I'm stepping through the door, and I'm floating in a most peculiar way
For work related reasons that I don't want to go into, I'm just absolutely fucking fried.
Other things that make me want to flip tables:
- The Usual Suspects have their drawers in a twist about Matrix: Resurrections and so much of it translates to transphobic dog whistling, mouth-breathing misogynistic bigoted little asswipes slobbering "GET WOKE GO BROKE" through their neckbeards. This is the world's smallest violin playing for all the chuds who are butthurt that their desired White Male Cishet Hot Topic Bro self insert power fantasy turned out to be a diverse queer trans intersectional narrative about the power of love overcoming everything else. If that doesn't float their boat, they can go wack off to the hundreds of other White Male Cishet Self-Insert power fantasies that already exist, and just let us have the Matrix, ok?
I guarandamntee you that if WB were to go ahead and make their own Matrix sequels with JJ Abrams or someone else, the same folks would be throwing their toys out of the pram over those too. I think it's the only way some so-called fans know how to engage anymore. See also: the Star Wars franchise.
- Lindsay Ellis is quitting YouTube because of Twitter trolls who took a massive oversimplification she made comparing Raya to Avatar: The Last Airbender and blew it all out of proportion. All of her stuff is insightful and entertaining, but some of it is downright invaluable. I must have recommended that video about the fascist aesthetic of the First Order from the Star Wars sequels to dozens of people, for example, due to her breakdown of Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism essay. Oh well. You win, Twitter Trolls:
and this is why we can't have nice things.
- Fucking Omicron. For the second year in a row I am going to skip my local peer group's New Year's Eve John Wick binge watching party because of this stupid neverending pandemic.
I mean I can binge watch John Wick from here, and I havea new Matrice to rewatch over and over again to get screencaps of a ton of other things I could watch. But I miss being able to do so with my friends.
I think I'm going back into lockdown mode for a while.
Cool things:
I've already seen Matrix: Resurrections four times and counting. And one of the reasons I love it so much is that it feels so much like the Matrix Agents RP that I was a part of back of Livejournal before the Matrix Cult infiltrated and imploded it. I don't want to drop any spoilers for anyone who still plans on watching it, but I found myself wishing I could discuss it with so many people whom I have long since fallen out of contact with, and it makes it kind of bittersweet.
Also:
For some weird reason, Smith's character arc in Resurrections feels like a vindication in a way I can't really describe.
I feel so blessed and fortunate that we got another Matrix movie at all, and for it to be what it is feels so much more awesome.
-My immediate family has escaped the rona thus far and are all triple vaxxed at this point.
-I got some cool loot for Christmas.
Happy New Year, everyone. Be safe out there. Get you some KN95s if you can.
