Woah
I just realized that The Matrix came out 10 years ago this month. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago at all. More like five or six, maybe. It will be lost to past decades soon- still alive and relevant for the people who love it, but fixed in time two cultural turns away. It's still my favorite movie. It's weird to think of it as not now. It's weird to think that the kids who are the same age I was when I saw it were only 7 when it came out. It's weird to think of how much of an effect it has had on everything in the last decade- how it was part of what drove geekdom mainstream; how we can draw a straight line from it to the Watchman movie coming out this weekend (well, more of a circle, really...) that casts a shadow over everything in its path.
Somewhere in the great expanse of the universe the great gears of this reality's time mechanism just gave off a distinctive "clink" while strains of Holst's "Saturn" mournfully drifted through the emptiness.
