Lovin' the Matrix

Well, not really...

Action sequences: Well, we've all seen this shit before. Crouching Tiger, of course, but Big Trouble in Little China popped this cherry. And I'll take Jack Burton any day over the effeminate, doltish Neo. Keanu Reeves is a total prison bitch. Carrie Moss looks eerily like Madonna after a hellish night with the Chili Peppers and an eggbeater. And Fishburne? Hell, he's just cashing the check. Clipping the coupons.

The Keymaker: I kept looking for Rick Moranis, but never saw him. Never saw the Gatekeeper, either.

If the Avs hadn't lost game 6, I would be having a great evening reading the old blogroll...

Read the rest. And giggle.

Yea, verily, I'll wager Mr. Helpful logs in with a counterclaim. Something tells me he's a Matrix guy.

Heheh.

As for me, I really liked the first one, but think the other two completely and utterly ruined the franchise.

Sucks to be on the losing end, doesn't it? You might not want to read my blog tonight.

OTOH, there's a certain amount of poetic justice floating around the stanley cup playoffs this year.

Oh, heck, I don't mind all that much. I'd rather have seen them win, of course, but it was a good season and a better series than it was starting to look like...

Yeah, too bad there won't be a next season.

Color me pessimistic about reaching a good settlement between the players and the owners.

I'm with you--we aren't likely to see an NHL season next year. There are going to be happy hockey widows throughout Canada and the US, but that does nothing to make me feel better.
