how many here have seen startup.com http://www.startupdotcom-themovie.com/
(the www site is silly and sparse) which was at the doubletake film fest
back in may?
has it already passed thru the triangle? if not it would make a great
rocky-horror-like feature to attend as a group. the film, according to a
friend who saw it on both coasts, had folks in shock in DC but was treated
as a comedy in santa barbara.

salon
i think of this as i spent last night watching the PBS revenge of the
nerds follow-up in which the host robert cringely gushes over startups
whilst dissing slightly the internet founders as career scientists who
never made a penny on their ideas. the film certainly views differently
today than back when cringely made it...
