Yeah, I made the same connection. I "had" to see the opening on Friday as part of a company "function." The really scary part was that several co-workers actually liked the movie. The movie for the last such company function was Mission Impossible 2. Sigh... could all this fantasy be a reflection of the dot.con mentality?

What is it about the blending of fantasy and technology? Aren't they opposites? We need some good fact-based reality like Cops. "Bad Boy. Bad Bill. Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when Janet Reno comes for you?"

In the mood for a good non-fiction novel...

The similarities between the character and Mr. Ellison were uncanny:

both were CEOs of major high-tech firms in California
both had huge Japanese-style mansions
both were cutthroat competitors ("Finally, a worthy advesary")
same clothing style, facial hair, etc.
both pseude-Sudo wrestled Bill Murray?

(ok - the last one was a stretch)

Anyone else agree?
