I'd probably argue that it was "bad shit," good times ;)

I know hackers is basically a bad movie, but it does have a special place in my heart. I'm not exactly sure why....



It's the mythos - breaking out hackers as something 'cool' - despite all the dumb hollywood stuff in the movie.


Dumb hollywood stuff that, funny enough, seems to be praised when it comes in dead tree format (eg. Neuromancer).

Thing is, cyberpunk is not hacking. Buffer overflows are not hacking. It never was, actually. Hacking is about building and learning, not about showing off your skills (which in most cases aren't really there).
