Goer: “What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge control characters in comments?”<\/p>\n

Distler<\/a>: “No, Evan. I am trying to tell you that when you’re ready… you won’t have to<\/a>.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whoa.<\/em><\/p>\n

As you can see, we1<\/a><\/sup> here at goer.org are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new Matrix<\/a> movie. I don’t particularly care about the alleged philosophical ruminations<\/a> of The Matrix, all of which have been examined at length by earlier philosophers and writers. At best we can say that The Matrix has tied up these concepts and presented them in an appealing package. Which is something, at least.<\/p>\n

Nope, I’m there for the action. I want to see Mr. Anderson wiping the floor with a hundred Mr. Smiths. I want to see Morpheus battling the Twins. Most of all, I want to see Trinity dealing out destruction while clad in black vinyl. Some might roll their eyes, thinking the black vinyl outfits to be hackneyed and cliched… faux cool. Hey, I’m just sayin’, I think Carrie-Anne Moss makes it work.<\/p>\n

Finally, I apologize for the new, temporary, Matrix-themed style sheet.2<\/a><\/sup> Unfortunately this site does not provide a style sheet switcher<\/a>, so I’m afraid that if you don’t like the new look, you’re going to just have to suffer for the next couple of weeks. Please don’t be angry with me. Instead only try to realize the truth: there is no style sheet. Then you’ll see that it is not the style sheet that changes, it is only yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/a>1. Meaning, of course, “me”.<\/small><\/p>\n

<\/a>2. If you don’t see any difference… then as Zeldman<\/a> likes to say, “Kindly reload.” <\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
