I remember watching The Matrix Reloaded with a bunch of my classmates while skipping class and I told everyone that I read on THE INTERNET there was something after the credits. About minute 10 of credits later I got worried and they got antsy but thankfully I escaped ridicule for wasting everyone’s time when the teaser for #3 started. Later that same year I burned a lovely cam copy of the movie to a CD and played it with my dreamcast for a section of some presentation I had to give in my language arts class. It’s possible I recorded it to VHS first but I just remember the dreamcast being a key point in transferring/playing the media, and I wasnt above setting my dreamcast up at school for such a payoff.

TV Zombie posted:Can't finish it (up to S3, episode 3)but I really dislike Halt and Catch Fire's Joe MacMillan. He has that effect on a lot of people in his life. I liked him more at the end of the series than I did at the end of season 2, but I don't expect anyone to get AMC+ just to see his growth in the last 2 seasons.

The Matrix is a Terminator 2, Fury Road tier masterpiece that has a sense of danger that the sequels never really capture in the same way. Reloaded comes close in two scenes, those being the freeway chase, and the final confrontation with Trinity and the agent in the power plant. Revolutions doesn't really nail the same feelings imo but it does have that song Navras which is a goat tier

If I may rant a bit Joe feels like a snake oil salesman. Cardiff Electric goes down because of him wanting to innovate, and people get laid off because of decisions he's made and the vision he has. Based on his past and decisions he's made, his marriage fails. His drat benchmarks for Mutiny in order to give them the resources they need, is so frustrating because I feel like he's done it to make himself look better as he boasts about them without considering the strain it puts on the Mutiny crew. He even uses Gordon's antivirus program to...somehow build up a anti-virus firm? OFF OF ONE FLOPPY DISK because I can't imagine Joe writing code to save his life? Yet one demonstration gets him funding? Gordon has drug and mental issues, Cameron can act like a child at times but man Joe's issues suck so much. I dislike him so much.

Based on his past and decisions he's made, his marriage fails. You're absolutely right about all of this but I still can't bring myself to hate him. All of the main characters are in this balance of being intensely frustrating but still comprehensible in a very human way. Part of it is that (general plot stuff, nothing TV Zombie didn't cover) I don't see him as a snake oil salesman as much as I see him as ambitious to a fault. He's constantly going through this Icarus cycle where he comes into a place, sees how it could be better, tries to make that happen, succeeds just enough to make me think this time he'll reach where he wants to be, and then the wings melt and he falls to earth due to his self-sabotaging, tempestuous personality. Also he's hot I Before E fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Dec 14, 2021 |

I don’t like how the V For Vendetta movie turned an indictment of Thatcher era politics into a 9/11 analogy.

The Stroker Ace posted:I don’t like how the V For Vendetta movie turned an indictment of Thatcher era politics into a 9/11 analogy. Of all the parallels that could have been made with a V adaptation, equating the Thatcher and Bush administrations actually feels like a worthwhile angle in line with the general spirit of the original. I don't hate it in theory.

Neil Gaiman is a verified pervert, so I would naturally just assume any project he's on that isn't explicitly geared toward children is inappropriate for them at some point or another.

Imo 12 is young enough that you shouldn't give them American Gods but old enough that you can tell them about it, imply that it's "really out there, not sure you're ready for it", and let them take the initiative to get it at the local library.

Yeah, this is the way to do it. Comic books are also great at that age because you can sneak a lot of stuff in with "Oh it's just comics"
