My problem with the whole Matrix thang isn't Keanu (though he's awful in absolutely everything he does), and I don't even really mind that the writers cobbled their little is-it-real pastiche out of a hundred other (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Oh, I've met Trekkies. The movie 'Trekkies' is pretty much dead on. The imfamous SNL skit with Shatner--pretty much to a tee. "Get a life! Have you ever kissed a girl? Thought not..." Beyond that, I liked Matix and MR, and will see (...) (21 years ago, 30-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

I confess, when it got into the wacky numerology bit ("Hey, one has three letters and three is divisible by One") I got a little queasy and had to look away. (...)
