less charming and more strange than your average blog

I guess I should tell you that there are Matrix spoilers in here
My mother's obsession with The Matrix reached unprecedented proportions tonight when we went out to see The Matrix Revolutions. Her head almost exploded with sheer amazement at it all. She can't get enough of the whole series, even though she has to sit us down afterward so we can explain most of it to her. When we do, she gets excited all over and insists on seeing them again.
My mother has this hilarious way of being simultaneously captivated by the depth and spectacle of The Matrix and concerned with smaller-scale logistics.
Mom: So the actress who used to be the Oracle died?
Me: Yeah. Of diabetes.
Mom: Diabetes! Oh my god. It must be all those damn cookies she eats.
Then there's the way she cried rivers when Trinity died in Revolutions, but also observed afterwards, "She talked a lot for a person impaled in ten places." She applies the standards of reality in such funny ways. "And her nose is so pointy," she added skeptically. "Why would Neo like her?" She'll buy everything else in the movie, but not that. Hee!
