I just finished watching another film to add to my long list of random movies. Instead of going out on a Friday night or smoking a pack of cigs or drinking as a high schooler, I stayed up late and watched one or two of the 500 million movies that my mother has collected (horded) over the years. Some of them were fantastic, some of them not so good, but if you say a movie off the top of your head, win and doubt I've probably seen it or at least heard of it (if you're really trying to be tricky). Film has always been a hobby of mine, but like writing I never thought I would go anywhere with it, but why not try for it write. Well anyway that is not what this post is about, nope its about the movie I just finished watching.
So I was flipping through the channels, Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Justin Long, they all show up, but I pick the off the wall film that my parents will probably end up hating. Hackers, a film about some young kids in New York City that end up busting a large hacker in a FBI agency. Johnny lee Miller and Angelina Jolie work together to find the "source" with their other computer geek pals. The music was all from the 90s, the clothing was all late 80s mid 90s, and the laptops were quality!!
I fell in love, but let me tell you it took my mother a bit of convincing. Jolie was to "pushy" and "mean" and the ADD kid was way to "quirky" and "gross". But by the end she loved the gang as much as I did. See if you want to please my mom, get the big bad corporates with their aviator sunglasses and she's perfectly content. If she knew I had a blog she would probably think the FBI was on the way to our house in minutes, breaking down the door with machine guns, just like in the film. Dad liked it more than the usual chick flick playing on the screen, so he enjoyed every minute and analyzed every part.
That is one question I have: If any guys read this blog, why do you all have to analyze everything? It really kills the movie for me, I mean afterward, a nice chat or heated argument can commence, bring it, but really during the movie, everything has to be connected to something and if it doesn't its "bad" writing? I don't think so, but maybe I'm just a girl and I think you boys all still have cooties ha ha I don't know.
Anyway I enjoyed the maybe dated 1995 movie, Hackers. Maybe you should add it to your list of movies and you can rate it for yourself!
Have a good one, until next time For the Glory (ha ha just kidding, but I had to, I miss my Stall Stories from Penn State what can I say...)
1) Yes, boys have cooties. We are not immune due to our lack of an extra X chromosome.
ReplyDelete2) I was not aware all guys analyze movies. I know that personally, I do so. But for the most part, ignoramuses just watch a movie for the T&A, explosions, and action sequences.
3) Hackers was a great movie. I wish I had their source code to work with.
Have a good one, Anne
