Am I the only SF/Fantasy fan who didn't care for "The Matrix?"
After watching Alex Proyas's "Dark City" and David Cronenberg's "eXistenZ" (thematically similar, and neither of which pandered to the MTV generation), I confess I never had much use for "The Matrix." Whether my aversion be chalked to Reeves's detached air, Laurence Fishburne's need to e-nun-ci-ate every syllable as if he were quoting Scripture, or the disquieting lobby sequence, in which our "heroes" take it upon themselves to massacre a cavalcade of security guards, the movie just bugged the hell out of me.

It was so ubercool I wanted to vomit.
