there is no sword

Saw the Matrix...

Let's first say I have never liked the name... The Matrix Reloaded. Come on. For 100 million smackaroos I would have found a more striking title.

As for the rest... eh. They went too far going up the digital twat of that hot chick eating cake. The superman stunts were uninspired - and a cheap way out of too many jams.

And the matrix doesn't seem all too complex. What really seems to be happening is no different than your average showing of Days of Our Lives. Instead of beautiful people fighting with each other, it's... beautiful people fighting some damn petty machines. Sheesh. Program out the drama.

Passage of the Moment
The Cathars were fighting a losing battle, but the interesting thing was that they were fighting at all. It is not unusual to take up a sword and die for a belief. It is unusual to take up a sword to die for the belief that swords do not exist.
It's talking about a real life catholic sect who more or less believed that this world was a Matrix-like situation.

Funny of the Moment
I bought the Esquire that came out with this David Sedaris tribute (or something) to his brother, You Can't Kill the Rooster.

Political Potshot of the Moment
Making the rounds, Bush's Résumé.

Rant of the Moment
Curse these repetitive block-rockin beats! Grr! Can't you play something with guitars and actual people singing? This music feels like getting felt up by a darn cell phone!
