I'm 21 and that made me feel old. Most of that was my childhood.

I learned this week that Celozzi Ettleson Chevrolet has been out of business for a decade.

I kinda miss that old America Online screen. The internet was new and exciting.

I tallied nearly $100 in winnings at weekly star trek trivia games on AOL throughout my high school career.

I LOVED the trivia games on AOL.

Thankfully a bit too young for a good portion of those to have meaning with me, but it's hard to believe things like the Matrix and American Pie were in the 90s.

Watching Matrix 2 and 3 makes it seem so long...not because of how long ago it was but because of how terrible those were.

In 2005 or so I was out west visiting a friend and we were going south on York and got to the intersection with Roosevelt. I saw the Roosevelt sign and that was the first thing that came to mind... but it wasn't there. Been wanting to see that place my whole damn life and it was gone. Booooo

It's so bandwagon to say the the second Matrix film was bad, but it really was a top tier action movie. It's just that the expectations were so high after the first one. They're not even really in the same genre. The first one is a more intellectual sci-fi where the second one could be lopped in with a Schwarzenegger movie.

 

Now, the third Matrix I can't defend. Those stupid robot/Mech warrior things were stupid in so many ways.

I liked the second one more the first time I saw it, but with repeated viewings the whole Smith/Neo sequences get on my nerve. The Architect scene was my favorite and still is, but everything else in that movie grates on me now.

As the board resident youngster.

 

Holy s*** that made me feel old.

That's interesting. Most people I've heard complain about those movies hate the Architect scene. The dialogue in there is just fantastic though. I just wish they had done better with Zion in general. It didn't seem to fit for me. Any of the scenes there weren't good enough to me, which is why the third one is indefensible.
