Pop culture (music, movies, art, comics, etc) fanatico. I have a big library of DVD/BluRay/4K discs I maintain.
Cali raised. Based in NYC. Dad.
Love the old stuff and the new.

mashup of teen rebellion and called it "hacker" to draw in an audience, not because it was accurate. Hacking was (is) overwhelmingly a cis white male thing IRL. (but then again The Matrix came out just 4 years later so...?)

Still tho: fun movie! Jolie & Stevens go on to win Oscars! + Marc Anthony!

The moment where Newman turns. SOOO GOOD!!

Holy crap. Until this I saw this movie Paul Newman was just a name to me. I figured he was a great actor because everyone told me he was. This was the performance where I went from "Yeah I guess." to Newman true believer.
The Verdict (1982)
2/2

to my tween kids how DePalma just streeeetches the thing out for tension, with the baby & the clock & the false gangsters & whatnot. It's like a ten minute scene!

Then comes the climax of the scene & Jack Kehoe's accountant character is OVER THE TOP with his "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANNA KNOW!" 2/3
