I just finished watching "Hackers". It's stupid, full stop. Stupid clothing, stupid computer stuff, stupid insufferable "hackers" with their trying too hard cool attitude. It hasn't charmed up with age, not since I first tried to watch it back in the actual 1990s. Just a grab bag of young, photogenic archetypes with a dash of ethnic diversity spouting out buzzwords while playing KICKING RAD big screen Playstation games in a cyberpunk club complete with skate (or Rollerblade, if you preferred) ramps inside of it. Don't waste your time with it, not even if you want to see a retro throwback kind of movie to revel in nostalgia and how different poo poo is today. ---------------- |

My gf has been pestering me about watching it but enduring it once was good enough for me. I mean holy poo poo his name is name is CRASHOVERRIDE and Angelina Jolie's name is ACIDBURN. Hackers love to hang out in underground clubs, smoke cigars, play pool, and indulge in the hottest new video games on massive screens!! *This is what Hackers actually believe!!!* It's the voodoo who do what you don't dare to people

I am a sucker for the post apocalypse wasteland setting, such as Mad Max, etc, but yeah, A Boy and His Dog is great. It's not just Fallout 3, but the whole series. I saw it after playing Fallout 1 and 2, despite it being an old 70s movie, but yeah, those games definately pulled a bunch from the movie. Dogmeat.

watching the Darjeeling Limited, 'Luftwaffe Automotive', tonight, it's good but i wish i was watching Moonrise Kingdom. E.T.: 2.5/5 horseshoes, it hasn't held up very well imo. it has a very BYOB feel to it though. |

I mean holy poo poo his name is name is CRASHOVERRIDE and Angelina Jolie's name is ACIDBURN. Tell your GF to watch it by herself, without your presence to mitigate the suckiness of it. Besides the hackers being way too cool (where are the fedoras, the Hawaiian shirts, the Megadeth tees with holes, the stringy and greasy long hair, THE EXTRA WEIGHT?), the hacking they do is just way, way too unbelievable even from an uninformed layman's perspective. There's nothing for the audience to relate to in the main characters; they're cool, they live in NYC, they have their awesome hangouts and access to amazing hardware resources, and they're basically gods if you give them a keyboard and a modem. Like, there's the necessity and validity of taking artistic and plot license at times, and then there's being so unreal in every core aspect of a movie that it undermines any suspension of disbelief. The viewer can't believe these characters actually exist in real life, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter, since it's obvious they would never let a bunch of mere cybermortals get close to them. ---------------- |

Kthulhu5000 posted:Tell your GF to watch it by herself, without your presence to mitigate the suckiness of it. Bingo! Bingo! You win the prize! Literally everything that makes Hackers a legitimately terrible movie through and through. This is just evidence of how little respect that Hollywood has for the average movie-goer. This poo poo wouldn't fly today with the access to information that people have, but in those days it was easy for them to poo poo out a movie that says "Hey! Hackers are a new thing that those country bumpkins don't know a thing about!" Now movies are more accurate, but just bad.  MORE ROMCOMS!!

I like the whole Owen Wilson/Jason Schwartzman dynamic and think they play really well off of each other. Despite what other people say I think Owen Wilson is very funny and the framing of the movie and the whole train trip are right up my alley. And the bill murray scene at the beginning is like the icing on the cake |

Now that it's on Netflix I'm watching 1997's Spawn for the first time since 1997. What an amazing cast. Michael Jai White before anyone know who he was... John Leguizamo, Martin Sheen, and it was one of the first movies Michael Papajohn was in and that guy is like a ubiquitous bit player in action movies to this day. It got me thinking about how back in 1997 the definition of a "badass action hero" was someone who created wonton destruction and shot giant missiles at everything and blew poo poo up, but I think probably ever since 9/11 it shifted over to someone who does a bunch of ninja flips and takes out the bad guys silently. |

I liked him a lot more when he was irreverent and wasn't trying to create something meaningful. I think he worked a lot better with the loose narrative structure that he used in Bottle Rocket, Darjeeling Limited, Life Aquatic, Rushmore... etc than he does when he's trying to create a more serious narrative piece like Grand Budapest Hotel or Moonrise Kingdom or even Fantastic Mr. Fox. The characters were a lot more colorful and honest and didn't feel overacted like they do in the more recent pieces and, I guess this one is purely personal but the worlds he created in his earlier works were a lot more interesting to me than in later films but I'm just not a fan of historical pieces. I think you're right though, it wasn't upside down but I forgot about his best movie, Royal Tenenbaums. |

It was like he used to have no real respect for the audience and that let him write the characters he wanted and make them likeably unlikable, but ever since Fantastic Mr. Fox it feels like he has been pandering to his audience and making the movies they want instead of the movies he wants. I don't know if that's true or if the man himself would agree but that's how it feels to me, a viewer. |

I watched the first hour and fifty minutes of Okja, there was about ten minutes of good movie in that time. It just tricked me into thinking it might get better, and it never did.

There's definitely been some style & thematic shifts since his Owen Wilson days but I don't think he's pandering necessarily. I generally prefer the 'feel' of his older works more but I still love his latest outputs.totally get if you feel less entranced by the world building & such in his latest works. I think Rushmore is his best film, it's really good

I just wanted to point out that apparently Owen Wilson is a kind of a douche to work with. Supposedly he showed up to film his set for an episode of Community and was a big pissant about it, despite only having to do a literal less than 20 second cameo. Meanwhile Jack Black was a delight, of course.

"Terrible movie - Do not watch! Basically its a lot of photogenic ww2 stereotypes that are completely over the top. Hard to beleive that they had to sneak a guy in to blow up a bridge when you know now that the air force could just send a drone with a smart bomb to take care of it. Ugh. Really disliked he negative portrayal of Japanese as well and the fact that it wasnt animated by Ghibli Studios " - byob movie thread review of Bridge Over River Kwai
