look who's reading Pynchon...

[jd]

Yeah, I liked Johnny Mnemonic quite a bit as well...  It was a little
cheesy, but I happen to be a fan of both Gibson and Rollins so perhaps
I'm a little biased.  I didn't even realize Rollins was in the movie
til he came on screen... so bad ass.

I would definitely see a play with Keanu in it but I can't promise I
won't laugh and shout quotes from Bill and Ted the whole time.  Very
cool that he's a Pynchon fan.

Matrix I had the requisite paranoia for a P-fan, but 2 and 3 I felt fell short in that dept and contented themselves with excessive ultra-violence - though because of listening to negative buzz, I didn't really give them much attention.  In fact I can't even remember did the good guys win, or in fact much of what happened at all...
