Much like that other great Keanu Reeves vehicle, Bill and
Ted's Bogus Journey, The Matrix: Reloaded centers around
the hero's journey into the Underworld. Frazier, in The
Golden Bough, notes that it is a prophetess—in this case, the
Oracle—who sends the hero off on his journey, from where he
returns with special knowledge. And, of course, that's just what Neo
does, though it would have been a while lot more amusing if he'd had
Alex Winter along. (The Oracle probably isn't entirely benign, by
the way, even though she may not consciously intend any harm: She
is, after all, the one who sent Neo on the path to the Core.)

reloads THE MATRIX
A very interesting article on Matrix Reloaded; it even offers
a theory as to why Agent Smith was still so antagonistic towards Neo when,
from what was said in the film, there is no real reason for the animosity
(which was another problem I had with
the film).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
