Yeah it did suck last year. The first one was kind of good cause Ethan Embry was in it, but the rest were cheesy.

I'll get drunk at watch it tonight cause it's in HD.

That Homecoming episode was the worst piece of shit I've ever seen on pay cable.  It's Masters of HORROR, Joe Dante, not Masters of fucking Crossfire.

The unaired Miike 'Imprint' one was the worst from last year.  The whole season was hit or miss, but I did enjoy some of them.  My favorite was Lucky McKee's with the hot, little dykes!  I love May!

I used to like May before everybody enjoyed May and started making these crazy interpretations of the film tht ultimately ruined it for me.  I hate when people read too much into something.  It's a good film, but like The Matrix (which does not require a class in Philosophy to "truly understand), it's just a fucking film.

The Matrix is a watered-down Reader's Digest sci-fi summary of Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle"  The movie is hardly groundbreaking, beyond that style that has been overdone to death now.

May is a cute Frankenstein tale. What are people writing essays about?

Well, I've read a few people talk about how it is this huge, complex tale on the human psyche which gets to the point of complete ridiculousness.  And, you know as well as I do (living around here), that the film school snobs can create an elaborate analysis of a film that doesn't require much more than this - "a cute Frankenstein tale". 

I mean, I once saw a former acquaintance and film school grad walk out of our apartment in rage when one of my roommates did not herald it as "the greatest achievement in the horror genre, which completely re-writes the rules and kicks Mary Shelley to the curb" (that's what th acquaintance called it).

Fuck, it's a movie.

The Matrix also "borrows" heavily from Grant Morrison's Invisibles comics series.  The Wachowskis are big comics fans - even have their own stake in an independent comics company.

May was cool.  It was more of an erotica film for me.  I can't believe how much some people read into it though.

I always thought May was a cool person turned crazy by a fucked up world.  Poor May.  :(
