To be fair though, in that movie, Sandra Bullock is clearly a homely, freakish recluse with no friends or anyone coming to see her, except for the pizza delivery person, who I imagine has to pass the box through a grating of some sort, TMNT-style. I mean, for God's sake, she's Dennis Miller's side piece. His SIDE piece!

The screenwriter of Hackers is like the Aaron Sorkin of escalator-and-talks for sure.

I think there is clear evidence that the filmmakers didn't even understand the movie we're making fun of. Even if the stuff about the hackers and their culture was 100% accurate, there is so much more, like even common sense stuff, that is so, so ridiculously wrong. I'll apologize though if I step out of the shower and half the local police force is waiting right outside my door just waiting for me to open it. That is, if one of them doesn't hand me a towel first.

Jeez, that might actually get me to watch Buffy...

Clearly, he was hacked!

The mission of BB8 is to appeal to South American and European audiences while also trying once again to get American audiences to give a shit about soccer. Like Pele and David Beckham before him, he will fail, but we'll still find that charming little soccer ball droid to be one sexy motherfucker.

1995 was truly a glorious time for cyber-thrillers that didn't quite have the right idea, with that, "Hackers", and "The Net" making up the Triple Crown of ineptness.

In "The Net", I think computers were treated like they could do evvvvvvvverything. In "Hackers", you had a lot of that as well, which is shown a bit, but they waste it so much on petty bullshit, like the sprinkler thing and overriding a robot ex-con that's trying to get its life back together by working overnights at the least-watched UPN affiliate ever. In "The Net", they're trying to convince us that Sandra Bullock is some weirdo anti-social shut-in that lives on her computer, which is only slightly less believable than accepting that Dennis Miller would be someone's love interest in a major motion picture. If I remember correctly, I think this movie was essentially "Eagle Eye" more than a decade before that rolled around, and anything that didn't make sense, like Miller being given the wrong medication and conveniently having a seizure or something at the exact worst time, or the fact that EVERYONE seemed to be in on the conspiracy of the film was just chalked up to "Because computers, guys. Because computers". And cocaine. Probably cocaine.

Is it just me, or did the main characters look like they were straight out of the gang from "Rumble in the Bronx"? Also, we can agree that this movie would have NO legacy whatsoever if it wasn't for the early appearance of Angelina Jolie, correct?

And that makes me wonder, who got on the plane first? I imagine Plague booked that flight in a hurry, and this was still during the time where he probably could have walked into an airport, said "I would like to get on the next departing plane, please", pay in cash, and be on his way. Either the cops and/or Secret Service were on him the whole time, or they had people on like EVERY plane looking for him, and they just got lucky that he was on the very same plane as the agents we'd been following the whole time.

This movie is missing a scene where we see them hoarding all those "100 Free Hours of AOL" discs in a vault or something, ensuring that they'll never have to pay for Internet EVER! Well, just as long as they're still using a landline. "Hackers 2" needs to begin with them using the very last one...

Or hacked into MEL Gibson and made him say all sorts of crazy racist and sexist stuff! I WOULD say "Someone should get Sherlock Holmes on this", but he and the culprit are one and the same!

With the level of absurdity in this film, I wouldn't have been surprised if they hacked into someone PLAYING a Gibson, like all of a sudden, someone's guitar started playing itself all crazy-like. Oh, and was it really necessary to hack into the school's sprinkler system? Couldn't he have held a lighter under them and had the same effect? It looked like the entire hall full of kids was just running around in a circle in that one spot anyway.

These also don't seem like the kind of kids that would show up for yearbook picture day.

I love that this movie follows the logic that ALL that matters is what the computer says. Like, all of a sudden, because the computer says so, the cops are just going to go along with the idea that someone is an international drug dealer with 137 driving violations or whatever. No physical proof at all, no evidence of any past crimes, no one in the department or Secret Service has heard of them before now, etc. This also seems to apply to school, right? Someone goes in, changes their grade, and the teachers don't question it? "I SWEAR this kid's a fuck-up and never even comes to class, but the computer says I gave him an A, so I guess he gets an A...".

Omission: Guys, the agents at the end are on the PLANE when Fisher Stevens has made his getaway. I guess that with them being so close and ready to strike throughout the rest of the movie, it should come as no surprise though.

Don't feel too sad for Fisher Stevens, guys. This was either during or shortly after the time that he got to put his penis in Michelle Pfeiffer on a regular basis. The man gets no pity from me.

When they were talking about the "Runaway" gun robot getting work again, I'd forgotten about the robot with the gun lighter. I thought they meant the tape-changing robot at the very beginning. I started thinking about how it made sense, that after having to serve time for the "Runaway" incident, gun robot had probably fallen on hard times. Not a lot of people were looking to hire family-murdering robots, but he finally managed to get a gig working at some shitty UHF station in the middle of the night and was getting his shit back together. That is, until some asshole kid decided he was going to take over a TV station... #GunRobotLivesMatter

Big ommission: It was a super huge deal when this kid was busted for computer crimes, right? Can't touch a computer again until they turn 18? So, he turns 18, and where the hell is everyone? No "Where are they now" on this fucking kid?

Speaking of that, all the other kids that got stuck on the roof were nerds or something, right? The absolute last people that would give a shit about there being a pool on the roof.

How was one of the three most common passwords NOT "password"? Especially in 1995...

By "You get a free domain for a year", does that mean that we get a giant room with which to fully realize our Squarespace websites in physical space?

If only someone would photoshop the hosts and a bunch of candy on the poster and call it "Snackers"...

Or watching "The Hangover 3" and thinking "I swear these were the same guys from 'The Hangover'...".

I remember watching "Wedding Crashers" when it first came out and thinking "Oh, wait, no, this is some OTHER guy...". I may have recognized Cooper from "Wet Hot American Summer", but I didn't really know who he was.
