Greetings from Monday, people -- you know it's been a crazy weekend when you're looking forward to a few slow workdays to get a breather. In between shuttling teenagers around The Bean, I did see "The Matrix Revolutions", and here's the plain (or to some, appalling) truth: it was my favorite installment of the trilogy! I was never on the original Matrix cult train, though, so maybe I'm immune to the disappointment others seem to have. It was a satisfying conclusory chapter to the story -- if the whole thing was one long movie, would people complain as loudly that the denouement was somewhat anticlimactic? I think we expect too much, for each installment to "top" its predecessors rather than just complement them. The probable exception to this rule, of course, will be "Return of the King," which by all accounts will be somehow even better than the other two...*shiver*! Anyway, back to the Matrix -- check out the Corporate Mofo guide to the dense weave of pop philosophical claptrap the Wachowskis have spun...and some brilliant photoshopping! Thanks to N.K. "Plot Hole Ahead" Woodward for the link.
