>black people good with computers

>reading tabloid bullshit popmedia top 10 best of slideshow

You the reap MVP, user.

Now that I know it's a slideshow, I don't have to waste my time opening the link.

But all those adbucks from clicking every page will really help those journalists out user

We've come full circle with Mr. Robot.

Is it just my shitty laptop, or does everyone's computers slow to a halt trying to click through this shit?

gonna waste my time with this slideshow so i'm just going to write out the list
>The Blair Witch Project
>Braveheart
>Forrest Gump
>Hackers
>Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
>Titanic
>Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
>Superman (1978)
>Batman (1989)
>TRON
>Top Gun
>Goldeneye
>The Net
>The Fast and the Furious
>You've Got Mail
>Cellular
>Scrooged
>The Lawnmower Man
>Blazing Saddles

superman aged like fine wine, what the fuck
even hack journalists can't be this retarded

they're not talking about special effects, camera work, acting, cinematography or any of that stuff, the list focuses on the social commentary of the films and how offensive they are.

I feel like it's just a clickbait list. I mean
>Goldeneye
>Top Gun
>Indiana Jones
>Forest Gump

Nothing "aged" about any of these, they're still great.

>Braveheart
>Forrest Gump
>Titanic
>Blazing Saddles

All have aged like a fine wine. This list is objectively trash.

surfing without an ad blocker is soooooooo 1995!

>"DUDE ONE LINE OF DIALOGUE ABOUT COMPUTER SPECS RUINS GOLDENEYE LMAO!"

I really don't see how Batman aged poorly. The Prince songs are a little silly to me, but that's about it.

don't be talking shit about Lord Nikon faggot

>Top Gun
This movie has aged like fine wine. These people are retarded

>blazing saddles
>racist

I am getting real tired of this PC shit!

Fucking hell, of course Tron aged, that's part of its charm. Why isn't Wargames on the list for the same reason?

>Hackers was among several subculture movies that film studios released in the late 1990s. In this case, the filmmakers wanted to exploit the emerging cyber-culture. More believable to mainstream America at the time, the movie's references to technology are now outdated, and the visual representations of hacking are ridiculous and seem only there to make the activity seem more exciting than it really is. Today's tech makes everything in Hackers seem quaint (one of the characters marvels at a laptop with a 28.8 bps modem, which would have taken hours to download a single song off iTunes), but it's the universally unlikable characters who may have aged worst of all.
>it's the universally unlikable characters who may have aged worst of all.
Hackers has one of the funniest, most likable casts ever. The fuck?

>>Braveheart
>>Forrest Gump
You can make any of these now and they'll be still as good.

>>blazing saddles
>>racist
The whole point of the movie was making fun of racism tho.

Holy fuck... This list is a fucking disgrace. Looper should be ashamed.

you're not allowed to make fun of it, it's a very serious issue

>The simplistic conflict in Braveheart
>audiences that have grown more sophisticated since Braveheart's 1995 release
>Braveheart also glorifies William Wallace's bloodlust as the solution, something today's audiences would take issue with
Some people don't deserve the air they're breathing.

Braveheart, Forrest Gump, Titanic, Top Gun, Goldeneye, The Fast and Furious, Indiana Jones, ALL WRONG

>Le Forrest Gump rewards stupidity meme
I get that it's a boomer wankfest but this always came off as the most trite criticism.

>The popularity of Forrest Gump can be, in part, attributed to baby boomer nostalgia. This segment of the audience got to vicariously relive the high and low points of their youth through the titular character, including the Apollo 11 lunar landing, the Vietnam War, and the civil rights struggle of the 1960s.
>Apollo 11 lunar landing
Is this faggot confusing Apollo 11 with Apollo 13 (the movie)

What about Wall Street? That has some of the most 80's tropes imaginable in it. I mean who staples fake bricks to their wall?

There's probably some faggy, SJW trigger bullshit behind the reasoning.

Re: Goldeneye, I don't understand why they are complaining about a movie that takes place in 1995 using computer specs from 1995. What's the alternative?

"The Net" and "Hackers" were also 1995 movies, but they portrayed technology as straight-up gibberish. Criticism on that front is well warranted.

>audiences that have grown more sophisticated
there are people who actually believe audiences have become more discerning? I could have sworn it was the opposite

>Forrest Gump
>le baby boomers nostalgia

I'm from Eastern Europe, saw it as a kid and loved it because it was a great movie. My father (who knows nothing about American history) watched it with me and loved it, because the story and characters were engaging.

I'm reading through it, not having a problem with any of these movies being on the list, but then I get to the last one. That's fucking disgraceful.

The whole appeal of Hackers is that it's 90's schlock. Of course it hasn't aged well. It wouldn't be Hackers otherwise.

criticizing a movie for being "unrealistic" is never warranted

sure the tech in Hackers is straight-up magic but that's what makes it so much fun, fuck real hacking that shit is boring

There is. Racism in Indiana Jones, and Violence in Braveheart (no seriously).

Wait, was Hackers ever considered good? I thought that movie did horribly on release and hasn't even made a cult following. I love it but I watch it for comedy now...

>audiences that have grown more sophisticated

It's definitely considered a cult film, and the following is pretty devoted. It was a box office failure and critics hated it, but video sales and rentals have been good for many years.

Hell we've had threads on Sup Forums about it that have hit bump limit.

I have a hard time buying that the people making it didn't realize how silly it was. It comes off really tongue-in-cheek to me in an intentional way

No, it takes you out of the immersion when they unironically show stupid Hackers-style shit.

no, it takes YOU out of the immersion, because you're autistic

hey hey careful with the labels

>Shitting on titanic

D R O P P E D

It's not 1995 anymore, grandpa. People know what computers are now.

>forrest gump
>Titanic
>Superman
>Batman 89
>FUCKING BLAZING SADDLES

Fuck these people

I apologize, it's one of my favorite films and people complaining about the hacking triggers me. You're approaching the movie the wrong way, think of it as science fantasy and maybe it won't irritate you as much

I mean look at the way they dress, the club they hang out with and the way they talk, Hackers basically takes place in an alternate dimension.

In the end it obeys its own internal rules, and that's what important. The hacking shown shouldn't bother you any more than in GoldnEye when they use a radio telescope to communicate with a satellite. It makes no fucking sense but narratively it works

>The Blair Witch Project
It's still the best found footage film. Plebs think it has aged badly because they're used to found footage films being full of cheap jump scares.
>Braveheart
>Forrest Gump
Could be made today and they would be critical and commercial successes. Putting them on the list doesn't make any fucking sense.
>Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Let me guess, the author of this shit list whined about Short Round and Willie?
>Superman (1978)
But the fact that it has noticeably aged is part of the charm of it. Most modern superhero movies are either grimdark or quipfests, Superman has an old fashioned charm that you don't see in superhero movies anymore.
>TRON
Like Superman, this is a movie where the noticeable age is part of the charm. Every modern blockbuster is a CGIfest, Tron is full of old practical effects that you rarely see nowadays.
>Blazing Saddles
What? This movie has aged like fine wine. After all of these decades it's still cutting edge because so much modern comedy is politically correct bullshit.

I stopped caring about these kinds of lists when I read one that said "Broken Wings" and "Sunglasses at Night" were the worst songs of the 80's.

Still makes me mad as fuck.

>Let me guess, the author of this shit list whined about Short Round and Willie?
Yep, it's about muh racial and cultural stereotypes.

>People know what computers are now.
and real hacking being something horribly boring hasn't changed

The filmmakers had hackers advising on the film, so it's not like they didn't realize they were making something fantastical. They wanted to make the hacking visually interesting and they did

Give me that over the "I bypassed the blah-blah through the back-door of the firewall" shit you see in moderns movies/shows any day

>aged-horribly
>Titanic, Braveheart

What? No, moron, Apollo 11 was the moon landing and 13 was the one the had to slingshot the moon.
Unless you're wondering if the author is confused because Tom Hanks was in both movies, although I think Forrest Gump makes reference to the moon landing.

Tron looked weird when I watched it as a kid
But it's suppose to take place in an old arcade game so it makes sense

Forrest Gump was always Boomer Porn

Titanic was never good

>Superman (1978)
>TRON

its true for these though, they only got attention because they were the first of their kind, with new effects, not much difference than the success of Avatar.

>"I bet you never realized just how racist/sexist/ableist/transphobic/homophobic/offensive to 'x' subculture that movie you like really is"

>not using 1337 speak

>Forrest Gump
Case in point, The 100 Year Man Who Jumped Out The Window is basically a modern day Forrest Gump.

It's one of those turn off your brain situations, in regard to the movie's 'technology' where it might as well be the not-quite cyberpunk future of the 80s/90s, meaning they're right that some of the flashy tech nonsense is just there to make boring things seem active. Something films and TV still do anytime 'the hacker' or 'computer guy/girl' start frantically tapping away at their keyboard to get something done.

The baffling thing is that they think this is a bad thing. How corny and over the top it is? It is, and that's probably a good majority of the reason its lasted as a cult film, fun first, logic later. There are films for logic out there, go see them, but sometimes you just want fun.

The real issue is their take on the cast. The corny over the top tech nonsense would be nothing if people didn't enjoy the characters, and the writer doesn't even have the sense of their place in the world to note that their opinion obviously does not extent to the cult following of people that like the movies characters, their stupid lines and their over the top but oddly low tech world.

There is no racism in Indiana Jones, faggot. The bad guys are villains because it takes place in fucking China and India.

>The baffling thing is that they think this is a bad thing. How corny and over the top it is? It is, and that's probably a good majority of the reason its lasted as a cult film, fun first, logic later.
Very true, the crazy techno-sorcery in the movie is a a major reason why it's still so beloved today

>The real issue is their take on the cast.

The characters are undoubtedly the main reason people love the film. They're colorful, hilarious and have great chemistry with each other. The idea that someone would find them "unlikable" is insane to me

lemme guess some hack millennial wrote this article. most of the special fx in these films were already bad when they came out so to say they aged badly, they were already bad back then.

one can argue the blair witch didn't age well because it's been copied to death. braveheart (i don't get it), forrest gump (aged badly because hollywood doesn't make quality dramedies like this, perhaps), hackers (was laughed at when it came out), robin hood (nah), titanic (fx are still breddy gud), temple of doom (some bad fx that was bad back then), superman (no cg, could be the only reason, millennials expect cg with their capeshit), batman (nah), tron (looked bad back then), top gun (this was normie hell, was cheesy af back then), goldeneye (literally one of the best 007 flicks, seriously?), the net (sorta tho), fast furious (sorta, gay ricer shit is kinda laughable now), you've got mail (not really), cellular (nah), scrooged (no way), lawnmower man (looked shitty back then too), blazing saddles (sorta, can't really make racist jokes in sjwood anymore, even if it was directed/written by a liberaljew)

It's especially interesting to note their take on the Movie's technical accuracy in the case of Hackers. They completely gloss over that when it was released, it wasn't accurate on a lot of things, not even getting into the straight up bullshit tech in the movie.

They're so busy pointing out that the tech isn't up to today's standards that they completely miss the obvious.

>unlikable
They're having fun user. Of course cranky "I find everything offensive" millenials hate the characters, they hate anyone having fun or being happy.

the whole POINT of why Hackers is fucking timeless is because of it's ridiculous 90s portrayal of 'hacking'

these fucking apes

That's because they're just parroting shit. They don't know what they're talking about.

"Dated" when talking about a story told at a particular time is fucking stupid.

Kek thanks for saving me the trouble

How could Forrest Gump age horribly?

It was a period piece.

looper confirmed for rëddit-tier plebshitters
