Hackers …

My word, that was nice … !

I’ve got to admit, I came home from work, tonight, to find that Virgin 1 was happily showing the 1995 film, “Hackers”.

Which I’ve got to admit, I loved!

OK, granted it may not have been accurate — on the technology front — but it was an entertaining film.

One that followed the exploits of a group of high-school hackers, as they deal with a corporate extortion plot; focusing on the character of talented teenage hacker with a past, Dade Murphy , played by Johnny Lee Miller, and his female opposite number at his new high school, Kate Libby; played in her first major movie rôle, by the ever gorgeous Angelina Jolie.

The fact there’s a few minutes of Angelina in a wet t-shirt in this film, makes it worth watching!!

Now, I’m not going to do a plot summary, here; the Wikipedia and IMDb entries do a far better job of it than I do.

But I am going to recommend that you watch this, if you get the chance.

It’s a fun film.

And the fact the production uses Mac’s definitely grabbed me … !

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
