let me guess: she was in an open marriage and he wasn't

not to my knowledge although he’s 100% the type to end up there and not complain about it. thankfully i was out of the apartment when she insisted on sucking him off in front of a group of people. they were both garbage people.

i watched it about a month ago and it's such a delight. I agree with the critics that it's one of the best concert films of all time.

yea me and the girlfriend started watching x files again last week. the 1080p versions look really good, honestly. it’s weird to see true 90s fashion in 1080p.

this guy basically has a “jazz” solo cup tie that i’d want but 90s ties were way too wide.



also this lie detector technician seems to be wearing a “sofa cover” or maybe “drab office cubicle wall” skirt suit.



also the shoulders of mulders suits start out pretty small in season 1 in ‘93 but the later seasons woah boy

I think I've bought like 3 or 4 copies of it on dvd, blu ray and CD. I used to regularly come home drunk on a Friday and just watch it.

I unironically want to see a sequel to Hackers

I think it would be hard to recreate the right mix of sincere cheese but there's def material to work with. The story is Dade Murphy becomes an Elon Musk style tech billionaire and he has to ask himself if he's the baddie now

I do too, even though Angelina Jolie's salary alone would cost more than the entire budget of the original movie. (Especially to star in a movie with an ex-husband.)

But I think any Hackers sequel would have to approach the mundanity of it all, now. Like, there's this quote that I believe is from William Gibson (and that I'm going to paraphrase quite a bit): "People used to say the word 'hacker' and it meant 'I'm a social malcontent with a computer. Computers were this new magical device that few people understood but could do anything. Now computers are mundane. 'I'm a social malcontent with a computer' has about as much weight as 'I'm a social malcontent with a vacuum cleaner'."

Dade runs a small security firm doing pen testing. Kate is a bored SVP of sales and marketing at a major tech firm (after finally giving up the fight to stay in the more tech-focused areas because Silicon Valley sexism kept pushing her away from those roles). Phreak's a senior dba. Cereal is that data center guy with the pony tail from Silicon Valley. Nikon maybe has Wendell Pierce's role at the Secret Service (it could be like Kate, he kept being held back because of racism in the industry and realized he could go further with government work).

Clearly, the person who becomes the Elon Musk/Mark Zuckerberg billionaire has to be Joey. He never really got better at hacking or coding, but he was in the right place at the right time and his social network or payment system or fart app or whatever became huge. Of course, Joey has the bored malevolence of a billionaire and wants to relive the brief glory days in high school when it seemed like being a hacker was the coolest thing ever. So on the day "The Plague" is released from jail, Joey releases a new massive virus and blames it on The Plague. The virus is built by a secret black-ops team at his company to appear severely dangerous, but of course have a secret kill switch so it doesn't do anything. Joey assembles the old gang because he claims he needs their help and only they can stop this virus.

The gang is assembled, they start to work things out, quickly figure out the virus is fake but in the process uncover even more nefarious poo poo Joey has gotten up to with his black-ops team, and then it's hackers vs evil billionaire to save the world. Once again they have to call in legions of hackers from around the world to bring him down, somebody screams "Hack the planet!!!", roll credits.

(Is it obvious that I'm procrastinating on some very serious work right now by making speculative effortposts.)
