So I saw it today and the movie has reduced me to Orlando Bloom levels of incoherency. All I could say for an hour was "Wow, fuck, oh my god, aaaa!" and variations on that theme. Driving was a bit mad, as I kept envisioning the car chase sequences and worrying that some scary Secret Agent Man would drop onto my hood. Totally manic for about three hours afterwards, so manic in fact that I have a ticket to go see it tomorrow at 10:20am with British Boy. He was annoyed because they wouldn't let him have the night off to drive up and see it with his friends in Dallas, so I convinced him to go in the morning instead.

The music suited the moments well, and was rather understated and perfect in spots. The scene where Neo meets the Architect, programs hacking programs, the eighty billion Smiths, and just wow. The scene between Neo and Trinity as the party goes on was one of the neatest things I've seen in awhile, because I liked the way it was edited and the shots of Trinity's face. Plus, Keanu Reeves was actually acting! Wow!

Wearing my hair slicked back earned me many compliments today. I'm going to do this more often.

It's a long time til December. Damn.

Previews were eh. Cool Pirates of the Carribean, and a preview to prove the horror film franchise has truly gone sour, Jason Vs Freddy. It looked as bad bad bad. And Tom Cruise as the last samurai? So not believable.

Seeing it again in nine hours!

Again this morning, and it weirds me out just as much as yesterday. Makes me wish I knew more about numbers and gnosticism and all the mad crazy stuff that's referenced in the film. Programs hacking programs and I don't know if I will ever sleep soundly with these thoughts in the back of my mind.

The Merovingian's speech on the power of the reason why, and control or lack thereof in the universe has unhinged me honestly. It's scary and creepy as hell for purely private reasons and I find it one of the most disturbing moments of the film.

When Trinity is wrapped around Neo, after telling him she won't ever let go, the camera pulls back and the way she is laying is not only very pretty and artistic, but I think it underscores the emotional vulnerability of their characters. It's as close as one body can get to another, at least until later in the film.

Paul Oakenfold rocks my little world. The credits are full of people. And the preview at the end? Oh. My. God.

Still having trouble being coherent about this film, and about what I think is going on and why it's like this. Matrix within matrix within matrix.

The part about choices being made at an unconscious level, and what you have to do now is understand your choice? That's me. That part punched me so hard in the chest that I still haven't recovered. Because I think about that every day, and maybe I would not have phrased it like that, but yes. It's the crux of all my madness, and not an answer.

WE woke up on time thankfully, despite the power going out. Some bastard broke into Gene's car, between 1am and 9:30am this morning. Melynda and I were walking outside to leave, and I had parked right beside Gene when I came home last night. His trucked was popped, and the passenger door open. Whoever did it managed a pretty neat job of it. They seem to have ignored everything else in the car. Bastards! He only had that stereo a month. We are so not pleased.

"We are getting aggravated."
"Yes we are."
-coolest twin bodyguards ever, and how badly do I want to be able to melt through stuff like that?

Will continue making gratuitous posts so long as I continue making new icons. I want one of Agent Smith and the crows, though editing the pictures I found is proving difficult.

Meeting Cate and David tomorrow for madness and tattoo work. I want a new tattoo. Damn it. Thank god it is Friday, because my brain can't take much more. Working is hard when your head isn't in it.
