Saw Pi last night. Best mathematical thriller I've ever seen anyway.

The whole film looks weird, some glary bright effect or other and the camera work is great. Sound is super-duper and all.

Anyone else seen it?

Amazing movie but i wasnt sure about the sound track. It works for the movie sure, but i wouldnt want to listen to it on its own.

I'd like to sound deep, but fun like a fruit pie but not as sugary. A sour fruit pie. I'm in the process of unravelling the greater and lesser meaning of things, casting aside society's assumptions and expectations in a bid to become an original thinker/writer, but possibly in the process turning into a bit of a cliché.

I found the movie to be kack.

If your into that sort of thing you should read "Foucaults Pendulum" by Umberto Eco which the movie was a slight rip-off from.

I'm not as hard-core as Hobbes, but the film was disappointing. BTW what had pi to do with the Fibonacci sequence?

Loved Foucault's Pendulum, hated the ending. I think Eco wimped out in the name of "common sense". Ho hum.

Have Pi on DVD. Really liked it. The soundtrack by Clint Mansell was very good. Bought the soundtrack first then the DVD.

There are an infinite number os formulae to calculate pi to arbitrary degrees of preciseness using fib sequences. It is generally one of the methods which is used in computing to calculate pi to larger and larger degrees of accuracy.

As to PI vs Focaults - I think both are worthy.

Never watched Pi. I assumed it was more pretentious toss along the lines of Eraserhead. Now that was true arty farty tripe.

Hope that book you mentioned is good as I bought it. Must get Name of the Rose now.

Myself and a few friends watched Pi. Rather, we watched about three quarters of it before we had to turn it off in extreme pain. I guess we are too shallow to appreciate it, as we agreed that it was the worst film we had ever seen.

Saw it ages ago.
Thought it was a really good film.
Wouldn't make a lot of sense if you don't know anything about it. I hope that didn't sound pretentious, it wasn't meant to.

Aye, 'twas a cool flick.
