But not Hudson Hawk. Although, The Last Boy Scout is underrated.

Hudson Hawk was the most under-rated movie ever... I laughed so hard I thought I was going to explode... I guess it takes a certain kind of humour to appreciate that movie!! And in a bizarre twist, I was talking about Hudson Hawk on Tuesday with some co-workers here!!

I finally got to watch SwordFish - same there - hacking into "512bit encryption with a worm" in less than 60 seconds. And he needed a graphic representation of his worm spread over 5 monitors. Porn for geeks. I must admit I am a bit of a Willis fan, so this DVD is on my xmas list. Unless you've finished with your copy Pete?

OK - I've just watched the latest Die Hard film. While I enjoyed it, I really had to bite my tongue over the use of computers in it - it was amazing how you could hack into secure supercomputers with a PalmPilot. The worrying thing is that Microsoft stated a while back that it wanted to make computing more like the movies so that cinemagoers would find computers easy to understand. Oh great, we're going to see applications that have huge red numbers in the centre of the screen counting down.

I feel horrible, just horrible that hollywood stole another one of my brilliant UI ideas.

Who would win in a straight fight - Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson. (That is fighting against each other, not against different people. And straight fight means, no weapons, just bare knuckles, not 'straight' as opposed to a gay fight. Not that I know what a gay fight entails. Anybody?)

Bruce, and he'd throw in a quip at the end.
