ESTHER DYSON, editor of technology newsletter Release 1.0 for CNET Networks: The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect. In my own experience, it has drawn my family closer, as we post pictures on Flickr. It has done more than tap into something latent; it has actually created something that wasn't there with the younger family members. We couldn't do that before because we were all geographically separated...
...chord or provide a plot twist, the scene ends up only tangential to the resolution of the film. As a duo, Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth both do well with the characterizations they’re given. Firth in particular excels playing against type as a manipulative, deeply depressed loner with few redeeming characteristics.

In fact, the actor says, he envies his character--a loner with a limp, whose primary comforts are soap operas and prescription painkillers. "House has complete freedom from anxiety over what the world thinks of him," Laurie says. "He has no need for public approval." Laurie, on the other hand, still has to get used to the roar of applause...
...rest of the young’uns are cute even in their one-dimensionality. A geek, a white ghetto boy, a loner, a hippie, and a tough guy (a-bit-too-cutely-named Warren Peace) are among the Sidekicks attending Sky High. They are predictable, though sweet in their lack of power—one melts, one glows, and another can even turn into a guinea...
