The Matrix - Regurgitated

[zerozero]

I just don’t get it. I mentioned at work that I’d been to the flicks (Goldmember, funny.)and was asked if I’d seen the Matrix II preview. Minion piped up "no point in asking - zero didn’t like the Matrix" yes I saw the preview, no I don’t like the Matrix

I thought it was a fun enough romp of a movie, but ... it didn't strike me the way it seemed to strike most people (as a semi-philosophical set of potentials they'd never considered); moreover I found the end of the film, which I had been anticipating with glee from about a third of the way into it, let me down. What I wanted to see (and what would have worked and been deeply satisfying), was that there were an infinite number of matrices. That we all live in our own matrix. No end to the potential of reality. Now THAT would have been worth the price of a ticket - just to see someone say it. But noooooo. Space/time has to be liner, doesn't it, or the paying audience stalks out, all confused. Logic has to apply, doesn't it? Despite the complete lack of a spoon, the thing which enabled the spoon to appear to exist has to be REAL, in letters of graven stone, and capable of being blown up or unplugged.

"Feh" all over the Matrix. It was decent enough, as far as it went. But like sex with no orgasm, it didn't go far enough to justify its existence.

You are me in a womans body.

It's entirely possible. In which case, take comfort - one of "you" knows all about love!

i was gonna try to make some kinda joke along the lines of you being "in" a womans body. nothing immediately springs to mind. another disasterous joke averted.

I like your ending better too.

The Matrix was great eye candy, but that's all. But Zero, Goldmember? I'm afraid I just don't get Austin Powers.

The ending of the matrix should have been about the nature of reality but instead they gave us guns. Bah.

What can I say about goldmember - sometimes I just like dumb.
