I saw it last night. I watched Matrix Revolutions. I liked it and am looking forward to the trilogy being released on DVD because I can guarantee that I will buy it. All I’ve heard about the movie is bitching so far. Quit bitching, that’s my job. Like I said I liked it, and for the most part I got it. I wouldn’t say what I wanted to happen in the movie happened, but its not like I got pissed about it or anything. I will admit that at the end of the movie I had some thoughts in my head that I still am wondering about today. The Matrix is a huge franchise, almost like my generations Star Trek – pop culture wise. This puts Keanu Reeves in a pretty high position, which got me to thinking about something. I wonder how Alex Winter feels about all this. Do you know who Alex is? Way back in the old days there was a movie called Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. It was an OK movie which had these two kids going back in time in a phone booth. They were Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves). Now as you know, Keanu’s career has gone this far, hell he’s Neo in The Matrix Trilogy. Alex on the other hand has disappeared, perhaps working the drive up window at Arby’s talking to the Oven Mitt wondering why it doesn’t talk back like in the commercials. I’ve always wondered what happens to these people, wondering if Alex watches the Matrix and whenever Keanu does something cool if he goes “Excellent Ted” and does that air guitar motion, then cry himself to sleep. These are the kind of things I think about when I’m taking a shit and the light bulb in the bathroom burns out.
On a more positive note, I did finish my 3rd Bass page Friday. I went to Eau Claire Friday afternoon and visited some friends and saw the new Matrix as I’m sure you’ve figured out if you made it this far. Tonight I’m just lounging and thinking about getting some much needed sleep for my next task. Fishing. The wonder pond has roughly an inch of ice on it and I need to break that sun of a bitch open tomorrow and retrieve the living fish. I can’t wait for that shit.
