Saw the Matrix 2 last night with the merry group of black clad gothy types. I had a small amount of trepidation before watching it as I heard some dubious things here and there but also had a lot of good things from more reliable sources; it was spankingly good however some nice ideas developing the world, and a hint at one stage to the Diamond Age perhaps. Annoying long end credits, or as I put it "A significant portion of the planets population assisted in making this film." but the mini preview of the third one looked quite good, if exceedingly short.
Addendum; My geek moment for the film came in the car chase down the motorway when I identified the SMG being used, half by it's looks and half by the sound... oh dear.
Highlight for the day however was on the drive home. Flashing lights behind me, so I pulled to the side to let the police car past, who promptly got flashed by a speed camera. Har har.

Rage against the machine seem capable of playing only one song
RATM do indeed only do one song ever. but they do do it rather well and they do actually mean what they say.

oh, and rumour has it that once the thrid one is out they will be realesing a 10 disc dvd/cd pack off the whole trilogy + tunes + stuff. will be pricey (and may include assorted bookage) but if they do actually bring it out it will be rather spiffy.

They'll likely do this for LotR after part 3 comes out, well eventually anyway - you'll probably need a whole shelf for it.

Need to be a very sturdy shelf, to support the weight of all that crushing dialogue :-)
