I plead not guilty

[Everything that has a beginning has an end]

I decided to follow the matrician concept of pretending that Matrix-III never happened; until this morning i was awoken with the rude shock that I had in "reality" spent two and a half hours and six bucks in the pretence of watching the concluding sequel to one of the greatest movies of all time.

After waking up from that rude shock, I was all set to trash matrix-III like a couple of my fellow-movie watchers have done, but then, being the forgiving soul that i am, i decided to cut the wachowski brothers some slack.

here is the plea bargain i want to offer on their behalf, since they wouldn't be available on or off screen to justify their horrendous movie themselves:

argument #1: the abstract:
after indulging in the "reality" and "virtuality" of the real and the virtual, they decided to let their viewers experience the feeling of waking up from that matrician dream......somewhat similar to what happened to me, so, believe me I understand it perfectly; if you wanna experience it, i am willing to get into a wire-entangled pod and try to pass on the same impulses to your brain, jus' so you can feel it for yourself; just make sure you come to me with a brain.

argument #2: the mundane:
keanu reeves has been threatening hollywood that he is going to quit movies because of his sick sister. the wachowskis tried to overcome the problem of an absent keanu reeves by "pretending" that he was "virtually" available on the sets for Matrix III but believe it or not, the Matrician concept pulled a fast one on them--- so they had to quit the idea and cook up a quick (read: meaningless) tale before their lead actor's dissappearing act.

argument #3: the obvious:
"I can only show you to the door. You have to walk through it" Morpheus.
gee, the movie meant a great deal, not their problem if you aint smart enough to figure it out, and they aren't going to show up to interpret it for you----they are too busy fighting the giant squids that escaped from machine city.


the defence rests.....




if you wanna put your money on argument 3 above, you need to get help: either go see a shrink pronto or refer:
