Geek Squad Policy?

Posted by   Published in Geek Squad is incompetent

Though I was told again today (by the Geek Squad) that somehow my hard-drive became their property, and that their policy is to never return it, in fact they have a written policy that says quite the opposite:
We also work hard to immediately fix problems that put our
customers at risk. For example, in calendar 2006, [...]

Quoted in the Post

Posted by   Published in Reality Level, Stories and Life

Today’s Washington Post quotes me, as follows:
the $700 billion price tag “doesn’t seem comprehensible to me. Theoretically, most of it should be paid back, right?”

Posted by   Published in Bad Movies I Love, Movie Commentary, New Release, Summer Fun

How come expectations are such an integral part of how we enjoy movies? Not just good or bad, but also type, genre, tone. We know who’s in the movie, we think we know the genre, maybe we know the story. Maybe we’ve scene trailers and think we’ve got it pretty much down. [...]

Posted by   Published in Bad Movies I Love, Movie Commentary, Reality Level, Summer Fun

It always annoys when my friends say something like: “I could have told you that,” after I report that some movie really sucked.  No, no you couldn’t have told me that.  Sure, the Mummy III: Tomb of Jet Li Phoning It In looked bad.  There were many warning signs.  But these friends would have said [...]

Why Does Boondock Saints Get so Much Love?

Posted by   Published in Movie Commentary, Movie Morality

Like Donnie Darko, Boondock Saints seems to receive affection, adoration, even passion far in excess of any value in the movie itself. I’d heard about Boondock Saints from many sources, compelling me to not only put in my Netflix list, but move it up near the top. It’s based on a graphic novel, [...]
