woah.

okay, i gotta say it — SNL’s Tina Fey is one of the sexiest women out there. raaawr…

matrix reloaded… i shouldn’t have had set my hopes up so high when i came in to see it. it’s not a total suckfest, but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t disappointed. i thought the Zion rave scene was unnecessary, or at the very least, could have been shortened considerably. Morpheus might as well have just ended his speech with “we will defeat the machines… with the power of techno!!!” [boom*tz*boom*tz*boom]. methinks it was left in to help sell the soundtrack. if that’s the case, nothing really stood out. song winner: Propellerheads’ Spybreak from Matrix 1. some of the dialog was downright laughable. i’m paraphasing here but one line was “some things change. some things don’t.” wtf was that? cheesy dialog winner: Neo’s “i know kung fu” from M1. even the fight scenes were a letdown. the wire work was kinda cool, but doesn’t hold a candle to what i saw in Iron Monkey (or the M1 for that matter), which is probably why i didn’t think much of the fight scenes. fight scene winner: neo vs. agent smith subway fight from M1. pwn3d. even Morpheus was a let down. in M2 he came off as the crazy guy who never mows his lawn (if he had a lawn to mow in Zion). yeah, yeah, Neo is The One. we get it. winner: uber-cool Morpheus from M1. despite my complaints, i did think M2 as a whole was a decent movie. i loved the fact that they did some research and used a real exploit during Trinity’s hacking scene — she used Nmap to to find a vulnerable SSH server. this made headlines on most of the geek sites, so i made sure to look for it when the scene came. one of my movie peeves is when they show “hackers” using a fancy cool 3D interface with rotating whiz-bangs to break into systems. glad they kept it real with M2. kudos.

have i already said that Tina Fey is damn sexy? oh i guess i already have. yum…
