I'm noticing they do this with a lot of trailers for animated movies these days regardless of the movie's content. Do a trailer that'll make the kids giggle and then do the movie whatever way you want.
Brainwashing.
I know, I know, I'm the only guy on earth who liked all the matrix movies.
They're a guilty pleasure of mine.
I'm probably going to wait and gauge reactions, because you're right.
You are not, sir.
I would so get drunk and watch the fuck out of that.
See, now that's one of my least favorite parts of the movie. It's not nearly as exciting, to me, as the car chases in Ronin.
I prefer to think of the Matrix trilogy as one really long movie. And if possible, watch the whole thing start to finish at once. It really shows that Reloaded and Revolutions's only true flaw was being only as good as the original, and not as much better than the first as the first was better than everything else in the 90s.The problem with the sequels of the Matrix is like the problem with the sequels to Dune: the first one was both a good action movie/scifi adventure and had some philosophical depth; the sequels sort of eroded the latter, explained things that would be better left unexplained, and thereby made the original less deep-seeming than before. This doesn't necessarily mean the Matrix sequels, Star Wars prequels or Dune sequels are bad books or movies on their own - they just didn't live up to expectations.
The Star Wars prequels, mainly the first one, really do suck, though, independently of anything else
I view Agent Smith as breaking free of control (turning in the earpiece that directed him) allowing him to roam/replicate and transform into the incarnation of an entity I deem "The Many," and the movie's climax hinges on the fact that it is impossible for one entity to simultaneously be the incarnation of "The One" and "The Many," hence his defeat was caused by his stubborn insistence on trying to integrate The One into his gestalt. An interesting safeguard, possibly built into the kernel of the Matrix itself to prevent rogue/runaway processes.
I think the IDEA of making a film about the SPE is a good one, but given that hollywood is hollywood, I expect it to be rife with inaccuracies.
When I first saw that, I thought it was going to be a mockumentary with someone else playing the part of Farley (like Man in the Moon). Then I saw they were serious about it. Legitimately serious.
Hah, I did a double take because at first I thought this was about Chris Farley, then I saw the steve jobs video that got posted after that.
...maybe...
If I ever got punched in the dick by an A-List celebrity, I would probably put it on a billboard.
