Watching the Matrix trilogy, as I did yesterday, one after the
other, really makes stand out how bad the two later movie really are.
The first movie is full of interesting thoughts and lines. While the
only thing that stands out in the other two is the errors and
inconsistencies. I have already point out the biggest ones here. But
there are some I missed, like how come Morpheus gets to fight an agent
on the top of a truck if in the first movie he was ass whipped in a few
seconds? Here he didn't even bleed!
How lame is it that the line from the third movie is "Everything that has a beginning must have and end"? Really, Woody Allen did that a long time ago, much better. It went something like this:
"Everything must have a beginning, a middle, and an end!"
"How about a circle?"
"Ok. A circle does not have a beginning, a middle, and an end, but it is also not funny!"
Basically, after watching these movies, I was sadden that Cypher
didn't succeed in killing Morpheus in the first movie. He would have
save us all a lot of pain and suffering...

I on the News - Join the BUY-cott!.
Jeff Cohen wants to direct our energy in a positive way which sounds good to
me:"Citgo is a U.S. refining and marketing firm that
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Venezuela's
state-owned oil company...By buying your gasoline at Citgo, you are
contributing to the billions of dollars that
Venezuela's democratic government is using to
provide health care, literacy and education, and subsidized food for
the majority of Venezuelans.
"So
get your gas at Citgo. And help fuel a democratic revolution in
Venezuela."
Interesting idea, unfortunately the
Venezuelan government (the one pushing that "Democratic Revolution"
you talk about, though I can't see it) says that it doesn't get much
from Citgo and may sell it. So, soon, you may end up benefiting some
capitalist monster with this idea. Life is full of irony... Anyway, since Venezuela sells 25% of the oil used in the
US you can contribute with the revolution
just by pumping gas anywhere, that will keep the price up and the
government (or someone) coffers full. So, drive your SUV and joined the
revolution! (we'll thank you (much) later). All this reminded me of an
old girlfriend that said: "A revolution is spinning around once and ending up in the
same place you started at." Yeah, that explains a lot!
