That would never happen

Just quietly and contentedly watching Die Hard 4.0 (or 4 point-less as movie critic Mark Kermode would have it) and I thought it would be remiss of me not to respond to Pete's prodding to post again and test out Blogger on iPhone at the same time.
So here goes.
First impression, can't figure out how to post a link neatly. I guess I need to remember how to write in HTML again.
I was going to point you to this recent article of top 10 Technology movie cliches at tech newssite v3.co.uk: http://www.google.co.uk/m/url?client=safari&ei=IdOwTMDYIePEjQfW0oh5&hl=en&oe=UTF-8&q=http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2270835/top-technology-movie-clich&ved=0CBYQFjAB&usg=AFQjCNEm65tQuSAbjdAhqSKWjQlci6j_Yw.
Man that's a long link, sorry. Wonder if I can suggest to blogger that they automate a tinyurl.com conversion.
Anyways, so far in Die Hard 4 we have seen several of the examples of tech movie-clicheness highlighted in the adore-mentioned long-linked article.
I'd like to detail them but on a small screen it's kind of a pain to keep ducking out of Blogger and check the article. I guess the lesson is that Blogger is not designed for live-blogging a movie.
Also my wife is getting pissed (that's annoyed, not drunk) that I'm fiddling with my phone. She doesn't believe I can multitask, y'see?
And on that note, she's right: back to the film. Read the article, bits of it are funny/apt. But save Blogger for short, snappy posts and write long-overdue ones on your pc/mac.
