Matrix (Again)
Posted by Stuart at 11:41 PM on May 18, 2003I can't believe I've done it, but I have now seen Matrix twice in the same week. And I didn't even like it that much!
My good friend Nat has been a bit sick the past few days so after I spent the afternoon lounging at the gym pool I went by his apartment to visit. I convinced him to leave his apartment for the first time in a few days. We walked around a bit and eventually ended up at the Discovery Center movie theatre. As luck would have it, the only movie showing was Matrix, so I allowed myself to sit through it again.
The movie was actually a little better this time, but I still could have done without the rave/sex scene. Ugh. A lot of the special effects were still very fake and the dialogue was still a bit laborious. But there were also a lot of small details that I picked up this time around.
This is not the first time I have just shown up at the movie theatre and been disappointed with my choices. Apparently no one in Bangkok ever checks the newspaper or calls for show times. But I am very excited because one of my fellow teachers just gave me the URL to a website that supposedly has updated movie times for Thailand. Yay!
