Pi - probably one of the best films I've seen in forever. It was also
wonderful to see it near MIT and bask in the glory of my favorite number
with all the rest of the geeks worshiping it along with me.
As for people commiting suicide after watching/reading a work of fiction:
I have to beat Scottie to the punch and say a callous "good riddince. Get
that algae out of the gene pool." If you're unstable enough to kill
yourself after watching an above average movie, then there is no way I
want you working for the post-office.
