matrixian

so my brother has been yammering about the matrix trilogy for ages and last week when mike called he told me about how much he loves the matrix. in fact the conversation went a little like this:

"court, i'm neo."

"what?"

"i put on my shades and i'm neo. that's why i'm learning martial arts. i'm neo"

i laugh

"court, have you seen the trilogy?"

"no, i've only seen ..1"

"fuck off. you gotta check out ..2. i haven't seen the 3rd yet, they tried to program it into the prison movie channel but it didn't work"

"well then, i'll have to check out the entire trilogy"

"even ..3?"

"yeah"

"DON'T FUCKIN TELL ME ABOUT IT"

"mike, i wouldn't"

"ok. some guys in here try and talk to me about it and i get fuckin' pissed. one day i will see that movie."

"yes. but i'm gonna see it first"

"bite me"

so, i borrowed ..1 and ..2 from my brother and watched them last night with some friends. i gotta say, the dialogue left a little to be desired, as is the case with most action flicks, but being a fan mostly of writing when it comes to movies, it's hard for me to get past that.

"buckle your seatbelt dorothy, kansas is going bye-bye" *shakes head*

however, i did think that the fight sequences were fucking awesome and that made up for even keanu's acting. special effects... NUTS. i loved all the dream references, like morpheus, god of dreams. i liked, mostly, how at the end of ..2 they made the architect look like freud and he sits there and psychoanalyses neo and they talk about consciousness and shit. and you know, freud, dream interpretation.

i wonder if neo is going to develop an oedipus complex in the 3rd flick, and want to fuck his mom.
