You should see it, it's totally hilarious (in a bad, 90s, OMG HACKERZ way.)

I had a compulsion that compelled me to watch this movie whenever I came across it on cable, but only up to the part where I got to see Angelina Jolie's boobs. Man they were nice before she got the implants.

Hackers is fucking awesome. It's so full of shit that it becomes this weird, untouchable, holy thing of pure bullshit.

It's beautiful.

A "virus" in the 90s was a kind of animated riddle

It gives a new meaning to the "I'm going to use Visual Basic to design a GUI interface" computerspeek of Law & Order.

Go out and rent it for a weekend. You won't be disappointed.

Also, it's funny how easily it is for me to tell EXACTLY what year a movie came out, just by listening to part of the soundtrack. Was that off Prodigy's The Jilted Generation? It was, wasn't it, Voodoo People or whatever. Man, I feel old and arthritic now.

And you know how nowadays most of the kiddies when they first get on the internet use a handle that's some anime bullshit or something? After this movie came out, for YEARS every damn newbie on any BBS or the usenet (the web wasn't quite as popular just yet) chose the handle ZeroCool or Z3R0C007 or whatever...It's was like the Sephiroth of its time.

Don't forget The Bunk as the bumbling Federal agent!

There is a 2nd film, but just pretend I didn't mention it. Bleh.
