11/20   I watched the matrix 3 last weekend on IMAX.  It was great!  I heard
        all the people bitching on the motd about how bad the movie was so
        I went in with low expectations.  I enjoyed the movie.  Yeah, it's
        mostly fighting and not much story development.  But hey, we already
        know the story.  It's a trilogy.  Imagine if Morpheus pontificated
        all the time in all 3 movies.  That would be a disaster.  I like
        the "mech warrior" fighting scenes a lot.
        \_ Morpheus going off all the time about fate and The One and all that
           bullshit was a low point in the other movies.  It was actually
           painful to watch in the second movie.
           \_ he was basically reduced to copilot for #3. fine by me,
              especially after his painful speech in #2
              \_ It made my skin crawl and I squirmed in my seat in movie 2.
        \_ No, it was not a trilogy.  It was a movie, then an afterthough movie
           split into:  two movies, a collection of animation, a single-player
           video game, and a MMORPG.
        \_ Did you enjoy the nipple twisting scene?
           \_ meh. enjoyed bullucci's breasts a whole lot more.
              \_ They look even better on IMAX.
                 \_ Would be even better if there's a 3D version of the movie.
              \_ I thought those are big, until I searched her pics in other
                 settings in Google.  Now I think they're just pushed-up in M3.
                 \_ Of course they are, that's what bondage clothing does best.
        \_ This is an excellent summary of Matrix 3:

           \_ BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!
              \_ i especially like how he does give spoiler warnings... at the
                 end of the article.
        \_ Filmforce is saying Revolutions on DVD by Jan 6th. Is that some kind
           of record for fastest theatre release to video release turnaround?
           \_ No.

1/26    Wozniak says the the Steve Jobs movie clip is historically inaccurate,
        that Jobs was not so much a visionaire that Jobs claimed to be, as Jobs
        was just looking to make a few quick bucks. Why should we trust
        Woz's words over Jobs'?
        \_ Seriously? Read both the Steve Jobs biography and Woz's autobiography.
           Nobody contests that Jobs was a scumbag. Also: the lounge in Soda Hall.

1/3     I declare LG LED is amazing. I switched.
             -long time Sony owner, no longer have any faith in Sony
        \_ How does sports look on it? -Old Skool Plasma Screen Guy
           \_ I don't watch sports. Dumb people with a lot of loyalty
              watch sports. You drink beer too?
              \_ Loyalty is a good thing. Do you cheat on your g/f too?

12/6    Lesson learned: don't talk about Monty Python on a date. Women just
        don't seem to get it.
        \_ You are dating the wrong women (for you) then. My sister-in-law
           loves it and yet I don't find it all that funny. It's not a
           gender thing.
           \_ is she a nerd? does she laugh funny? is she actually decent looking?

10/17   Cloud Atlas Shrugged.
        \_ How is this movie? Did you see it?
           \_ Cloud Atlas is a movie. Atlas Shrugged is a movie.
              Cloud Atlas Shrugged is a made-up name.
              \_ How was Cloud Atlas?

All you losers who emailed me after I ripped apart the last cinematic train wreck trying to defend the movie with promises of all the questions being answered in the final chapter of this trilogy were wrong. Not just wrong like oops, Im a philosophy major, I mean wrong like you just invested your retirement in Enron. First, the good things about this movie: If you happen to be George Lucas, you can finally rest assured that youre no longer the only person in history to ruin an almost impossible-to-ruin sequel. It took me literally 20 minutes to write that last paragraph because everything else about this movie was shitty, except for the special effects, which arent as impressive as they used to be. Theres something about seeing bullet-time special effects in Lebanese music videos that doesnt make it cool anymore. The dialogue is tacky, not unlike a pregnant woman in a bathing suit unless youre into that sort of thing, in which case you might find the dialogue strangely erotic. For example, any time a character asked the question what do you want? The pain you suffer during this movie registers somewhere between being jack-hammered in the face and having scissors jammed into your urethra: I just remembered how boring this movie was and its pissing me off.
