So, after a few years of downtime the Library of Alexandria will finally be reopened again. It’s about time too. They have a better fire alarm this time, but in order to inspect it, you’ll have to wait until the official opening day on April 23th next year. I really hope their library cards will be made of oldfashioned papyrus. (Davezilla)

Anti-trust, which I saw yesterday, had some uncanny resemblance to Sneakers. Both focus on some sort of conspiracy, a conspiracy that leads to the death of those that are no longer of any use for the Evil Empire.

The Black Cryptocracker Box — lots of free toys inside! — and Synapse have the same purpose: to provide backdoors into everything. The henchmen who are not whom they appear to be. They/he even have to enter the building to steal the box/cd while at the same time avoiding the guards by hiding in cramp spaces.

In some scenes Ryan Phillippe looked like River Phoenix, with the difference off less hair, glasses and being alive. I will not mention that in some other scenes I expected Tim Robbins to pick up a paper with a circle on it from his table and say, “You know, for kids.” But he never did, not even once. But the questions remain: who is Whisper in Anti-Trust? Who gets the Winnebago, will there be peace towards man, and in which Internet-store near you can one buy the lego servers?

Do I need to mention that I, unlike most people, actually like both flicks? Even though they have faults? And that I need to buy the dvd-discs as soon as I can?
