It's not every day that you get to fly on a large airplane that thinks it's a horse

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - Let's be honest: there ain't really any real difference between any of the airlines out there. Think about it: the planes have basically all been made by the same manufacturers, to the same specifications; there's never enough legroom unless you're...

Bell Atlantic drove me to the brink of insanity, but somehow I managed to pull myself back from the edge

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - Can a corporation be considered evil? It's an interesting question, methinks. Legally, corporations are treated as people, yes? That's why we see court cases like "Jane Doe vs. GTE." Leaving aside the idiocy of trying a corporation on equal...

Avantgo: On the toilet, Avant is the only way to Go. If you know what I mean.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - Forgive me for the tacky title, which is going to lead to some slightly tacky subject matter. Those of you who don't enjoy bathroom humor (and I count myself among you) might want to bow out at this point; although we really won't progress much past the...

I am unprepared to explain why this movie is so terribly, terribly brilliant, but you must rush out and see it regardless because movies this impressive only come along once in a blue moon. Also, it has puppets.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - Storytime: It's seventh grade, and my friend Alan Boylston and I are in his backyard, trying to make, um, napalm. You know, a kind of plasticky liquid substance that, once lit, burns for a very, very long time...? Alan had picked up a copy of "The...

My bizarre ADSL saga continues; Covad, however, ain't so bad

Thu, 21 Oct 1999 14:20:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - When last we spoke (see my previous epinion, on Flashcom...), I was in a mildly frustrated and utterly confused space as regards what I've come to think of as "The Hook-Up." (As in "I got to get me The Hook-Up," repeated over and...

OK, let's chat a little bit about the worst service experience of my life

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 02:26:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - So I moved to New York City -- well, all right, Brooklyn, but it's still part of the city, dammit -- in February, and in doing so I abandoned my beloved cable modem service in Austin, Texas. That was some fat pipe. Anyway, I figured that, since I was...

Princess Mononoke

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - Almost!

This movie was so close to being what I wanted it to be. I had such high hopes for a collaboration between the wild world of anime and some serious American movie-making muscle. Unfortunately, it wasn't, as they say, all that.

S/Other: Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 15:15:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lanebecker - If this review succeeds in getting just one other person to watch this incredibly brilliant film (provided, that is, that they can find a copy), I'll consider writing this review time extremely well-spent. _Superstar_ belongs on the top 5 film list of...
