I finally saw The Matrix Reloaded tonight. I liked it as much as I thought I would, and I disliked it as much as I thought I would. But did I choose to dislike it, or did I like it because I chose to like it? I saw it on the IMAX screen. Laurence Fishburne’s pores were as big as my head. Carla Harryman is staying with us for the next week. (The LAB is producing one of her operas in September.) She and I agreed that we probably would have liked the movie better if Ray Harryhausen had created the special effects and the writers had ditched the silly narrative.
