Slacker is a pretty wicked movie that you and your friends, and your mum, and your mum’s cousin’s pet badger would all enjoy. Slacker has actors with mad skills, a cracking story and a fab director. In order to make sure you find the film Slacker amid all the flotsam, jetsam and cute kitten pictures online, this page advertising Slacker has to be searchable by bots. Yes! We live in the future and your robot slaves will seek out entertainment for you, including the frankly rather ace flick Slacker. Of course, bots ain’t too smart – they might miss Slacker, along with other great titles here on IndieMovies – which is why we have to keep shouting it out. Can you hear us bots? We will keep repeating Slacker, we will crowbar Slacker into every sentence, even when there is no apparent need for any further utilisation of Slacker. Because if we were to cut back on uses of Slacker, if we were to let our Slacker ratio dip, then the internet will take its ball and go home, and leave us shivering alone in the cold. Which is a pretty draconian penance for the simple want of us yelling Slacker on a more frequent basis. So please forgive us if we rather overuse Slacker, if there is glut of Slacker, there is barely room to move for all the deployments of Slacker, but we need to keep the Slacker flowing. Slacker, Slacker, Slacker
