====================Cappy’s Random Rant
====================
Tales from the Cap! I figured I might as well type up my real-life adventures before, like all the geniuses before me, I’m struck with Alzheimer’s and left only to think that American Idol is NOT karaoke. No. NOOO!!
Remember the series ‘Unsolved Mysteries’? It was a show narrated by Robert Stack about stories that were…well, you know. The opening music always freaked me out. Anyway, most of the stories involved reenactments of events. Mind you, this is Jason’s ten-year-old brain processing this stuff. One of the stories involved a runaway case, and the narrator calmly said “The young boy walked out the door, never to return again.” In all seriousness, I complained to my grandparents “Why doesn’t the camera guy stop the boy if they know he’s running away?”
They didn’t answer. Probably convinced they misheard me because nobody could say anything that retarded. Hey, at that age it’s pretty clever to know the camera guy was contributing to the delinquency of a minor!

Cappy’s Rockin’ Rendition
====================
Oh snap, I’m totally a hardcore nonconformist by stating I didn’t care for the Matrix trilogy. I’m literally fighting the system, you sheeple! Actually, the first movie was interesting, the second movie was fine, and the third movie had me turning over the DVD box in shock “Ebert thought the last movie was the best cinematic experience of his entire career? Never shall I trust his cholesterol-laden opinions.” Seriously, the final debate between Neo and the Father Brain:
FB: LIEK OMG U R SOOO DED!!!!!1
Neo: Would you stop your decades-old blind psychotic slaughter rage if I erased the Smith Virus…and gave you a hug?
FB: LOL U ISH TEH KEWLIEZ!!!!ELEVENTY!!
THAT’S what was ticking the machines off; they couldn't run a Norton scan by themselves?
Technology sucks.
Instead of making products smaller, I wish they’d make them more reliable. I’ve had videogame cartridges die, headphones sputter…but we ALL have a television in the closet with a turn dial nob from the 70’s that still works like the day it was assembled. Lo my children, that is the true conspiracy of the machines: they shall devolve into a box of wires and complete suck, forcing you to spend money every week just to define it as functioning.
Whenever technology breaks down, whether it be a PowerPoint presentation crapping out on a presenter or the Internet abruptly shutting off, I joke that that’s why the Matrix could never happen. If the machines ever decided to rebel, they’d last a good week before they caught a virus or hit a bug and crash. So, my Matrix fans and Matrix haters, hope you enjoy the sad, logical conclusion to the short-lived uprising. Try making that into a three parter!
Misc:
The good thing that came from the Matrix is the very cool Animatrix movie…much more satisfying than the third installment.
The spider-esque Sentinels were pretty neat. In fact, anything that has ever been named ‘sentinel’ in a series comes out sweet. I’d have been just as content if Father Brain looked like a giant pimped-out Sentinel rather than Zordon from Power Rangers. Although…if a dozen Neos and a dozen Smiths connected and dueled each other in a Megazord death match…the two hour blahfest would have easily been worth it (Smithy Sword Attack!!).

Finally... someone who thought of the same thing as me about the Matrix. Everyone keeps telling me I should watch it, but this is the reason I refuse to. It's because despite how disturbing it is in how machines took over, it can never happen simply because computers crash, burn out and need energy. Even Terminator seems scarier to me because machines like robots can actually kill people. I'm not saying Terminator's any more realistic. I'm just saying that Matrix seemed to have this very logical flaw to me and I'm surprised so many people never caught it.

oh my god!
Thank you for saving the world.
and to the real world stuff: why that wasnt retarded at all! how very cute and caring you were at such age already! Awww...
(it is really scary when you find someone in a series or the like, with whom you can identify only to witness that character die or vanish or both.)

Im glad you mentioned the animatrixs because everyone ignores that. Its one of the most imaginative things ive seen in a while when it comes to animations and everyone just overlooks it like its a pile of dung next to a brick of gold.

First one: EYE CANDY
Second one: ...THE EYE CANDY IS NOT OVERRIDING THE SUCK
Third one: ...THE EYE CANDY IS JUST ENOUGH TO KINDA SORTA OFFSET THE SUCK...SORT OF.
I'm a visuals guy, basically, and the first one was a visual feast at the time, in the era before bullet time had to be in EVERYTHING. The second one was basically grasping at straws while a giant black horribly textured blob stuck to Neo's back and they had the gall to call it a trenchcoat. The third one was sorta decent, peaked at the Machine invasion of Zion, and then went downhill from there as Akira Toriyama evidently directed the final fightscene between Neo and Smith. Overall they should have quit while they were ahead and stopped at the first movie...says my artistic sense. My business sense wonders why they ever STOPPED making them because every damn one sold like a zillion tickets. Really, there was a time when I would bash a company for releasing a shoddy product just to cash it in, but now a days I realize that that's simply good business sense and I really can't blame them for doing it.

Yknow, the third Matrix film wasn't all that bad, in my opinion. Then again, the only expectations I had going into the film was that I'd see robots fighting other robots. And I did. So I was pleased.
But yeah, I can see how the people who went to see the movie expecting plot, or a coherent resolution, were a bit let down.

I never watched it, but I never will simply because the idea of computers taking over the world like this just makes no sense to me. I mean, as silly as it seems, there is the issue that computers can't run forever like Cappy pointed out and considering the turn technology is taking, it really is one of those apocolyptic movies which I really don't see as being likely in reality to the point of leaving me unimpressed.

Nonconformists unite!
…But by adhering to the idea of us banding together, we become a group of same-minded individuals…thus conforming.
RUN AWAY FROM EVERYONE!!
