7/1     Go see the South Park movie. It crushes all other movies.
        \_ How ironic: Theaters had to turn away children trying to sneak
           into a vulgar movie about children who sneak into a vulgar movie.
           \_ A movie with a recursive procedure, Harvey will be pleased.
           \_ incredible, matt stone and trey parker appear to have just
              about out-smarted someone
           \_ gosh i'm sure trey and matt never considered that, huh?
        \_ Well gee, what's its competition right now?
                \_ Wild Wild West
                   \_ Which got horrendous reviews from just about
                      everyone except the Chronicle, which isn't much of a
                      paper anyway.
                         \_ Hey ignorant one, I work at a media outlet and
                      \_ Reviews?  Those are just opinions of random strangers.
                            knowledgeable. Movie reviewers aren't just
                            Roger Ebert or Rex Reed.
                         Why do you read reviews?  They're mostly 50+ year old
                         bald guys you hopefully have nothing in common with.
                         \_ Please, I work at a media outlet and
                            interact with reviewers who are young and
                            knowledgeable. Wake up, movie reviewers aren't
                            just people like Roger Ebert or Rex Reed.
                            \_ I'm quite awake.  I read the reviews.  They're
                               fucking way off base for the most part especially
                               and particulularly concerning movies for younger
                               (under 35) people.  The very idea that a movie
                               reviewer could be "knowledgeable" is stupid.
                               It's a _movie_!  It's just their _opinion_!
                               You're the one who needs the no-doze.  I think
                               your closeness to such "greatness" has turned
                               your brain and ability to make simple value
                               judgements (good movie/bad movie) into mush.
                               \_ Get some reading comprehension skills.
                                  When 90% of the reviewers are saying
                                  that movie sucks big time, then odds
                                  time. When did I ever say that I blindly
                                  follow a particular reviewer's opinion?
                                  And I guess by your logic, pretty much
                                  all reviewers are not worth taking
                                  seriously, regardless of what they're
                                  are that it probably sucks big
                                  time. Are you saying that "Wild Wild
                                  West" is a great movie? And when did I
                                  ever imply that my judgment comes from
                                  blindly follow a particular reviewer's
                                  opinion? I guess by your logic, pretty
                                  much all reviewers are not worth
                                  listening to, regardless of what they're
                                  reviewing because it's "just their
                                  opinion."
                                  \_ That's exactly what I'm saying.  Their
                                     opinions are just opinions.  Do I need to
                                     say that a few more times before it sinks
                                     in?  They're not skilled at reviewing
                                     movies.  It isn't a skill.  Those who
                                     can, do.  Those who can't, review.  Why
                                     do you find this so hard to understand?
                                     Mushy brain syndrome.
                   \_ When's the last time a summer action flick got good
                      reviews? Face/Off? Die Hard?
                        \_ Face Off sucked.

1/26    Wozniak says the the Steve Jobs movie clip is historically inaccurate,
        that Jobs was not so much a visionaire that Jobs claimed to be, as Jobs
        was just looking to make a few quick bucks. Why should we trust
        Woz's words over Jobs'?
        \_ Seriously? Read both the Steve Jobs biography and Woz's autobiography.
           Nobody contests that Jobs was a scumbag. Also: the lounge in Soda Hall.

12/6    Lesson learned: don't talk about Monty Python on a date. Women just
        don't seem to get it.
        \_ You are dating the wrong women (for you) then. My sister-in-law
           loves it and yet I don't find it all that funny. It's not a
           gender thing.
           \_ is she a nerd? does she laugh funny? is she actually decent looking?

10/17   Cloud Atlas Shrugged.
        \_ How is this movie? Did you see it?
           \_ Cloud Atlas is a movie. Atlas Shrugged is a movie.
              Cloud Atlas Shrugged is a made-up name.
              \_ How was Cloud Atlas?
