6/16    Better late than never.  From the Motd Movie Critic:
        Spider Man: Good.  Fun.  Go see it.  Do not expect best movie since
                    JC was born.  It's good but only a desperate movie going
                    public could boost it to the top 10 overall movie list.  A-
        Sum of all fears: Mediocre.  Highly disappointing.  BA plays CIA Wonder
                    Boy Jack Ryan (they mushed the script so for a young Ryan).
                        \_ CIA Boy Wonder Jack Ryan sounds better.
                    Unfortunately BA's character is a moron and BA is also a
                    moron.  Bad script combined with moronic actor does not
                    make for a believable top notch intelligence character.
                    Also disappointing are the villains who have minimal
                    motivation and are never fleshed out at all.  Jack vs.
                    the Cardboard Kings.  This Critic also objects to the
                    PC-ification of the book where the terrorists were arabs,
                    not re-fried Nazis who have nothing to gain from a nuclear
                    war.  C.
                    \_ I also forgot to mention to lack of reality of the whole
                       aircraft carrier thing.  I'm changing it to a C-.  -MMC
                    \_ I recommend Bourne Identity. It was a great movie
                       inspite of Matt Damon. Some decent car chases (no where
                       near as good as the chases in Ronin, but still pretty
                       good) along with good fight scenes and plot development.
                       There were weak parts in the background story but it
                       wasn't glaring like Sum or say Art of War. A- - !MMC
                       \_ "no where near as good as the chases in Ronin?"
                          ok, you're officially an idiot, and are
                          fired from motd movie critic.  those were the
                          worst chase scnenes i've ever seen in any movie.
                          i walked out of the movie after about forty minutes
                          of those idiotic car chases between luxury cars on
                          shitty european streets.
                          \_ to clarify: the above about Ronin was not from the
                             MMC.  It was the !MMC who posted.  Thanks. --MMC
                          \_ okay, name a movie with better chase scenes than
                             Ronin. IMHO, the photography, the settings and
                             the cars were well chosen in Ronin. - !MMC
                             \_ the H in IMHO stands for humble, and
                                yet you have appointed yourself motd movie
                                critic.  your opinions are neither
                                humble nor good. go away.
                                \_ !MMC != MMC
                                \_ I'm not the motd movie critic. I'm just
                                   some random anon. guy who happened to
                                   like Bourne Identity and the chase scenes
                                   in Ronin. I thought other motd readers
                                   might like BI, so I mentioned the parts
                                   that I liked about it in comparison with
                                   other movies motd readers will probably
                                   have seen. - !MMC
                                \_ The MMC has not yet reviewed BI or Ronin.
                                   When and if the MMC reviews these movies,
                                   you, loyal motd reader, will be the first
                                   to know!  --MMC

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?
