   OK, so I finally downloaded this one the other day.  Anybody else seen it?   
   I'd take back my "Matrix 2 is the first cyberpunk chick flick" statement   
   earlier, except I'm not quite sure if this counts as cyberpunk and/or chick   
   flick.   
      
   Anyway, random thoughts:   
   - The premise reminded me a *lot* of Gibson's _Idoru_, except everybody   
   knew Rei Toei wasn't flesh and blood.   
   - And except this one wasn't much punk.   
   - Pretty low key art film, even though it's mostly about hype.  Not bad.   
   :)   
   - Yeah, it's a movie about moviemaking, but there's enough other stuff to   
   keep it interesting.   
   - Funny at times, especially the concert scene (the music's lame until you   
   realize just which song it is).   
   - Very sentimental, so maybe it could count as a chick flick - except the   
   main chick isn't even a character the way Rei is, so maybe it couldn't.   
   - Clever twist at the ending.   
   - Laney's a 14-year-old preppy in preppy clothes for 99% of the film.  Then   
   in her hacker scene all of a sudden she's in a shiny black jacket*.   
      
      
      
      
      
      
   * but not a tight one; probably would be tight on a taller adult actress
