If you don't want to read anything about the Matrix Revisited cause you haven't seen it yet skip this entry


I wasn't going to write anything ... for fear I would cloud someone's judgement but then I realized everyone can make up their own damn mind ...


Our weekend revolved around when we would see the Matrix ... since Dave got home late on Friday night it ruled that out because with the huge lines we would never make it ... and we had to take the car in yesterday morning for an insane $575 break job so that ruled out the noon showing [first one of the day] ... so we chose 3:45 ... they had one at 3:00, 3:45 and 4:00 ... I chose the 3:45 hoping it wouldn't be too packed ... I was kinda right ... pretty much every seat was taken so I was bitchy and put my purse and jacket on the set next to me ... and that worked out well ...


as we were waiting for the movie to start David and I were like school kids ... he was so excited he wanted to come home and paint a room in the house like it was the Matrix ... which I thought wasn't half bad ... our computer room could be pretty bitchen like that ...


then the movie started ... it was slow to start but I was not giving up hope ...


hope flew out the door [along with Neo] when I realized I was loosing valuable time in my life and thank god I only paid the crazy price of 7 bucks a ticket for the matinee ... I hated the movie ... it was jumbled ... they tried to go over the top and they didn't keep in mind how great the original movie is ... they were trying to impress us more than I went in there to be impressed ...


the few jokes slipped in there were sad and sophomoric ... I lived in LA and the freeway jokes didn't even illicit a reaction from the audience ... it jumped around so much it was like someone went crazy in the editing room ... even the fight scenes were too far gone to enjoy ... yes they were kinda cool but they took them too over the top ... and without giving anything away ... the whole concept of "The One" changed and it negated everything from the first movie and pretty much everything till the end in the second ... the whole thing was bullshit and I am so sorry I lost those 3 hours of my life and will never get them back ... along with 14 dollars for tickets and 10 dollars for popcorn and coke ...


and it was a god damn love story ... I don't go to see the Matrix to see a love story ... I watch something with Meg Ryan in it for that shit ... and it was a soap opera cause it left with a To Be Continued ... which means they stretched out the little bit of story they had into two movies to make more money ...


they could have made it a phenomenon but it burst that bubble with this movie
