Reality Remixed: Like Disco Lemonade
What better place than here?
What better time than now?

Okay, so yes, I know The Matrix Revolutions supposedly sucked worse than my vacuum cleaner. Don't bother commenting here to tell me that. I've heard the opinions, I've read the reviews. I'm still going to see it at some point. Why? Because the original Matrix is my all-time favorite film, and while I'm disappointed that such a sucky product would be attached to that and try to carry on its legacy, it still is a part of the Matrix legacy, and I have to see how the story ends. And I probably will see it on the big screen, since it's just not the same on the small. But I'll wait until the theatres aren't as packed. I stayed as far away from that Jessica Lynch made-for-TV movie as I could. Even the commercials for it on the radio sounded bad ("she ended up taking a wrong turn into history" -- puh-leeze!), but I was most turned off by the fact that, according to Jessica herself, they distorted the facts and even made up some things when they filmed it -- and she didn't even know they were filming her rescue for TV, she thought they were filming it for the government's records. Jessica claims that when she was captured by the Iraqis, she didn't go out in a "blaze of glory," taking out enemy soldiers by the truckload like Rambo as she was portrayed; she says her gun jammed and she didn't even fire a single shot, and she also says that when they captured her, she was on her knees praying. Jessica's pretty pissed that the government used her as a propaganda tool, and I am too. I have enough problems trying to understand why the government is distorting facts in the news, why do they need to mess with my prime-time TV too?
