Wimbledon Reviews

Ouch! I�ve been saying for a little while now that I believed that Wimbledon was going to be a great flick. Well, the early reviews are here and they seem to be kicking me in the tender places. So far the vast majority of critics just HATE this film� which makes me sad because I was rooting for Paul Bettany to have a leading man hit on his hands. I guess he�ll have to wait for the next one I suppose.

"Wimbledon is convinced that there�s nothing funnier in the world than seeing a grown man have a conversation with a dog."
-- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE

"Strictly of the take-it-or-leave-it variety, not romantic or involving or memorable enough to warrant more than an ultra-brief passing glance."
-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM

"Boasts appealing leads and dazzling court play, but the film never rises above its by-the-numbers plot to generate emotional heat."
-- Sheri Linden, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

I�ve always said it� 7 out of 10 times romantic comedies will let you down� even an English one. Poop. Oh well, to see more critics reviews of Wimbledon go check out Rotten Tomatoes.

If only Gary had been sober

When Micro-soft moved to Seattle in 1979, most of its revenue came from
sales of BASIC, a horrible language so dependant on GOTOs that spaghetti
looked more orderly than its code did. (BASIC has ruined more promising
programmers than anything else, prompting its original inventor Dartmouth
University to issue a public apology in 1986.)

However, by 1981 BASIC hit the backburner to what is now considered the
luckiest break in the history of computing: MS-DOS. (We use the term
"break" because MS-DOS was and always will be broken.) IBM was developing
a 16-bit "personal computer" and desperately needed an OS to drive it.

Their first choice was Gary Kildall's CP/M, but IBM never struck a deal
with him. We've discovered the true reason: Kildall was drunk at the time
the IBM representatives went to talk with him. A sober man would not have
insulted the reps, calling their employer an "Incredibly Bad Monopoly" and
referring to their new IBM-PC as an "Idealistically Backwards
Microcomputer for People without Clues". Needless to say, Gary "I Lost The
Deal Of The Century" Kildall was not sober.
