Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening
Dante Alighieri writes "Box Office Mojo,
the Washington Post, E!, and others reports that The Matrix Reloaded opened with a record of $42.5 million in ticket sales."
I saw it yesterday and have a variety of opinions on it, but the short review is that it isn't the original, but it's pretty damn cool, and I'm first in line for Revolution.
Sorry, but when the price of a movie exceeds my hourly wage, minute for minute, it's not worth seeing.
Since I'm horribly underemployed (like most of our readers), this rules out most movies.
The only solution is to *rent* DVDs, burn them, and watch them at their "measly" resolution.
Were I not to pay to see the "hit" movies Hollywood and their bitches pitch at us continuously, I'd be able to afford an incredible television upon which I could watch DVDs in the comfort of my home.
The Matrix is just a juiced-up version of Plato's "The Cave". Unless something mind-altering happens, it remains nothing more.
