gateslackerWell, I do believe this must be movie week for me and tonight I revisted a former obsession of mine, Neo.
I bought Revolutions several months ago and didn't actually take the time to watch it. In fact, I actually forgot that I had it and contemplated buying it when I realized I already had it. (Senility setting in?)The third movie just totally bummed me out when I saw it in the theater. I left thinking, "what was that?!?". All that to just reboot?!? Maintain the status quo?(which is how I saw it at the time)
However, this time around I actually enjoyed it and do believe that I actually "get it". The philosophical underpinnings of life, death, and rebirth really piqued my interest this time around, which I should have expected based on my previous experiences with these movies...picking up some new perspective each time I watched. Upon my initial viewing I believe I must have wanted the happy ending where the hero saves the day and gets the girl and they all live happily ever after and that just wasn't how it was going to be.
Now, any suggestions for my next movie? Anyone, anyone, Bueller?
Speaking of movies, how have you all seen Phantom when I just today saw an ad for its opening on January 21st? Advance screening? I have to admit to not having a clue what it is all about. I suppose I am lacking in culture...but we knew that already ;-)

As I was saying KING ARTHUR is quite the cool movie. I watched it at the theatre and then again last night. It was the director's cut but I couldn't see any difference from the theatrical release.
