I saw the Matrix today. For the second time.
Good: Despite itself, it still makes me want to wear pleather pants and run up walls in slow-motion.
Bad: Fat Morpheus in a ratty sweater.
Good: The spiky urchin uber-machine at the end.
Bad: Cheesy epic soundtrack music that sounds like a klesmer choir from the dark ages.
Good: Serif as a pseudo Jet Li, who never takes off his sunglasses and has floppy sleeves.
Bad: “Cookies need love, just like people do.” Jesus h holy hell, I’m gonna yarf.
Good: Fantasizing about stomping down the street in one of those Zion mega-robot ass kickers. Yeah.
Bad: The annoying chick in the seat next to me who overreacted to every lame contrived emotional tug injected into the plot. So I kicked her. Accidentally. hehe.
