Battle Royale has a chunk of C source code flying up the screen at
times. The funny thing is that it's commented. That's a really
professional coder, there. Even with an explosive collar around his
neck and massively tight deadlines, he still puts in multi-line
comments. Bless.

Antitrust was a laughable film. And not in a good way.

Cheers,
