Very nice! 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
sources. What really bothers me is that the films take themselves so
over-the-top seriously, and too many fans seem to think that real,
sophisticated philosophy is being dispensed. No one here seems to have
fallen into that particular trap, but I know about a dozen people who think
that the Matrix is the first film to really tell it like it is.
Weird. Even Trekkies don’t get into Star Trek quite that much, I think...
Dave!

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 Revolutions, and the article
posted helped explain a bit.
