Anyways... I saw this movie. (Minority Report)

And I'd have to say it's a little bit over-rated.

For some reason I thought it was really slow, and stuff. Maybe that's cause I figured out the ending of the plot like halfway through the movie.

I want to see Sum of all Fears now. I missed it last week.

All the eye-scanners, etc, in the movie sorta made me wonder about privacy in the future. They could track everywhere you are, etc., but the movie also pointed out how accustomed everyone had become to lack of privacy.. They released these "spiders" into the building to try and find John (played by Cruise), and the spiders came across everything, like people having sex, a wife-husband argument. But all those people did was stop what they were doing for a brief second while their eye's were scanned, and then continued where they left off.

I'm sorta scared of all this advance in the world of privacy, or lack there of, lately. I could bring religion into this, but I won't. What if the government wanted to cut off certain people from performing regular tasks? Grocery shopping, going to the movies, etc. With retina scanners in every store, they could do that. They could just not let them purchase based on their identity. They can do this now with credit cards, etc. But cash leaves no trace... Well, maybe it does.. But they can't verify cash on the spot and decide whether they want to take it or not.

Anyways.. That's enough ranting for me for now.

Yes, I agree. Sum of All Fears was a great movie, very suspensful, but I didn't get much of a chance to enjoy it when I saw it. Girls giggle too much :/. I need to see it again.

i'm looking forward to , the trailers pretty good, but the characters look TERRIBLE. i mean, just look at colin farrel! ridiculous. looks like they got rid of the red hair too, which to be honest did look silly on ben affleck.

the most dissapointing thing? daredevil FLINCHES when elektra throws a si at his head. how gay is that? the pussy. however he does use a guys body as a skateboard down a bannister so thats pretty cool.

I'm sorry I'm NORMAL and I associate with members of the opposite sex. Don't come up with that "what is normal," crap either. Normal is not sitting inside all day replying on a PocketPC forum, I can tell you that for sure.

Then why do you have 2000 posts?
I wanted all things
To seem to make some sense,
So we all could be happy, yes,
Instead of tense.
And I made up lies
So that they fit nice,
And I made this sad world
A par-a-dise.
