No, I am not turning into a hippy or reading palms. The stars I am talking about are the 'stars' in the movie, Hackers. If you are not familiar with the film, it came out in 1995. The plot summary sounds a little like this, "A young boy is arrested by the US Secret Service for writing a computer virus and is banned from using a computer until his 18th birthday"
The reason I bring this movie up in the post is that I received a Myspace message today that told me I am mentioned in this movie. The message said, "There is a scene in it where the main character is in class and a substitute teacher comes in off screen, you can hear his voice but you can see him. As he comes in he states-
"Hello class, my name is Mr. Simpson; I will be subbing for Mr. Bayless who was recently arrested at an Anti-fur rally."
I thought this was funny so thanks to Youtube I have found this clip - here it is let it load and then go to time code 3:30 - and as you watch the two skeletons on the computer screen and listen to the audio as the teacher walks in.
Ok, now why would that say this about me?
