Hackers: Because arcades don’t really exist anymore and no one cares about the high score on for the ones that are still around.

FUCK YOU I’M BRINGING IT BACK

I’ll say this about Hackers: it’s a period piece about what we (at the time) wanted out of the present. We wanted hacking, computers, living at the bleeding edge of all this tech, to look and sound that cool. So the movie takes liberties.

As a concept, that absolutely could be done now. You just need someone to work with today’s youth and extrapolate from the present.

I still rollerblade…

Yes and that’s the only problem with that movie

Damn… you’re right.

I used to roller-blade all over the place in the town I grew up in. But most of the roads where I live are all dirt and gravel. So the amount of people who play on skateboards around here is pretty minimal too.

Hackers: because people don’t listen to decent fucking dance music anymore.
