Saw Revolutions<\/i> last night. Good show. I thought it was a great action movie, but I was somewhat disappointed on a philosophical level, though I suppose it would have been hard not to be given the way my expectations (and I imagine those of most every other reasonably internet-savvy Matrix fan) were raised with all the theories and expostulating flying back and forth over the months since Reloaded<\/i>. But the trilogy concludes in logical fashion, in the only way it could have happened. I just wish the action element of the film hadn’t overshadowed the symbolic elements as much as it did. I did feel this way after seeing the second movie, though, so I hope after another viewing the details that underline the theme will be more apparent. I think they will. Warning: Compared to Reloaded<\/i>, there’s less sex, and more violence. A lot more. And less cool techno music, slightly disappointing.<\/p>\n
My finger is healing rapidly. Thanks for your prayers. I worked on the car for a good couple of hours yesterday evening, with a bandage on my pinky to remind myself that it was injured, and my finger actually felt better afterwards than it did before; quite miraculous. If all goes well, provided it doesn’t rain, I should have the engine out tonight, step one of the swap. It’s actually the easy step, but I’ll deal with the others as they come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
