So..instead of deeply thought out talks about the fact that every person that gets unplugged from the Matrix has the potential to do some of the stuff that Neo pulls off, on a physical level...or how the Matrix is basically an e-mail server that it's users (the coppertops) use to "subscribe" to a palatable reality, and once unplugged, it would be possible to reset one's "personal preferences", not only to include hi-flying kung-fu and superhuman skills...but invunerablity to harm (why hasn't anyone thought about it yet...if one can leap tall buildings there once they realize the Matrix's full potential, why can't they bend the rules to make their skin dense enough to stop bullets? )....

I'll be sitting around with a bunch of knuckleheads goin', "Lookit dat gun!" and "Man...I sure wish I could kung-fu some dude up like dat!" and the ever-popular, "Man...wanna beer?"

I woulda, but I was riding with someone else...and they thought the little matter of a 50 mile drive to pick up a complete stranger was outta the question. Some people are real dicks.

What did I think of the flick?

Eh...there was alot of fightin'. And the twist ending (me and another guy pointed out that the score of the film even reflected the telegraphed nature of it...with a big "Dun-dun- DUN!!!!!" )

What I did dig? Neo flyin'. After seeing "Reloaded", there is no way in hell that anyone can tell me that they can't pull off flying sequences in a new Superman film that don't look believeable.


Spoiler-


I loved the shot of Neo hovering above the clouds, in that slow-mo spin, and the rescue of Trinity during the climax. There was just something so incredibly cool to me to see a guy flying thru a cityscape and generating enough of a slipstream behind him to fuckin' throw cars and shit around.

That's what I said. Some people can be really cruel, y'know.

'Course...when I mentioned the flick was called Matrix...I think they thought I said "Hee Haw".
