Ok, I haven't seen it, but it comes out today. If anyone knows of the rumor that Kate (Meg Ryan) talks about the G5 in the movie, let us know, ok? Ok. Good. Merry Christmas.
i swear, the only reason they did this was to get mac users to go see this crappy movie. okay, that may be presumptuous (sp?) of me, but c'mon -- stressed out 40 year old woman falls in love with a guy via a "wrinkle in time?!? and because the only men worth having only came along 200-300 years ago??? easily a candidate for "most contrived-yet-still-trying-to-be-convincing plotline of the year".
'course, no less contrived than "people who fall in love via transcontinental call-in romance talk show" (see sleepless in seattle). so apparently there's a market...
I'll tell you from experiance that Meg Ryans movies are usualy decent date movies. Chicks love that s**t. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
Actually, I'm not entirely convinced it was Meg Ryan. I think her body was taken over by some sort of alien pod lifeform, because that wasn't the Meg Ryan we all know.
She actually kinda acted non-cute in it.
I don't think the soccer mom/date chick/Oprah-watching brigade dug seeing their idol die onscreen, so it was back to romantic comedies soon after, where she could return to scrunching her nose with wild, reckless abandon.
Exactly - that is why it does fit in this forum, after all - the announcment about it's "existance" was posted here, so the confirmation of it should be too.
She saw the movie and said I'd like it. Meg Ryans' character is in marketting, so she uses Macs, and her character plans to go to the MacWorld Expo. Leopold is introduced to her as a friend who will be going to the MacWorld with them.
At one point she says something to the effect of, "What do you know about the G5?"
Leopold can not answer, since he's from the 1800s, and so she says, "You're not going to MacWorld."
Hm....it has Macs in it, which makes me want to see it. But it's a chick flick and you just know there will be no sense made regarding the time travel angle...so conflicted...
What to do...
Will somebody who's seen this movie at least tell me if anything 'splodes? If I get to see some fire maybe I'll consider it.
But not if the Mac 'splodes. I couldn't handle that - the last thing I need is to be seen crying at this thing.
Do you know that this movie was not set to be released untill febuary! That rushed it out now because there were no other chick flicks out there and thought it would do better now than latter. They also had to do major editing to clean up the movie - which I won't tell you as it will reveal to plot.
Well, Tom cruise used PC's, Tom Hanks' "Big" character used a PC. People have used pets. It also seems that Meg uses Apples in contrast to the business'eee' PC used by Hanks. There are plenty of Macs in the media, but there are also plenty of PC's.
I wonder, would movie big wigs have enough advance knowledge of high-end Apple product to be able to speak of this on film. Or is it just an Apple enthusiast script writer having a little fun?

Google-eyed waste of space who seems a little TOO fond of her own cuteness. Talk about Joannie One-Note.

Not all chicks.
Should this really be under future hardware?
No one sees movies here though, I guess
