Definitely although Bill and Ted were most excellent.

That is only kind of true. I think the title of their one movie was misleading.

Great, there first movie was.  Their second outing was disappointing.

Good thing I've only seen most of the Excellent one.

Exactly.  It's probably Keanu Reeves' best performance.

Even counting The Matrix? The original one, I mean. The other two were just weird.

Definitely.  That Matrix is a really good movie, but it's because of cool effects, setting, and plot.  His performance was mediocre, and I think it would have been awesome if Will Smith hadn't turned down the role.

Even so... I'm not sure Keanu Reeve's acting is much different between The Matrix and the Bill and Ted movies... he's kind of a one trick pony.

Yes, but I think his tricked worked much better in a buddy road-trip through time 80s comedy than as a sci-fi chosen one of the virtual world.

Don't get me wrong, road trips through time are cool and all... but Keanu's acting is like a brick wall - completely deadpan. It suited the dystopian future vibe perfectly. Nobody's happy in a dystopian future.

Eh, you're not wrong about the emotional part, but he does a great job of being a loveable idiot as Ted and Neo comes off to me as being a dull idiot in some scenes.  It's weird that the Wachowskis were able to put together the Matrix with so little, but they butchered Cloud Atlas when the source material was so great.

Then what about Sense8? Have you seen that Wachowski production?

No, I have not seen Sense8 yet. That series is probably the thing I will watch next.

There have been mixed reviews for it.  I'm not confident in it after the disaster that was Jupiter Ascending.

Get watching it. It's quite good. A bit risqué at times, but it has an intriguing concept and a well-written plot. I really want a second season.

Netflix should renew it if it gets enough views.  Did it end on a cliffhanger?

Really difficult to answer that. It kind of did, but it kind of didn't? Like, I'd be okay if the ending they had for S1 was the ending of the show, but I also kind of want to know where things would go in the future because the Big Bad was still out there and there's so much more character development potential...

Looks like I'll have to watch it.  My list of things to read, watch, and play grows ever larger.

Right good problem to have, that is.

Sometimes but my time management skills are not fantastic, so I might spend time reading comics or watching anime or whatever when I should be doing something productive.

Even I have this problem. I'm sitting on a book of over 1600 pages that I haven't had the time to read... I've had this book since March. I also have a number of last season's US TV shows to watch, and I'm keeping up with half a dozen current season anime series. Plus work, and WoW raiding... it's a hard life.

Exactly right.  1600 pages!  What book is that?  I finished Infinite Jest recently which I think is the longest book I've ever read, and it wasn't even 1100 pages long.  (Granted that they were big compact pages with a small font.)

The book is the second in Brandon Sanderson's Lightbringer Chronicle series. The first was 1200 pages, a veritable brick of paperback writing genius. Personally I'm hoping that each book in the series gets progressively longer until the last book is like, 5000 pages or something. I could spend a year reading it and never get bored.

Don't you mean the Stormlight Archive?  I've read both Way of Kings and Words of Radiance as hardocvers and they're amazing epic fantasy!  In the end I might end up liking it more than Mistborn by him which I also loved.  I think you're getting it confused with the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks which is good, but I honestly feel is overrated.

Don't get me wrong, I own both series and love them equally. Well, okay, that's a lie. I definitely love Sanderson's works better. I'm definitely getting them confused though. Chalk it up to stress induced by pre-moving stuff.
