Saw the Matrix last night with Lynn, Aneesah (the wonderful), and Joi(ful) at Hoyts Potomac Yard. It was interesting…I didn’t walk away with the wow feeling that I had in the first one, but the concepts introduced were still pretty dope. The special effects were of course ridiculous. But things that really made me proud of the first Matrix were expounded upon even more this time around. The fact that black people play a prominent role, and are leaders makes me happy. Watching the Jetsons and the Flintstones, there was but one black person in the entire cartoon…powerful subliminal message there. They (the Waichowski brothers: writer’s/directors/executive producers) further pushed the image of diversity by adding more Asians, and putting some latinos in the mix as well. Watching Lord of the Rings, there ain't been a black person yet. I look for shit like that.
Some things I noticed:
The guy that played Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II was in the Matrix.
Nona Gaye (Marvin Gaye’s daughter…she was in Ali as one of his wives) is fine in whatever role she plays.
Actually, for those who haven’t seen it…I won’t give it away.
It was cool tho’…anticipatin’ the third joint, along with Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
Hey, Indiana Jones is finally coming out on DVD this November!!!! Yay!!

Have a lot to say…but can’t quite hold my thoughts together long enough to write ‘em out. Tired yet very alert…
PS- They are finally omin out with the Freddy VS Jason movie this August!!! It's about time! I've been waitin' for that joint for like ten years when they did Jason Goes to Hell in '93! I'm going for Freddy in this one.
