It’s an odd experience going

It’s an odd experience going to see a movie you’ve never seen before and knowing how it’s going to end. That’s what happened when I went to see Startup.com the other day. It was like watching a train wreck that lasted for an hour and a half…a train wreck that I and lots of people I know have experienced first hand. I left the theatre feeling drained, even more disenchanted with the business side of the Internet than I was before, and a little weirded out at the movie’s parallels to the goings-on at another company we all know and love.
