Apparently, my pure, undistilled hatred for The Matrix Revolutions isn't shared by the populace at large. In fact, I've heard several state they preferred it over Reloaded. Well, whatever. I don't plan on ever watching either of them ever again, to tell you the truth, so the question of which was better is totally irrelevant to me. And yes, those who there on the night I watched The Matrix Reloaded (and lived through the most untimely power outage in the history of the universe) are probably thinking, "Hey, you liked Reloaded! What's this about never watching it again?" Well, I did watch it again, two days later, actually, and it did not hold up well on a repeat viewing. Certainly, some parts were still entertaining, but it was not as enjoyable as the first time. And since Revolutions renders pretty much all of Reloaded completely pointless, I feel no need to revisit it a third time. I did watch the original yesterday, though. It still rules.

Is the poll over there working for anybody else? Because it doesn't work for me.

I'm working on a big idea for a end-of-2003 review. Bigger than just a movie top ten list. Not sure what'll happen, but I'll keep you posted.

And I should probably tell you this, though I'm not proud. I told myself a long time ago that I would never go back, that I was through with it, but the old habit cropped up again today.

I'm a Cubs fan again.

It came as a shock to me, too. Especially considering that it's November and nobody gives a fuck about baseball right now. But I heard a rumor today that the Cubs are working a trade to get Alex Rodriguez, and I thought, "Yes!" and I realized I couldn't deny it anymore. I cheered for them in the playoffs, but I told myself it was because I wanted them to lose to the Red Sox. But now, I've seen the light.

I'm still an Astros fan, by the way. I'm not a traitor just because I like another team, too. And the Cubs are way down at the bottom of the list of teams I like, behind the Astros, the Dodgers, and the Red Sox. So no need to panic, okay? (And yes, I'm talking to you. You know who you are.)

Why should anyone?
