Below is a transcript of my "chat" with AOL Instant Messenger's new MovieFone bot. I'm not sure it's actually quicker than going to the site itself...but I suppose it could be useful. I also miss the days of calling 777-FILM mainly because I miss hearing that guy's voice. Rated 'R' was so much more exciting.
