They had the internet in 1988? What the frick... The first time i experienced the internet must have been in the early 90's. Like 1996 or something. Hell when i was younger than that we still had a MS-Dos computer with that karate game or that game where you dropped bombs.
Yes, and prior to that, there were lots of smaller, globe-spanning networks. MCI, Telenet, Worldnet, etc. There was even a long period of time before the http protocol took off.
Yes and no. They started working on sharing data between computers over networks in the sixties, but it wasn't until 89 where ISPs appeared. So no, not in the way the movie depicts where a kid in his bedroom in his mom's house is hacking the planet in 88.
It was hilarious seeing real hackers mad as frick about the movie that they even hacked the official movie website. Using the name of Zero Cool on IRC guaranteed angry replies too, but since most were just script kiddies they couldn't do shit even if they had your ip).
The movie is goofy and everyone made fun of it for the tech stuff, but I look at it now and I think, at least they were trying to copy some sense of a "scene", with weirdos and their hobbies and contests and tech tricks, rather than the dumbass hacking you get on CSI New York or whatever. 90% style 10% substance but that 10% had some punk authenticity to it and being a dorkass movie is part of the charm now.
the scene where he calls a tv station in the middle of the night asks the security guard for some info off the networking equipment is the most realistic depiction of hacking ever committed to film
It’s a movie that captures the childlike optimism mixed bizarrely with cynicism that was prevalent in the 90s thanks to the sheer prosperity of the times. In those days people genuinely thought by 2023 we’d have sci-fi tier tech. By the time 1999 rolled around Office Space captured the mood of the times that was pretty much “come on…we still don’t have A.I. doing this shit? This is sooo boring.” And then 9/11 happened…and then the global financial crisis happened…and then Occupy Wall Street happened…and that was pretty much the end of America and the death of the dream people had in the 90s of what the future would be like. We ended up in the Hell timeline.
Because it was a missed opportunity. It was the closest we've gotten to effecting real change against the ~~*people*~~ in power. Unfortunately those people managed to convince everyone identity politics was the bigger fight and it died out.
It did accomplish "something" it radicalized a bunch of Millenials and then got hijacked by identify politics to move that radicalization away from economics and toward gender and racial focused politics. BLM, MeToo, drag queen story hour all flow out of Occupy.
A great technological romance.
Taught me everything I know about computers
>Taught me everything I know about computers
That made me chuckle a bit.

yeah just not for you

and no normies or brown people
That was the case until like 2006
nah, AIM was huge with normies

>early 90s
>1996
Yeah dude and even in the early 90s there was Prodigy net and AOL
They had college kids fricking around with it in the 70s on campus
also, i'm convinced that the guy with glasses in this video was the inspiration for the maurice moss character on the it crowd.
Being in the scene at the time, 1. Extraordinarily painful. 2. AB. That's it.

Social engineering attacks like that are still by far the most effective "hacking" methods around.
Angolina Jolie milkers
>dumb person tries to write a smart person
>he has exact dates memorized for no reason
It's called a photographic memory, that Black person is an autistic savant.
>character is named Nikon because he has a photographic memory
"He has a good memory - HE MUST BE THE SMART CHARACTER!"
I'm starting to think you are fricking dumb
let me tell you what i think about cyberhackers
It has a middle-aged skateboarding villain. I love it.
>that run
steven seagal is jelly
it's also the actor who plays Hugo on Succession, who I've never seen in any other role that I can remember
uma bobs are not that big wtf
He was also Reddingtons personal attorney, and an eventual major villain in The Blacklist
He played the brown guy in Short Circuit 1&2
That's wacky.
God damn it, that rules.
I did see that, but I forgot it was him.
he's one of the henchmen in the Super Mario Bros movie
as in the live action one
His character was like if a reddit mod was granted sentience
>Who I've never seen in any other role that I can remember
Really? Nothing at all?
Damn dude, Jason Alexander kinda looked like a Thad
he has a small role in Coen Brothers Hail! Caesar
Short Circuit
Chuck on Early Edition.
He's got a thin neck
I always thought the black guy was playing the same character from the mission impossible movies
It's not even the same guy
It's a fun movie
RABBIT, FLU SHOT, SOMEONE TALK TO ME
god damn I whacked it to this movie
There's a couple frames where you see Jolie's nips, young me discovered.
No fricking way, this captcha
infinitely comfy
My BLT drive on my computer just went AWOL
>BLT drive
It's got a 28.8 BPS modem
it convinced me to hack the planet.
best intro song in the history of intro songs
Don't you mean "What did I think"?
Fricking newbies lurk moar
it was okay

>and then Occupy Wall Street happened
whyare people obsessed with that on Cinemaphile when it literally accomplished nothing or influenced anything?
Because it was a missed opportunity. It was the closest we've gotten to effecting real change against the ~~*people*~~ in power. Unfortunately those people managed to convince everyone identity politics was the bigger fight and it died out.
it scared elites, so they turned racial and gender politics up to 11. Because if it's a class issue, that might hurt their wallet.

you see her breasts in this movie and they are really fricking nice
Post webm
I remember only sideboob. She gets her breasts out for Gia though.
which one? you see her breasts twice in hackers
The main dude has that dream where hes in bed and she barges into his room, unzips her top and jumps on. You get a full frontal shot of her boobs
It kind of has that young person type feel and being cool with computer stuff. It works though and it’s one of Angelina Jolie first movies
This movie is so bad it's good
It's corny good, not so bad it's good. There's a difference.
in a couple weeks the 4k is released
I preordered it just gotta wait and see if it was worth it
Pure kino, i wish that subculture was real
I'm hacking the gibson right now.
I´M THE PREAK BABY!
I'd kill to hang out at their underground hacker spot
sexoooooooooooooooo
Didn't Jolie went back into a relationship with the actor not too long ago? It probably lasted a week but whatever.
