In "Along Came a Spider", there is a part where Morgan Freeman has to figure out the password of the serial killer's computer, which he does by remembering what some guy said previously, I don't remember the exact details. Forget the impausability of figuring out a password on a first try, my problem is when he types in the password, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FUCKING SEE IT! When have you ever seen an application that lets you see the password you type in rather than the customary "*********"? I'm no computer expert and even I know how to set up an application that hides the password once you type it in. It's standard security, no programmer in their right mind would set up an application that unsecure. The movie sucked, but this stuck out to me as just fucking lazy.

I got the reference, never read anything, but you could have used Plato. Modern philosophers tend to have a elitest tag to them (like referencing James Joyce as an author).
Who the hell would want to quote Sally Kirkegaard anyways.

No, but snobbery enters in when you mention an author you like, having it dismissed as being trivial, then being presented with a more renown author with which you reply with that you didn't enjoy his writing which is then followed by "you are well read enough to enjoy him".
Fuck you. I am not going to read 10,000 books so that I can appreciate James Joyce, Nabakov, or Hemingway.

Missing: Arpi's failure to understand Sloatsburgh's inability to grasp the obvious truth.
Correct? He cannot drink, so YES
Relevent? To two people trapped in a world of Billions looking for simple piece of commonality to hold onto and build upon for the future of the human race, maybe.
Superman always ducked when the gun was thrown at him but never the bullets.....

i think you are just free-associating and babbling now.

I hate to admit it, but I agree with arpi's original statement. Only because I think, again, that some people may not see the forest for all of the trees. How can you enjoy anything if you are constanly comparing it to something else or measuring its cultural value. Personally, I like a good story and some good acting in a movie. I don't care if the critics loved or panned it, I just know what I like.
