HACKERS is a film I didn't quite vibe w/ on the whole, but found a way in via its consideration of the internet as frontier...evoking themes & motifs common in one of my favorite genres - the Golden Age American western. Had a great chat w/ @guslanzetta.bsky.social@deepimpactcrier.bsky.social.

interestingly enough, i did not
one of my favorites

day 7. can't tell if that's residual soreness or psoas tightness 👍
