XKCD

When I was a teenager, the movie Hackers was the greatest thing ever to me and I loved it. I still have a copy on DVD.

Sexy Burn, vibrantly dressed Crash, and a bunch of brightly cheerful pseudo-hippies/anarchists. What wasn’t there to love? This movie had it all, including a red leather motorcycle suit, close ups of dewy stomach skin and near kissing-close conversation. Plus a crazy alternate state version of the Internet and reality.

Though considering the direction graphic interfaces are taking, the rise of vblogging, and the changing state of technology, maybe Hackers is closer to reality than it was back when it was made. Sure, it’s full on cheese, but there are some aspects that spark a strange echo in my chest.

So when I saw “xkcd: The Hack,” my heart did a little skip-beat and I was filled with such happiness that I just had to share it with the world.


Links of interest:

IMDB: “Hackers (1995)” – Hackers. Starring: Johnny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie. I had such a crush on Johnny Lee Miller at the time, and Angelina Jolie was completely mesmerizing. I wanted to see more of Joey, which meant I stalked Jesse Bradford for a time. Plus Matthew Lillard will always be my favorite Cereal Killer.
