#153I’ve probably watched Hackers over a hundred times. My all time favourite movie. My first crush as a young teenager was Burn. It led to a career in software. So many kindred spirits on this thread - makes me smile. And after 30+ years of watching Hackers, it only occurred to me recently that the biggest noob in the movie Joey beat the Gibson, twice. Sure he had assistance the second time, but still poetic imho. Hack…

Discovered the Hackers ost on a /mu/ thread. So many bangers.
There's another two soundtracks! https://www.discogs.com/release/1423591-Various-Hackers%C2%B... https://www.discogs.com/release/131024-Various-Hackers%C2%B3
Thanks, what a great resource discogs is. Here's the 1st one for completeness:

It's frustrating that often tracks from soundtracks like this aren't available on Spotify, such as Phoebus Apollo.

I remember being at Summercon before this movie opened and Ericb addressing hotel conference room we were seated in talking about how Iain Softley had directed Backbeat and how happy he was that he was doing this movie and that you had to get in the right headspace to understand what it was going for. (I think the movie is wildly overrated just as a piece of storytelling; the hacker fan-service in it is just fine, th…

#159I wish there was a way to straighten myself out after I drag with the mouse or use the A/D keys to move left or right. I was expecting to be able to turn left or right, and weave through the servers (or whatever they are), as opposed to drifting left/right and eventually getting stuck.

#160I like Wargames much more. Still, people is right that we should take the 'hacking' (cracking) scenes artistically, as a metaphor on what's happening inside the mind of a cracker.
If a movie ever had the balls to show real hacking people would see how utterly f cking boring and uncool it looks.
It’s like prog rock. By and large, hot chicks are interested in bands like Motley Crue and Bon Jovi.
But prog rock never got chicks wet. It was always music by nerds for other nerds.
I think a realistic movie about hacking would be the same. By and large.
