I just couldn't focus on anything else that wasn't Sandra Bullock's perfect hair
Carl Reiner LOVED this movie and I personally think it is because he was HORNY for Sandra BULLOCK.
RIP to a legend
so Sandra Bullock coined the phrase “spineless simp” in this movie in 1995 and we just ignored it for 20+ years????
this movie has aged me. the side of Gen Z that has never seen a floppy disc is laughing in my virtual face right now rip
Oh, to return to the era where movies would make up shit about computers because no one knew how computers worked, and Sandra Bullock would run around with her belly button constantly exposed.
oh to be a cute brown haired girl working in tech whose boat sex with a handsome british man leads her to discover the innate peril endemic to every citizen logging every detail of their entire lives all in one easily accessible place
"Just think about it. Our whole world is sitting there on a computer. It's in the computer, everything: your, your DMV records, your, your social security, your credit cards, your medical records. It's all right there. Everyone is stored in there. It's like this little electronic shadow on each and everyone of us, just, just begging for someone to screw with, and you know what? They've done it to me, and you know what? They're gonna do it to you."
God bless that time in moviemaking when studios could make up all the shit they wanted to about computers and no one in the audience knew any better... Good times.
There is something wonderfully carb-heavy comfort food-ish about these kinds…
Ultimate 1995 level unlocked: opening credits sequence featuring flannel-clad hacker Sandra Bullock testing malware on floppy disks while Annie Lennox's cover of "Whiter Shade of Pale" (which ends up being vaguely connected to the plot?!) plays on the soundtrack.
I can forgive a lot of things, like the eyeroll-worthy homages to Strangers on a Train and Psycho, me trying (and failing) to understand how the San Francisco setting and AIDS awareness fit into the specific conspiracy narrative (hint: they really don't, other than Frisco obviously being a tech hub) and that Jeremy Northam is essentially what you'd get if a computer program was tasked with creating "Stock Young English Villain," but what I can't forgive or forget? This movie making me feel sympathy for Dennis Miller.
NO. YOU DO NOT.
Sorry, The Net, but this is the only '95 virus that I'll accept.
The best part is when she turns on a computer fireplace to demonstrate what a dumb loser internet hacker slob she is
