Please learn from my mistake.

Do not see this movie.
Do not see it in the theatre.
Do not rent it on video or DVD.
Do not watch it on HBO or Showtime or Cinemax.

This is a bad movie. This is a really bad movie. This movie is awful. Decorum prevents me from using any of the words that I would choose to talk about how bad this movie really is. It's awful. Amazingly bad.

What's amazing is that I sat there thinking to myself "This is a really bad movie" and then it got worse. And worse. And worse.

The writing is bad.
The acting is bad.
The special effects are not bad, but they don't nearly come close to making up for the atrocity which is the rest of this movie.

I saw it with 6 other adults and 2 youth, and we all thought it was awful. Several people said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. My comment was "The only good that can come out of this is if we stop other people from seeing it.

I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that was meant to be good that was so bad. You know how some movies are so bad they end up being funny? Yeah, this isn't even one of those. It's just a really, really bad movie.

If that picture is too big then you need a larger monitor (actually a higher resolution) but you can click here to see the picture by itself and just use the BACK button to come back to this page.

CNET reports 'The Recruit' enlists Opera browser.

Update (9/20/2003): CNet has changed the target of the link, and I cannot find the article on their site anymore.

Irony rules.

CNet reports that if you dial the Apple store and leave off the area code, you might get the Gates Foundation.

That's hilarious.
