Where is Carelton, by the way? We haven't been blessed with his salacious spin on things lately.

Yeah, I bet Carleton WOULD love that. That's pretty cool. Reminds me of something from a Jules Verne story.

No kidding. What a cool idea. How did you happen to run across their website?

I just looked at the other stuff on their website. It is pretty cool. Reminds me of something that might be in a William Gibson novel, kind of a grunge/futuristic thing.

Hey Larry (Hijacks thread), what did you think of that movie? It's available on Blockbuster but haven't heard from anybody who has seen it.

I had to watch it a couple of times. The first time (shortly after it came out) I saw it, it surprised me, with how different it was.
The second time, I paid more attention (you should watch this w/o distractions), and the movie made more sense - or at least I was able to follow.
By the time I watched it a third time, I was explaining the movie to those watching it for the first time, and almost delighted in their confusion.
I have had a few friends for whom I would rent this movie, and all of them were perplexed - I think one asked me to turn off the movie, as her head was going to implode or something similarly catastrophic.

The movie is not for everybody - If you know how to prepare in 10 or more ways, it's probably not for you.

I'm a fan of Monty Python, that's where I learned the multitudinous ways of preparing spam; much > than 10. Does this mean that movie is not for me?

I'd completely forgotten about Monty Python!

Monty Python recipes not included! - would have to be added as a disclaimer.
