Sheer Geekery: Man Boys in Love With Toys

Thank GOD for this critic who tells it like it is, expressing much warranted incredulity at all the geek ass man boys who love and gush over the Matrix films are thinnk they're so cool and the best thing since lame-o Star Wars, as if it were something worth taking seriously.

"...the broader appeal of this movie -- how it seems to take perfectly respectable adults, people who couldn't otherwise tell the difference between a Cerebro machine and a Death Star, and turns them into gushing adolescents -- that part I just don't get."
-Christopher Kelly, Star Telegram, from his review entitled Whoa.

Moi non plus, dude. Whoa. Nothing wrong with the Matrix - it's an action film, kind of a western hybrid of the Kung Fu fight fests. But what's troublesome is the seriousness, solemnity and gushing wide eyed love with which grown men embrace such techno-pap. Grown man boys onan-ing about toys.
