I thought about my actions before I clicked "POST"

and decided that there are no such things as curses, jinxes, or anything greater than a 0% chance that the Brewers or Cubs players are reading my BCB posts, on their edge of their seats, waiting to see what I say next.

For the record

I do believe in a boy with magical wizardry abilities, flying brooms, and Horcruxes. For what it’s worth.

Really?

The Matrix recycles a lot of pretty common sci-fi tropes (not that that’s a bad thing!) Dark City did a much more thoughtful presentation of the basic idea. Great, great movie.

How the HELL did I know you would mention DC

I’m so die-hard Matrix Trilogy, it dawned on me I had not see DC. Bought it bout 2 weeks ago, haven’t watched it yet.

I don't know.

Maybe it’s my copy of the Star Trek: Next Generation Technical Manual. Or the fact that I own all five seasons of Babylon 5 on DVD. Probably something along those lines.

Dark City was awsome...and it had Jennifer Connelly in it too...

But The Matrix was groundbreaking in its own way.

Mostly for how it looked.

The story was really old hat. Which, recycled sci-fi tropes are still awesome. But still.

i think part of my problem w/ matrix

was that the trippy camera stuff made me ill and then i just spaced out.

And what does it have to do with Kyle Orton?

Just to see if Orton is:

(2) Drinking Beam during the game

I can’t wait to find out the results.
