You're right. I must not have read all 3 lines. Like this one: "If you've tried to sign up for a cellphone plan in stores, you'll understand their plight." Or even this piece of one: "the other cellphone providers are pretty similar." Oh well.
Next time I'll read the whole of the three lines and not just go "oooh! Shiny play button for me to click on!" and assume you're implicitly responding to a generalized question posed by a bunch of other commenters and for sure wouldn't send along the first Google hit for the business and city ...

I love it. So much cheaper than hiring a surrogate!
Note that it suggests language is a necessary but NOT sufficient condition. Long, long ago even literate societies showed themselves to be lacking in their numeracy. There are a variety of cultures who appear to have used the "one, two, many" counting system. Many used a method of one-to-one accounting (with no numbers associated). For example, see Bitzer the dog's clipboard on Shaun the Sheep.
Because "e to the quantity i tau over two plus one equals 0 therefore God exists" just doesn't roll off the tongue. Also? Doesn't even look as pretty!
@OneHalfAmazing: Funny, I was thinking "huh, typing 'rdio+[CTRL+ENTER]' took way less time than complaining about a missing link."
I respect those who hated the film and understand the "thin plot" and "boring" critiques. I think this was the one film where the ARG actually helped enjoyment of the film enormously. All of the emotion and depth admittedly lacking in the film was somehow imbued by the story in the ARG, moreso than any other such campaign. It added enough between the lines that the movie's flaws (and they're everywhere, I noticed on viewing #2) are virtually glossed over in shiny, EL-covered implied depth.
Whereas you might look toward a glassy, 3D tunnel's out-of-focus bottom and go "wow, it looks like there's so much more there" the ARG's additions allow you to realize there is more and it's an intriguing, well-wrought machinery that seems to have been left behind in the quest for a 120 minute running time.

@hdgotham (Hannah Wilson): Between his morally ambiguous scene-chewing and Beau Garrett's robot-voiced, laser-fingered skinsuit that would be one hell of a film.
Fantastically interesting idea.
Wish I could get through the paywall and read the article. Anyone got a good "data want to be free" n-gram?

Is it a masterpiece? No. Is it really fun, passably well-written, and worth seeing? For sure.
@Wadetalon: Ditto. This is the first time I've seen 3D that worked and was organic to the film.
If you set your expectations for "gorgeous and fun" you aren't disappointed in the slightest.

@micah1_8: Why that thing highlighted the dog is beyond anyone. It's literally in the film for a minute, tops. And it doesn't not work.
Can we get a confirmation of the $325 ETF being the only necessary cost here?
Because $325 for a brand new, no-contract 8gb iPhone 3GS is a steal.

I say we get a jump on it and begin genetically engineering dragons immediately.
I'll defer to a more successful bear.
@NotGodot: Totally. It's why I ignore anyone who makes references to any relatively well-known work of art. 'Cause who wants to be associated with people who like things?
And, for the record, Hard-Boiled Wonderland isn't loved because it's genre, it's loved because it's a fantastic book.

@hbuzzell: Not to mention most airplane bathrooms' lights will turn off as soon as the door lock is disengaged.
@Tony McCoy O'Grady:
The movie tells the story of the book coming to Kells from Iona where it is passed on to a young monk who finishes the work in seclusion and returns it to Kells much later. Viking raids in 805 are pretty well documented as are monks fleeing before them and many scholars put the arrival of the book in Kells about that time. The movie is romanticized, yes but it's far from inaccurate in the majority of its story.
But, y'know, way more fun to pre-emptively crap on a beautiful movie with rudimentary knowledge of historical records.

This guy knows exactly what they mean.
Was it a "Hung Jury"?
