gmonkey42I had to kitty-proof my kitchen today. I discovered that Snape can get into a little hole and get under the dishwasher and all the cupboards. So I blocked all the holes with several layers of duct tape. I'll be glad when she's big enough that she can't get into stuff like that. Of course, then she'll be big enough to get on top of the book case and everything. Arrg.
I finally saw The Matrix Reloaded.
I don't care what everyone else says - it was pretty good. I mean, ok, that one part of the car chase was soooo obviously CG. But the thing with the ghosts, werewolves and, I presume, vampires was cool. And it goes without saying that I HAVE to get an outfit like Neo's and I don't care whom I have to kill to get it.
I'm a little confused about Neo's choices (bear in mind, I had a kitty climbing all over me while I was trying to watch - I told you cats like The Matrix). So, the door he picked meant that he'd save Triinity but Zion would get attacked. And the other door would've meant... what? Everybody dies, including Trinity? The Architect made it sound like she was going to die in either case.
I thought that without the Trinity factor, like the previous five times, Neo would have to choose between letting the Matrix get, ehh, reloaded, or taking out the Matrix and all of humanity with it. In either case, Zion gets destroyed but with the first option, it gets rebuilt, by the small number of people that Neo's supposed to choose. So, adding Trinity into the mix this time, with which option was she associated? The way the Architect was talking about it seems to contradict my interpretation: the Architect should want Neo to pick the option where humans aren't destroyed, so the Matrix continues to have its power source. But Neo is, ideally, supposed to want to pick the other one, so the Matrix can't go on. Right? Otherwise, there's no conflict. So, one would think, given the Architect's smugness in describing the situation, that saving Trinity meant humanity wouldn't get destroyed and the Matrix would go on to its seventh iteration. But the Architect was also talking about love being a new wrinkle to it - that it might influence Neo to behave differently from his predecessors. Why was he talking like that? How would it be any different from how he would've expected Neo to behave without a Trinity?
I expected there to be more of Niobe. However you spell it... Maybe she'll be in the next one more. She was cool.
I liked the bit with the guy swearing in French. I knew some of those words. What's with his wife? Persephone? Yeah, guys, way to be subtle. And what was that with the orgasm-inducing chocolate cake? He was trying to demonstrate that we don't have any free will but what the hell's that got to do with it? Ok, we have an involuntary physical rection to some things but that doesn't apply to everything. Duh.
