First of all, a giant corporation probably shouldn't be being hacked by teenagers. I put that on the corporation, not the teenagers.

I like movies that work on two levels - like The Simpsons, kids can watch it and adults can watch it. Teenagers can watch Hostel and if they want to see a blood and guts violent movie they're going to have a great time.
