I know that this has been argued over and over, but
technically, the AD dating scheme began with the year
*1*, there was no year *0*, so while 1/1/2000 is the
first year starting with a "2", the millenium does not
end until 12/31/2000, and the next one does not start
until 1/1/2001 (hence the movie).

(Or was this just a troll to catch those obsessive
folk like me...if so, reel me in.)
