[ajug-members] James Gosling and a Movie

[Howard Kapustein]

Fortunately I have a spouse who shares most of my tastes (though she unequivocally draws the line at the mere thought of RoadHouse:-)

But for a broader audience...

The American President?
Wedding Crashers?
The last bond flick? Pierce, Halle, actually had a good plot, scenery, action (with the sword fight ranking tops:-)

If I remember correctly, this event was first billed as a "date night".
The film choices, however, have been overwhelmingly geek-centric. How
many of us could convince our non-technical partners to watch the Matrix
(again) or Revolution OS? (Yes, Dan, I realize the suggestion was at
least partly tongue-in-cheek, but it highlights the point.)

We might be better off with something like Mission Impossible III: for
the non-technical guys we've got an action film; for the non-technical
women there's, well, Tom Cruise. Or, perhaps, a classic such as Citizen
Kane, Casablanca or Notorious. Another approach would be a foreign film
such as Amadovar's recent Volver or Truffaut's The 400 Blows.

Just a suggestion.
