What Movie Does Your Computer Run?

Last night a friend of mine asked me what the big differences among Windows, OS X, and Linux are. After talking my way through it for a while, I thought it would be best to use an analogy to describe it. So this one's for all of you out there who are new to computers: think of your operating system as a movie. The way I see it, the following movies relate to the type of movie stated;

Windows - The everyday, nothing-special, run-of-the-mill movie. These are usually the movies that fill up the box offices that everyone goes to see, but don't really care about too much. Think chick flick, teen comedy, horror, and action movies. Tons of people see them (just as tons of people are running Windows), but the don't get good reviews, and really aren't expected to. Some of them will get a lot of hype, but then let down everyone who goes to see them. Your friends see them, your family sees them, they keep the movie industry going, providing most of the income at the box office.

Epic Movie

Epic Movie... I would think is, well one of the worst movies, if you can even call it a movie of all time. I wasn't expecting much from it in the first place. But the thing that just isn't funny about this film is it's a comedy, and it makes fun and takes the micky out of other comedys... this just isn't funny.

Now the reason this works for other films for example Scary Movie is that the film they are pariodying in the first place isn't ment to be funny, so that works but it doesn't with Epic Movie.

And why EPIC! I mean its not that epic to be honest and the storyline is all over that place, for example (this may contain spoliers - not that you would care anyway)

Epic Movie starts off with these 4 orphans, these 4 orphans are related at the start to other movies, like X-men, and...urmm, I can't think of the others.

But anywa, they all get these charlie and the chocolate factory style gold tickets, still.. not... very... funny. So they all meet up at the factory, and doing the worst Michael Jackson impression ever, they like most crap american comedies, end up with half nacked girls nocking peoples balls out... still... not... funny.

So they get locked up by the bad Michael Jackson impressionist, and they suddenly find a Narnia like wardrobe, and of course they end up in narnia, and they bring in jonny depp as captin jack, and stuff and yehhh. It's all *@$% from there.

Then they parodie click, (the movie with the magic remote control) and they all do stuff.

Don't spend £6 on tickets, don't watch it... its crap. Period.
