Random site updates. Some new pics. I added my not-quite-polished essay on OT salvation, if you want something to read.
Plus, I think I have the comment system set up now (thanks to Comment This!), so people can comment on my blogs. Hooray!
Here's something really fun: The Postmodern Generator – It's a webpage that randomly generates an essay in the style of postmodern literary deconstructionist gobbledygook that the scholars love to use now-days. It's fun – every time you hit 'refresh', a new essay is generated. It is quite amazing how many words can be used without actually saying anything.
My TV decided to work again, and so I watched Matrix Revolutions again last night. It's still not all that good. Granted, I think it's better than the second one, at least it doesn't have a gratuitous rave scene in it, but it's just nowhere near as good as the first one. I wonder if parts 2 and 3 would seem any better if I had seen them immediately after my first viewing of part 1. Hm. But still, the lines and the pacing just seemed cheesy. Two things I did like about it: (1) When they fly above the clouds and see the sun. Well, I guess only Trinity saw it, but anyway... (2) Hugo Weaving. It's like he knows that the script is dumb, but he decides to have fun with it anyway. (3) Also, I'm glad I wasn't on the front row of the IMAX theater again (we got there late to the premiere last fall). The effect on my neck watching MR on that thing was like watching a tennis match. Oh well. At least the Return of the King DVD comes out next month.

So my thoughts on the whole Matrix thing is that they were really good movies just like looking at a painting in an Art book. You really don't need an explanation. The only reason it's there is because it looks really neat. Let's face it, would you really have lost much of the entertainment value if you could turn off the volume on any of the Matrix movies? The answer is a resounding NO! Monkey-boy Reeves as the star in any movie is a recipe for DISASTER! I like fuji apples.

The genius of Keanu Reeves' acting in the Matrix is that he can still play his Ted character, and it works for the story.

I guess I wasn't that impressed w/Reloaded, so I still haven't seen Revolutions. I was planning on it, but just still haven't gotten around to it. Guess that says something. The first one was so good, I think that part III can only lessen the experience of The Matrix as a whole. I have a band-aid on after part II, and part III could rip it off and let the bleeding continue, so I'm a bit apprehensive.
