“Bitter, depressed man creates website…”

Why men should not marry

“What I’m saying is that human beings are nasty weak treacherous creatures that are for the most part totally untrustworthy. Experience is my basis for this statement, both mine and others who I know or who have written reliable histories. If you can find a woman to be your companion who is not treacherous, a deceitful little actress, a sly whore or a manipulative nag or a shrieking hag, then you are among the lucky few. Congratulations. I hope your luck continues to hold out.”

“It just wasn’t like the old days any more…”

Computer nostalgia from Scaryduck:

“When I was a lad, apart from having to live in a cardboard box in t’middle of t’motorway, working a twenty-five hour day at t’mill, I had me a BBC Micro. Thirty-two kilobytes. That is all.”

philosophical Matrix reviews

Having seen The Matrix Revolutions last week I’m still not sure what I make of it; another viewing is in order before I came start to make any real sense of it. Whatever the outcome it has certainly inspired some rather deep interpretations of what will be one of the biggest grossing films of this year.

Subverting the Mechanisms of Control: Baudrillard and The Matrix Trilogy

The Matrix Revolutions - Entertainment Marketing 101

(The other reviews on Metaphilm are well worth a read too.)
