feelin\u2019<\/b> | matrix-y<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ill first stick this bit of info into the precedings. theres a new teaser trailer up for a roland emmerich film called the day after tomorrow<\/a> about a post-\u201capocalyptic\u201d second ice age\u2026a pretty scary (but real) possibility. it stars dennis quaid and jake gyllenhaal, one of my favorite actors at the moment\u2026so take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in a little over 12 hours, ill be watching the finale to a 4 year trilogy\u2026woo! there have so far been a fair amount of bad reviews and an even amount of good (and some disturbingly excited) reviews for matrix revolutions<\/b>. i think paul clinton<\/a>, who i incidentally think is an absolute arse of a reviewer, stated it best when he said, \u201cwhen it comes to the matrix<\/b> franchise, either people love it \u2014 really, really love it. or they hate it \u2014 really, really hate it.<\/i>\u201d cant disagree with you there, ass cheeks. the reviews have been almost predictably split down a demarcated boundary. most of the tepid-to-vicious reviews have been from your average pedestrian fare (newspapers, etc\u2026), while almost all of the positive reviews came from cinema and entertainment sources (ign, cinescape, etc\u2026) so since i subscribe to the latter, ill probably be thoroughly entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

after reading a number of reviews, i started noticing a pattern. not in the uniformity of critiques of the matrix<\/i> specifically, but how some of the critiques are repeated over and over again. many of the negative reviewers kept stating how everything is cliched and uninventive\u2026unimaginative. i was thinking then\u2026have we gotten to the point where we\u2019ve seen everything? because apparently nothing is new to these people\u2026they seem to have seen it all. i wonder how shitty it must be to be a movie reviewer, b\/c nothing fascinates them anymore\u2026pure entertainment is placed behind the need for critically intellectual masturbation. but whatever\u2026matrix, woot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
