        Best Movie Reviews I've seen yet,
        "Inspector Gadget"
        > This was 82 minutes of my life I'd eat one of my own arms
        > to get back
        -asa
          \_ I like Inspector Gadget. Granted Dr. Claw wasn't
             as mean and menacing, and Gadget wasn't as bumbling and
             Penny and Brain didn't save the day. It was still quite
             good. I'm waiting for the sequel.
                \_ How can it be Inspector Gadget if Penny and Brain
                   don't save the day?! What kind of tripe is this?
        \_ that's pretty much what I was thinking after seeing
           Blair Witch Project
        \_ Why'd you see Blair Witch? Can't you tell what it is by the ads?
           You got suckered by the hype.
           \_ Yeah, that was pretty much the conclusion I came to after
              cooling down enough for rational thought -- I was sucked in
              by the hype, but it will never happen again.  Really.
           \_ I live near enough to one of the theatres showing it, that I can
              hear people's reactions as the leave.  Last night someone was
              shouting, "That SUCKED!"
        \_ I liked it, but it's more like a really good senior film thesis
           than a Hollywood movie. -ausman
           \_ what's the thesis? finding the most inexpensive and most
              efficient way to suck?
        \_ Blair Witch *SUCKED* but it was still far better than SW:PM.
           \_ I wish I could get back the time I spent downloading SW:PM.
              At least I got the disk space back.

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?
