While both are in reality young badasses (she was only 20 at the time of filming) the character styling feels a bit clumsy for AJ, herself being naturally too sexual for the boyish hair (what-in-the diy) - the clothes hang limp over her breasts swallowing her thin frame. Which is why the character felt like it was wearing her and not the other way around. It’s not the first time they tried to make AJ look terrible. The wigs, styling, makeup in Life or Something Like It would have color analysts in a chokehold. She somehow manages to always look like herself though. Unmistakable eyes, pout, voice. Sometimes you see something parts of her essence in others, a déjà-vu. Like how people would see Mary Magdalene in their toast, leaks on their ceiling, in the floor tiles. File this under Y2K Internet Thrillers, Best Title Scene Song or Angelina Jolie (period).”

The world of Hackers may not resemble real 1995 at all, but it is a happy world where party teens can hack the planet. I love this movie. Caveat: I’d bet there are probably “Rock and Roll” or “Surf” movies from the late 1950’s that are both similarly absurd and inaccurate and also full of joy, but as a clueless adult I wouldn’t know them if I saw them.”
