do you mean as in
protagonist or villain?
But the role that I had was that of Angela Bennett a computer
analyst, who is a bit of an agoraphobe..
Mtvmail: Gamma4:
Question: Sandra have you learned anything knew about the internet from
working in your new movie "The Net" and if yes,what did you learn?
Sandra: Well basically that the more open you make yourself to something
that at first can be very fightening,
the less intimidating it becomes with the more knowledge you gain
from it!

Mtvmail: MachZero:
Question: Sandra, will you tell us how you came to develop your talents as an
actress, and how you started in movies?
Sandra: I don't think I've quite developed the talent that I would like,
but each time I explore a new project
I find myself getting a little stronger to try new things that
normally I wouldn't allow myself to do.
I started in movies by doing small student films in New York and
waitressing, two very important
talents to have as an actor.
MTVixen: KWatAB
Question: Do you prefer acting in suspense/action thrillers, or "feel good"
movies like While You Were Sleeping?
Mtvmail: Sandra Bullock is online from LA for an MTV News Special..
Sandra: To be honest, any film that has an element of comedy in it I will
be attracted to first, but anything
new and unusual, always peaks my interest.
MTVixen: Jasoom
Question: Hi Sandra..Do you go on-line at home and chat? @>---'----,-----
for Sandra.... Thanks for exposing yourself to this cyber abuse
Sandra: No abuse at all..it's actually very safe and fun today...the
responses are overwhelming!!
But yes, I chat much more than I should at home!
Mtvmail: FilterBan:
Question: What did you like best about working on 'The Net'?
Sandra: THE BEST PART ABOUT WORKING ON THE NET WAS OUR DIRECTOR IRWIN
WINKLER...
NEVER ONCE DID HE PREVENT ME FROM HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS I COULD...NO
MATTER HOW STRESSFULL THE DAY.
I KNOW I KNOW I SPELLED STRESSFUL WRONG...I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A SPELLING WHIZ.
Mtvmail: Cyrus29:
Question: Sandra, how long did it take for you to work on the film, and what
type of computers did you use?
Sandra: IT TOOK US ABOUT THREE MONTHS OF NIGHT SHOOTING, IN ALOT OF COLD AND RAINY WEATHER, AND WE USED APPLE!
MTVixen: Su Falcon
Question: Are you content as an actress, or do you want to "hypenate" your
career by writing or directing?
Sandra: GOOD QUESTION, I KNOW I WILL NEVER DIRECT...I WOULD BE LOUSY AT IT...AND AS FOR WRITING..POSSIBLY A
LITTLE HERE OR THERE, BUT IF I WAS TO "HYPHENATE" IT WOULD PROBABLY BE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FIELD TO BALANCE THINGS OUT...FOR PEACO OF MIND.
MTVixen: Joelboxes
Question: Sandra, I understand from a recent article about you in esquire you
are a member of AOL.
Is this true and did this influence the decision for you to take
part in the Net?
Sandra: ABSOLUTELY!! I GAVE ME THE INSIGHT INTO THE FASCINATION OF THE INTERNET BY BEING SOMEWHAT INVOLVED
WITH IT MYSELF, AND IT HAD A STRONG IMPACT ON MY DESIRE TO DO SOMETHING INVOLVING COMPUTERS.
Mtvmail: Dexter54:
Question: Why did you die your hair blonde ?
Sandra: GOOD QUESTION. NO SERIOUSLY, IT WAS FOR A FILM I DID WITH DENIS LEARY AND THE WHOLE JOKE IN THE FILM WAS HOW HORRIBLE HE THOUGHT MY HAIR LOOKED WITH THAT COLOR.LOVED THE QUESTION...BUT IT'S BACK TO A RELATIVELY CLOSE MATCH TO WHAT I WAS BORN WITH...THE THRILL IS OVER.
Mtvmail: DAStraka:
Mtvmail: What is your impression of David Letterman
Sandra: VERY FUNNY, AND MAKES ME RISE TO THE CHALLENGE. I THINK THE FACT THAT HE IS AN INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT MAN, IS THE MAIN REASON HE'S MANAGED TO KEEP PEOPLES ATTENTION
FOR SO LONG...MINE INCLUDED.
Mtvmail: IMCHROKEE:
Comment: I just wanted to say Sandra, you have a very pleasant way about you,
and it is refreshing to see in a society like ours.
I hope you get all you want out of your career.
Good luck in all your endeavors.
Sandra: WHAT A VERY NICE THING TO SAY. I HAVE TO ADMIT IT'S HARD SOMETIMES TO OVERLOOK THINGS WHEN THEY
ARE HURLED AT YOU, BUT I ALWAYS TRY TO ADHERE TO A MOTTO THAT MAKES A BIT OF SENSE TO ME AND THAT IS..
"THAT WHICH YOU RESIST...WILL PERSIST" SO STEP ASIDE AND LET IT PASS. BUT THANK YOU THANK YOU..I
HOPE I CAN KEEP MYSELF INTACT!
Bye everyone, and thanks so much for taking time to ask questions
that probably most of you didn't get
a chance to hear answered...sandy
Mtvmail: Thanks to everyone for coming....be sure to catch THE NET, but don't
get caught it it
Sorry, bad humor.
