Hello World!

Reasons for me not to see The Matrix: Revolutions:

1) Terrible reviews. I mean, terrible reviews, not only by critics but by my friends. Now, being a critic, I tend never to trust them (heh) and my friends and I often have vastly different taste, but the level of vitriol is troubling. Besides, it's 2) supposedly very violent and 3) movie tickets are expensive. And 4) I just bought all the Return of the King photo books and The Two Towers extended edition comes out next week and I can probably survive happily on Lord of the Rings hype until December.

Reasons for me to see The Matrix: Revolutions:

1) Trinity. 2) It's the Wachowskis; can it really be that awful? 3) And if I need a trivial excuse, I'll probably get to see the trailers for both Return of the King and Troy. What to do, what to do, what to do.

Meanwhile, I have a pass to the area premiere of Master and Commander tonight. So my Enterprise review will be a day late as I indulge my affections for Russell Crowe, Peter Weir and sea epics!
