Computer programmer family members were howling about this.
Painfully funny to watch but I do love the Honest Trailers® snark.
Déjà vu (Reboing).
“I hope you don’t screw like you type.”
With two fingers and lots of typographical errors?
I will repeat, the sound track is still a solid example of electronica.
“Hack the planet!”
(twenty years later we’re sitting behind our keyboards typing the next fake news article that will bring down a democratically elected government in South America as we feed our cynical voters pandemic misinformation and check the value of our horse dewormer stocks)
The movie Hackers is art
Jinx @cepheus42…
I’d argue that Rez would’ve been a better addition than Cowgirl but I did have to do a doubletake to see if Ganja Kru’s Sharpshooter was included in the OST since it was in the Honest Trailer.
“Ever read Neuromancer?”
… because that’s literally the only thing any of our scriptwriters have read about this subject. And this is 1994, and there is nothing else that anyone has written on the subject anywhere at this time — as far as the scriptwriters know.
Some movies are so bad that they’re funny. Other movies are so bad that I can only watch them with the help of MST3K, Bad Lipreading, or Honest Trailers.
My personal favorite Underworld is Rez that mixes into Cowgirl on the Everything Everything live album. (Still frustrated that their 1992-2002 double disk album has those songs on two different CDs)
so a 90’s computer hacker was at walmart today
