Okay, to add insult to injury someone has put up a Matrix ticket for sale on ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I don't have Paypal!!! I know froggie from CK wanted to go to this, but seeing as I'm not registered at CK yet, I can't tell her!

Here is the link. It ends in 21 hours. If anyone knows froggie they can tell her or if any other Keanu fan would like to bid on this, be my guest....

http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-MATRIX-KEANU-REEVE...id=p3286.c0.m14

There is also a ticket on eBay for Steve Martin presenting the Jerk. Just thought I'd throw that out there!

edit: Oh snap! I just looked and it's for *2* tickets to the Matrix!!! If anyone wins these and needs another person to go with, I'll more than pay my fair share for what you paid-within reason of course!! (I live in San Diego, so it's only about a 2 hour drive to L.A.) Does it sound like I'm begging?? LOL

edit x2: well boo! The bid is up to $153.00 now, as opposed to the first bid of $10.99. And mercy posted at the IMDB board an article about how it seems AFI sold tickets to it's members first and was basically sold out before tickets went on sale.

editx3: Well, the first ebay one ended at $232.00. And then if you have Paypal and want to use the Buy It Now feature you can buy AFI Matrix tickets for $250.00 on another eBay auction. These tickets sold for $25.00 a piece!! Grumble, grumble.... And now a few others have sprung up. How nice that people bought tickets, just so they could turn around and make a profit! I know, I know, it's the capitalist way, but it's just frustrating!!

Oh the humanity!

I got an e-mail today from AFI regarding the Arclight star movie night (since I signed up for the newsletter) and it said this...

A very limited supply of tickets is available for online purchase only:

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING presented by Sean Connery
AMERICAN BEAUTY presented by Annette Bening
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND presented by Jim Carrey
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY presented by Cameron Diaz
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS presented by Jodie Foster
TOOTSIE presented by Dustin Hoffman
WEST SIDE STORY presented by Rita Moreno
AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY presented by Mike Myers
GLORY presented by Denzel Washington

------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone see the Matrix on that list?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Grumble, grumble.....

Yeah, I kind of figured that was the case. But my hopes were so high!! And then I *read* the actual e-mail.

Oh well. I hope those who go have a wonderful time! No, really I do!

Humanity is just going off the charts right now! I don't know what the deal is with people?

And yes, I use too many emoticons!

Yeah, there's needs to be *something* to wake some people up!

Funnily enough, I'm reading the graphic novel Watchmen (I was curious since there's such big hype around the movie and it was on Times 100 best books) and in there it talks about how horrible humanity is and the end of the world coming etc. etc. etc... (I'm three quarters done, so I don't know how it ends yet?)

That movie comes out in 2009 I believe.

I'm spotting a trend.

EDIT: Only a couple more hours until The Matrix introduced by Keanu starts. Grumble, grumble.

And I finished Watchmen. In one of the panels (towards the end) it says The Day The Earth Stood Still (I guess it was playing at a movie theatre). *Very* coincidental.
Now, the trailer for Watchmen makes more sense though. (after having read the graphic novel)

Okay, if you're so inclined there are some descriptions of how wonderful, gorgeous and witty Keanu was at the ARclight last night! His speech was funny and he looked like a dream walking the red carpet. (At IMDB-KR board)

I'm not jealous. Nope, not me!

There's a short interview up on CK.

Jim Carrey in that interview reminds me a lot of my uncle. I am traumatised.

Yep, saw it. Keanu looked great!

Sorry about the trauma Anakin!

I love your CK quote btw-"I'm not wasting time at CK, my body is!"

I'd tell you you should be a writer, but I already know you're pursuing that!

Just got one magazine rejection though. And accepted by another, but that one doesn't pay, whereas the first one gives US10cents a word...
