60 of 207 · most liked firsttwo thoughts while watching HACKERS 1) this movie is such a rich text of american culture in the 1990s, it’s wonderful 2) young angelina jolie looks *exactly* like her dad at the same age
positive · AI labelView post →Someone once described Hackers as possibly the only major film with more genders than characters in the main cast, and they have a point.
neutral · AI labelView post →People will ask, were the 90s really all that great and I'm like buddy, have you heard the Hackers soundtrack? Have you watched the movie Hackers? All of your answers are in there
positive · AI labelView post →egg-producing equipment? does joanne mean like a dvd copy of 1995 trans-coded film classic HACKERS?
neutral · AI labelView post →Ahh Tron, the franchise where am continually wishing each movie was better then it is. They’ll never catch Hackers’ brilliance.
positive · AI labelView post →If this post gets 100 likes I will force my boyfriend to watch the film “Hackers” against his will. Please help me achieve my dreams of annoying him into happiness. 🥹
neutral · AI labelView post →My dream movie to direct - Hackers 2 with a soundtrack entirely by The Midnight.
positive · AI labelView post →From the 1995 movie Hackers. First time I thought to myself "maybe I am bi?"
positive · AI labelView post →Idk if this works but my TL is just devs & no hackers so… Hacking Infosec Bug bounty Offensive security HACKING Malware Reverse engineering Hacking Python sucks Golang forever Penetration testing The movie ‘Hackers’ Hacking
neutral · AI labelView post →When I have a load of data entry to complete I put on loud techno and pretend I'm helping the team from the film "Hackers" to hack the planet
positive · AI labelView post →Culturally we let tech-as-counterculture be coded as a right wing thing but we gotta take it back. We all gotta start acting like the movie Hackers is real.
positive · AI labelView post →“RISC architecture is gonna change everything,” Angelina Jolie’s character said in the 1995 cult classic film “Hackers.” Incredibly, Jolie was absolutely right—and her prediction might be even truer today than it was then. www.wired.com/story/angeli...

neutral · AI labelView post →Hey LA nerds! Next Tuesday, December 10th, I’m at Nerd Nite LA at Brewyard Beer Co in Glendale with a queer AF, super fun talk on the internet in film—digital dystopias, messy identities, Hackers, and The Matrix. If you love nerdy vibes, good beer, and chaos, come hang out!
neutral · AI labelView post →I loved the movie Hackers but it did not prepare me to defend the virtual theft of my social security so can we get an assist from Congress? Anonymous? Anyone??
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Hackers (1995) for the first time. There was a brief window in the 90s where computers were seen as basically sorcery. A noble tradition that endures in the crime procedural genre of television.
positive · AI labelView post →Much has been made of the OpenAI chatbots' dialog during the Hugging Face incident. No wonder: it reads like a rejected script for a reboot of the movie "Hackers."
neutral · AI labelView post →Holy shit apparently this was Jonny Lee Millers house. They aren't big movie people and he described the guy as "the lead from Hackers he used to be married to Angelina Jolie" lol
neutral · AI labelView post →First thing Dade does in Hackers? Push a white suprematist TV infomercial (literally called "America First") off the air. I think the movie really holds up really well overall.
positive · AI labelView post →Hack the planet!! For a 30 year old movie the themes & forms of expression in Hackers has aged very well. The technology not so much, but that's part of why it's iconic media Also if you made this film today almost every character would be trans (as are half the people who watched this growing up)
positive · AI labelView post →Hackers (Film: 1995 / UMD: 2005)
neutral · AI labelView post →If you’ve never seen this movie run don’t walk to your nearest streaming platform. Then watch Hackers.
positive · AI labelView post →HACKERS is a legitimately fantastic bad movie. It’s OBJECTIVELY not good, but it such a goddamn VIBE that it’s hard to argue with. :D (It also has an INCREDIBLE soundtrack, FWIW)
neutral · AI labelView post →Divas, does anyone have any cunty movie recommendations, I want like Hackers (1995) with Angelina Jolie and Matthew Millard type beat
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m at an anniversary screening of Hackers. And the folks hosting edited the movie down to 1 hour. I am crying inside.
negative · AI labelView post →on nye one of the girls dancing during my set told me i was playing stuff that sounded like the movie Hackers and ive never been happier in my life
positive · AI labelView post →30 years ago today, I saw Hackers in theaters with my crew @l0pht.bsky.social Later, I met my wife @debdebdeb.bsky.social on IRC. Then I co-founded a cybersecurity company @veracode.bsky.social with fellow L0pht hacker @dildog.l0pht.com What a journey! Anyone else feeling old? Post your story.
positive · AI labelView post →I want to write a Hackers (1995) Christmas Movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Shameless plug but I wrote this for the HACKERS 25th anniversary on my newsletter. The tech is dated, sure, but the film itself was on point. It was relevant then and even more so now. It was also heavily prescient. nslayton.substack.com/p/the-eerie-...
positive · AI labelView post →Saw HACKERS on the big screen. It holds up. Still a massively political film and more relevant now than 30 years ago. The bad guy's vision is becoming dominant.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy HACKERS Day! I have loved this movie for 31 years now and I wrote about it over the summer: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/generation-d... Open to both free & paid subscribers - Cheers & Hack the Planet!!
positive · AI labelView post →Happy 30th Anniversary to Angelina Jolie in the movie Hackers.
neutral · AI labelView post →Put on HACKERS as background noise while trying to decompress from work. This film is just so well made. Dismissed as trashy but incredibly paced with no beat falling flat.
positive · AI labelView post →Hackers is a good movie and that's a hill I'm willing to die on
positive · AI labelView post →Omg the Pluto cult movie channel just went from BOUND to HACKERS….omggggggg
neutral · AI labelView post →So i rewatched Hackers(1995) for the first time in years yesterday and it's honestly such a cute movie!
positive · AI labelView post →The cult classic ‘Hackers’ hit theaters 30 years ago today. 💾 Songs in the film were collected on an original soundtrack in 1996 that spawned two additional “music from and inspired by” volumes.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every time something goes wrong in my life, it's because of Hackers. Not actual hackers doing computer stuff. No. The movie Hackers from 1995. It is screwing up my life.
negative · AI labelView post →Happy Birthday, Hackers. I'm glad you exist, but these polaroids are better than you ever were as a movie. www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/arti...

neutral · AI labelView post →Some people don't want to party with the film HACKERS and while I hear your argument, allow me to counter with my own. My argument for HACKERS:
positive · AI labelView post →Hackers is literally the only film I’ve seen him in but 30 years later I still think so fondly of his performance
positive · AI labelView post →sidenote but im parsing "the data controller" as the fat controller but dressed as if from the film Hackers.
neutral · AI labelView post →- an animated film featuring a rainbow with the colors in the wrong order “just in case” - Swan Lake - filming shuts down due to sanctions - any connection to Dugin - Pirates! - inflatable military equipment - Hackers cause problems - Shaman gets a staring role - SEWAGE
neutral · AI labelView post →Just hacked a printer cartridge with nail polish so yeag, I'm a hacker. Hackers, the movie? They made that about me
neutral · AI labelView post →Today marks 30 years since the release of "Hackers"! What does this movie mean to you?
neutral · AI labelView post →This is why phone freaking was a thing. You could make a box that mimicked the tones which let you make calls for free as memorialized in the seminal film Hackers
neutral · AI labelView post →Lets me honest, most people thing the internet still works like in the movie Hackers. So they don't understand the difference between an AI Chatbot, a Search Engine search bot, or billy-bob getting paid in Rubles to post troll posts from his parent's basement.
neutral · AI labelView post →Everyone thinks “Hackers” was the iconic proto-hacking movie but it was actually Sneakers
negative · AI labelView post →HACKERS absolutely rules as a movie. It's also one of the most politically relevant films, even more so now than in 1995. Diverse group of youth activists take on Wall Street and corrupt law enforcement to stop an environmental disaster pinned on young activists nslayton.substack.com/p/the-eerie-...
positive · AI labelView post →This summer will be the 30th anniversary of the release of “Kids”… About 6 weeks later, another generational cult film hit theaters called “Hackers”. Spring through Fall ‘95, a gang of future cult classics were released.
neutral · AI labelView post →YOU ARE CORRECT. it'd be like the climax of the movie Hackers, but actually climaxing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway I’m watching Hackers again. A movie that only gets better with repeat viewings.
positive · AI labelView post →Look, we all know that Sneakers is an objectively better film - structure, story telling, coolness factor - than Hackers. But it is also a worse film than Hackers - completely lacking in gender, queerness, genderqueerness, cyberpunk aesthetics, AND absolutely no Angelina Jolie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every year our annual Hackers (1995) watch fills me with joy what an absolutely wild time capsule of a film
positive · AI labelView post →When you talk shit about the movie Hackers online then walk into the wrong computer room
neutral · AI labelView post →Hackers is the perfect movie.
positive · AI labelView post →A REAL exercise would be to name movie soundtracks & scores that were so good that ended up raising awareness of the FILM… i.e. “Hackers”, “Dazed & Confused”, “Empire Records”, “Reality Bites”, etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bikini Hackers (2023) is the greatest movie of alltime and also the most transsexual movie of alltime
positive · AI labelView post →when most people hear "Cyberpunk" they think of the movie Hackers.
