  I have declined the offer to sneak preview Gmail from Google. I have (finally) scanned some photos I took for a friend and posted them for him to download, even though I never got inspired to make a good poster for him.
Doh well. I watched the last Matrix movie because I was convinced I needed to finish the series even though I didn't like the second one. I realized you can see the point in writing the third one where they gave up and admitted they had no idea how to build on the coolness and originality of the first one. Revolutions was comical. I wonder if the Wachowski brothers watched the two part Animatrix episode, "The Second Rennaisance.
" That gave the first movie a good back-story that would have allowed for them to conceivably write decent sequels. So Matrix Revolutions was my first rental with my new VisArt membership. Now I feel like I need to make up for it by only renting Criterion DVDs or something. So I'm up for suggestions on good arthouse/independent/oddball movies anyone has seen.
