In fact, the curse in this is very much a metaphor for an STD. One that causes you to push your trauma onto others in order to survive which creates a circle of violence. Like abuse. Which isn't really sexy at all.
I'd be curious to hear what your take is on movies like Contraction which is similar in that sex is a theme but really ultimately only a metaphor for something more sinister.
You literally claimed it was an author-insert sexual fantasy dude. So stop this silliness. You said it. You claimed the movie was some sort of sexual fantasy where the girl has to fuck a lot of people and then eventually the supposed author insert character. Except none of that is supported by the movie which neither makes the sex or the relationship in question a thing someone would fantasize about.
Yeah, I don't think the STD analogy thing works at all.

Better than the first two, but not as good as I was hoping.
Some weird cuts that seem very obviously made in desperation to bring the runtime down, and some others made to keep the 12A rating, make it feel a little unpolished. It's also kind of relentlessly silly. Like GOTG2 trying to force 3 jokes into every single scene, Ragnarok inserts something incredibly silly into almost every scene. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it just undercuts the stakes and the drama.
A fair few story/character hooks are opened but then just never really addressed, so you'll probably walk out thinking 'but what about that, and that, and that guy?'.
Overall, some good jokes, is very silly, some great visuals (though they didn't lean into that side enough in my opinion), and if you didn't like the first two Thor movies you might actually like this one.
If you like the MCU it's an easy recommendation.
Edit: I can see how I wasn't explicitly clear but I never claimed anything was titillating and fun for anybody. Suffice it to say I disagree and I'll leave it at that.
Yes. New, young Alba. Also, watch Angelina Jolie in Hackers. Hot stuff.
That whole red-hued raccoon look shouldn't have worked, but 13 year old me was fascinated. Especially during the dream sequence when she unzips the motorcycle jacket.

Don't tell me you've forgotten Kelly Monaco.
The first one was alright, the second one was just so bad. When they added Karl Urban as the executioner, my assumption was they were going to try to lift his most memorable scene from the post Ragnarok and Roll story arc. Best of luck doing that one page in a comic any justice!
She wasn't in any great movies, but was in Command & Conquer and Sliders.
I'm still waiting for the internet to be as cool as portrayed in Hackers.
Once that Gibson gets hacked we're all set.
It's just a waiting game.
Eight Legged Freaks wasn't a spider slaughtering good time?
It totally was. Best David Arquette starring movie, narrowly beating out Ready to Rumble.

Ah, good. Wuhrer did have a memorable movie.
It was and it wasn't. More than anything it was a celebration of the Bay Area hacker scene. Overall a lot less surreal than watching Silicon Valley, but it definitely has its moments.
A surprising amount of Hackers is, not accurate, but let's say heavily dramatized versions of real events and people. As research for the movie the writer attended a bunch of 2600 meetings and going over the script with the attendees. It was the most true to the spirit of the culture depiction of the hacker community for a long time because the people involved in its production genuinely loved the community and what they were creating.

Honestly that cast list is ridiculous. Very excited to see that movie now.

Eh. Voice casts are basically never worth getting excited about imo.
I mean, Beyonce, Chiwetel, Keygan, and so on. The cast is pretty great.
More importantly is John Oliver going to do a new rendition of i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts?
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

It really is an amazingly dark movie. And has one of my favorite exchanges.

I'd say the five fake things were the sprinkler "hack", the dualing tape loaders, spelling with building lights, the wearable HUD, and the gibson's 3D interface. Arguable those last two could be things that were on the very bleeding edge at the time that they extrapolated some dubious "current" praticality to. The rest of the goofy things fall under artistic license for trying to depict visually what is in reality some really boring stuff. The viruses I can remember they used were actual real world things at the time, they just didn't look in practice like what was shown in the movie. Phone phreaking, social engineering, DDoS, and the other hacks they did are all real things, if embellished. Even Dade's background was based around young kids that got busted for hacks in the 80s.
