So when Smith had 40 leading scientists all male, and their 40 assistants all female, that’s a reasonable representation of the inclinations and abilities of men and women? To be sure, that was a constructed example for a purpose, but in the absence of systematic discrimination, there’s no way they’d get out of dock without having some pointed questions asked simply on the basis of the extreme the improbability of that arising by chance. You don’t need to have forced quotas for that kind of low-entropy arrangement raising eyebrows.

That it didn’t raise those eyebrows until way too late… well, I kind of lost him there.

Exactly. We just wait for the reviews, buy the DVD used and watch it at our leisure.

I understand the time crunch. I’ve only been to 4 movies in the last year and I also prefer matinees. In the 3 years before that I had only seen “Batman Begins” and the followup with Heath Ledger and the movie “300.”

All three of the “Millenium” movies are on NetFlix. My younger brother bought me a year’s subscription.

I don’t go to many movies because my reaction too often is, “Well, that’s $10.00 and two hours I’ll never get back.

If you knew how many books are stacked up waiting for me to read…and seriously, I rarely if ever read novels any more. I did read a few short ones just a few months before I started this blog in 2010, but before that I hadn’t tackled one in a decade, since I started stripping. No, stripping didn’t atrophy my brain cells; I was just too tired when I got home to read anything longer than a short story, and once I started escorting I wanted short pieces I could read with less chance of being interrupted by a call.

You should read the books then, not that I’m saying that the film (I’ve only seen the first) isn’t good, but you are a librarian

No, I haven’t seen many movies in theaters since we left New Orleans in 2006; the nearest theater is 20 miles away and they always show movies at idiotic times like 4:00 or 6:00 (I prefer matinees).
