When I was a teenager, the movie Hackers<\/i> was the greatest thing ever to me and I loved it. I still have a copy on DVD.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Though considering the direction graphic interfaces are taking, the rise of vblogging, and the changing state of technology, maybe Hackers<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n

IMDB: “Hackers (1995)” – Hackers<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n
