You know, it occurs to me that I am probably both the best and the skinniest customer of my local pizza hut. I find that combination to be hilarious.
I saw the second Matrix movie recently (slight spoilers about the second Matrix movie, but not about the third one, following). I never went to see it in the theaters, and when the commercials for the third Matrix movie started, I wanted to see the second one so that if people talked about what might happen in the upcoming third movie assuming that I had already seen the second one, that wouldn't ruin the second one for me. I thought the first Matrix movie was alright. Probably one of the better movies made that year. But I didn't think it was all that good, and certainly not as good as people seemed to think it was. It made a big deal out of finding out what the Matrix was, and as explained in the movie, it was a rather surprising concept, but not at all that difficult. Not the sort of thing you have to see for yourself, as the movie claimed. But I thought the second movie was great. Among the greatest movies of its type ever made. Because of it, I'm going to buy the trilogy when they come out on DVD. Here after the first movie I thought I had it all figured out and it was all really simple, but the second revealed that I just wasn't asking the right questions. It's not what the Matrix is, it's what Neo is. And if you accept the Oracle's explaination of what Neo is, then what is the Oracle? I saw the third movie the first day it came out. I left work early so I could see it before the theater was too crowded. And it's a good thing I did, because when the movie was over and I left the room in which it was shown there was a huge group of people waiting to get into the next showing. The third movie was pretty good, but I didn't think it lived up to the second. I didn't really expect it to, though. I talked about it with some other people at work the next day, and we were ranking them, and apparently everybody thought the second movie wasn't nearly as good as the first. Oh well.
