Hah. Just yesterday I was contemplating how awful Angelina Jolie's character's handle "Acid Burn" was. Like - who the fuck would choose such nickname for themselves?
Other than that - cult movie. Love it. Awesome soundtrack, not that bad acting and not that bad script for back when computers and internet were hip, not just the usual thing.
"Hackers" caricaturally but still somewhat properly presents the phreaking culture which was and is rather uncommon for non-niche movies, especially from that era.
This movie aged well.
- marpstar 4y ago> Awesome soundtrack Hackers is my go-to movie as an initial test for a home theater system.
- ulkesh 4y agoMine is the opening to Tron: Legacy. But Hackers is a good one as well.
- pohl 4y agoBoth Acid Burn and Zero Cool had handles that came off as self-deprecating. I kind of liked that, as counterpoint to the competitive ego dynamic between them.
- ZeroCool2u 4y agoSame.
- onychomys 4y agoI think we all had some screen names in high school that seem pretty terrible now.

- munificent 4y agoBack when I was sixteen, I hung out with this kind of crowd and most of the usernames were about how dangerous/scary/bad the person was. I thought it would be funny to deliberately choose a username that was the exact opposite of all of that. Thirty years later, I'm still using it.
- mwcampbell 4y agoI have to admit I'm almost 42 years old and a native English speaker, and until just a few minutes ago I didn't actually know what "munificent" meant. I just looked it up, and based on the thoughtfulness of your comments here, I think it's an appropriate username.
