I think I liked Hackers best, actually— it was delightfully campy. WarGames is quite good, but not as fun.

WarGames just seems like another iteration of Dr. Strangelove. It’s odd to me that that’s the first “hacker” movie.
Thinking about how film representations, practice, & legality re: hacking have fed into each other over the last three decades.

-
It’s striking to me how the media representation of the hacker corrodes over the years (and the CFAA ratchets up a lil’, too).
-
Also, of the 3 I watched tonight, the one with the strongest female hacker character also had the most unredeemably evil male hacker char.
-
I think I should watch *all* the hacker movies and then maybe write a blog post or something.

@sarahjeong Don't you wish they passed awesome knee-jerk reactionary legislation in response to /all/ bad hacker movies?#cfaa#badlaws#yay -
@NSQE I guess my feeling is that all of these movies are all a part of the same bad narrative? -
@sarahjeong Oh yes. In that case, you're definitely required to see Swordfish next. Just go look up the main character's name. TSIA.
