twist of fait accomplis
Seems like everybody's pretty hyped for the new Matrix movie. Me, I feel like Les Moore from Funky Winkerbean.
In the mid-80s I remember a series of Funky Winkerbean comics where Les was the only person in the world that didn't like Michael Jackson. For about two weeks, they focused on this, having Les run into people that couldn't believe he didn't like Michael Jackson because, jeez, everyone loves Michael Jackson!
The Matrix is my Michael Jackson, 20 years later. You might say I was unimpressed with the first film... I fell asleep. Needless to say, I won't be anywhere near the theatre this weekend.

You needed more philosophy classes in college. That would have helped you out, at least with the falling asleep problem.
So, were none of the religous/philosophical story veins interesting to you?

The storylines and whatnot were fine -- I think I was most unimpressed with the movie itself... too much whizbang that distracted me from anything that might have engaged my mind...
Posted by: Ryan on May 15, 2003 11:09 AMI'll be going near the theatre this weekend... but to see X-Men 2 while everyone else is going to see The Matrix. :P I've got a free coupon for it that wants to be used.
