As the newly-christened Vanilla Albatross, I feel it is my duty- nay, my imperative to respond to the serious charges that Beerslinger has lain upon this beacon of sanity and reason that is Wetwired. Is this most egregious offense against sanity and reason something that I can abide? I dare say that it is not, dear reader.

I speak, of course, of Beerslinger saying Hackers is a good movie.

Beerslinger says that Hackers is “a low budget, low class science fiction thriller, replete with bad acting and bad writing.” Had he simply refrained from further comment upon that wise and noble statement , we would have had no quarrel. However, he then says the following:

“Take another look at it if you don’t believe me. It’s Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, without Sidney Poitier.”

…

Challenge Accepted, old friend.

I will do this, folks. For the sake of make sure I am absolutely justified in my hatred of this movie (and so that I can craft a truly epic rebuttal disputing the line of BS you see in his article) I will make the ultimate sacrifice.

That’s right- I will rewatch Hackers. Once that is done, I will give the full, uncut rebuttal that my round little friend deserves for his masterwork.

Out.
