Well, that's it. I'm not going to read any more of these stupid reviews. Why, you ask? Well, this one is the most pointless of all. I think that whoever is running this AI program must also have had a few bits permanently grounded. First of all, let me be one of the first of thousands to point out that it is Micheal J. Fox. Sure, it was an attempt at humor to confuse two young actors, but it falls flat, ok? Also, the AI database is showing with lack of data surrounding DeLoreans (it probably only has : DeLorean-see Drugs, Cocaine). It must have locked in on this factor and blamed any minor discrepancies of the film with the Hollywood drug environment. Great. Tell us something we don't already know. > The only conclusion the viewer can draw is that _Future_ is the most > drugged-out movie since _Caddyshack_. Well, this shows more gaps in the database-What about all those Cheech and Chong movies? Perhaps it is the only other movie entered into the database that also had a reference to cocaine. If there is a Kelvin, why doesn't he step forward? I'll tell you. There isn't. Kelvin is the result of a lot of programmers down in Texas. I always wanted to know why Kelvin never rebutted the critics of his/her/its reviews, and now I'm positive I know. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. No more. -- Jonathan D.
