There’s nothing like geeking it up at the movies on a lazy Saturday afternoon. No, I didn’t see this one. I don’t plan to see that for at least a couple of weeks. I didn’t even see this one since I saw it a few weeks ago. Nope, I saw this quiet little gem.
Actually, the geek factor was pretty subdued given the subject matter, English code breakers at Bletchley Park during World War II. But then, Bletchley Park was really more the setting than the subject matter. The movie mostly centers around a classic spy story. This was very much the movie I was hoping A Beautiful Mind would turn out to be. Beautiful Mind was something of a let down, but this one had me itching to race home and re-read Cryptonomicon. And, I would re-read it if I had a spare couple of months to kill and I didn’t have a back-log of books I’ve been meaning to get to stacked as high as my waist.
