Ahh, Hwei! My reply to you is so long that I wanted to put it here rather than in the reply box and because, even after my long, emotional (and uplifting) weekend, I've still got movies on the brain. ;)

First thing though: I loathe this new keyboard. The keys are all stiff and annoying. I had this whole reply typed up, and one bad keystroke erased the entire thing. Now the keyboard must be bashed. But anyway. >_<

And oh did our Smith give the COOLEST reason for it, EVER.

He did, but he was still more compelling in the first one. The Matrix was the first movie I saw in the new movie theater in town, and I remember sitting there getting a shiver when Smith had Morpheus chained to the chair and he said the phrase, "I hate." A computer program hates? And you knew then that he had already lost the fight in that first one, because that emotion is a human failing, and Smith was no longer a perfect machine.

The entire battle between Neo and Smith reminded me of Dragonball.

Dude, I hadn't noticed until you said it! I've never seen an entire episode, but I've seen enough commercials to agree with you.

Tell you something else. I have to wonder if the storyline didn't get changed after the first one to give Smith a bigger role because he'd become such a popular character.

[*we have this argument that I can't parallel park because women have less spatial ability. it is true though that I can't parallel park.]


LMAO! Well damn, I always say the same thing! "I'm a woman! I'm not spatial!" ;)

And on that note, I've been reading an awful lot of reviews on movie groups saying, "OOooh, it was just PERFECT!!!!!111!!" and I want to slap those people. I mena, enjoy if it, of course, if you do enjoy it; hell, I had fun watching it, but to call it "perfect?" Hello! Dialogue! Suck! Cliche! If you can't hear the suckage of the dialogue, I'm afraid you have a tin ear and are hopeless. ;) *slapslap*

Thanks for the mana'o, Hwei!

Aloha! Another weekend of Hula, and talk story, seeing old Hula friends and meeting new ones, and getting up at 6 AM to dance for 5 hours until you feel like someone's unscrewed your bones from each other, then dance some more for fun at night, and you have to crawl into bed (at 2 AM) because your thighs are wobbly and your hips ache like the devil, then you do the whole thing again the next day with new dances. The Kumu Hula we had this time, Olana A'i, is this beautiful, sincere and sincerely sweet woman who looks like my Mom. And chant class and a kahiko Hula, and two 'Auanas, one of which is this beautiful song called "Lei Pikake" (which is nowhere near as cheesy as the title makes it sound) by Hapa, and the singer has such a clear, rich voice, and right before he starts singing (a capella at first,) you can hear him take a breath.

And, ouch. My hips hurt.

And I'm doing this again next weekend?!! Totally kahiko? Am I insane?!
