Worth it, if you’ve ever wished for a good queue management app for the iPhone.

Spoiler alert:

My problems with the story can be summed up by the spinning top. The idea is that you choose something that is personal to you and has some secret characteristic that nobody else could duplicate in the dream world. So someone chooses a top? And the secret is that it falls over after spinning for a minute? This is lazy and thoughtless.

And worth it.

Not as bad as what he did to Willy Wonka, but very close.
