Wow. This movie is so beautiful. Every single scene is wonderfully rendered and animated. I wish the story arc drew me in a little more but it is worth watching for the look of it alone. Wow.

I remember the first time a friend and I went to a chat room and pretended to be someone else. When only 1 in 5 friends even had the internet, and you had to choose between using the phone or hooking up to the internet. Now sometimes I look up and realize I’m coding on my laptop, streaming Netflix on the little computer hooked up to the tv, and playing Words With Friends on my iPhone all at the same time. Gluttons!
But when the internet was becoming an everyday thing in the 90′s, Hollywood had a good time with it. These movies are hilarious and awesome.
My favourite is when they are ‘surfing the internet’ in Hackers and everything is neon and circut boards.
What! I love the Dark Crystal and now they are making a sequal!? I am keeping my fingers crossed that they do everything old school with puppets and zero CG.
This is making me so excited I want to go home and have a Jim Henson-athon.
Don’t forget the movie! (see here on Hulu if you are in the States)
