Crazy shit in movies
I watch a lot of movies, because I hate my life and movies make me forget that for 90-180 minutes at a time. I was watching Runaway Jury tonight, and I saw this:
Now all you you know at this point that I am both nerdy and old. Just how old will soon become apparent: I saw that yellow book flash by as the evil bad guys were tearing up our lead actor’s house and immediately recognized it as a Symantec manual from the early 90’s. Am I right?

Yep, the yellow book on the right is a Norton Utilities manual. First Norton Utilities for Windows manual, in fact. Somewhere in this house I may still have one. It was the first really disappointing, shit product from Symantec that I ever owned (but unfortunately not the least.) Up until this evil yellow manual, Norton Utilities was a bastion of goodness in a sea of shit.
But more interesting than that, how did this particular yellow manual from 1993 or 94 or so end up in a movie from 2003?
