before Prometheus wasn't the "Space Jockey" just some skeleton in Aliens? No backstory, no lore, no "idea" whatsoever except a weird cool mysterious thing?

yes and it was better for it. prometheus and covenant would've been way better if they had no connection to alien and were just about an android going nuts and using the biotech of ancient astronauts.

i think in one of the comics the space jockeys are big elephant people. i kinda just assumed the space jockey and its rig were all merged together like some weird nightmare thing.

Yeah, it was not the (((NERDS))) who have ruined the mystery of the weird skeletal creature in Alien. It was Ridley Scott.

"Alright Jay, now we have to convince people you really enjoy having gay sex or they may suspect the marriage is a sham. That's why you need to watch all these gay pornos so you can convincingly pass off as a homosexual."
"Why are you doing this? How much money did you spend on all these gay porn DVDs? Why is Rain Man in here?"

Roger Ebert is such a hack, he finally gave Lynch a good review and what a coincidence there is a girl on girl sex scene in this movie.

At least he was honest about it

Roger Ebert posted:

[...]Betty and Rita have two lesbian love scenes so sexy you'd swear this was a 1970s movie, made when movie audiences liked sex. One of the scenes also contains the funniest example of pure logic in the history of sex scenes.

Somehow I've never seen the Matrix and I keep thinking I probably should because it's referenced so much in pop culture that it just seems like something a person who likes movies should know about, ya know? On the other hand, I know most of what happens in it through cultural osmosis at this point and it looks pretty dated.

So, RLMtards, help me out: does it hold up? Is it worth watching The Matrix in 2017? Is it Philosophy For Babies set to techno like I think?

Don't watch it it is really bad and you should count yourself lucky you never saw it

Imagine a third Bill & Ted movie about an alternate timeline where Ted had become an edgelord parody of himself. That's Neo. Keanu felt like a spectator sleepwalking through the whole thing until the end. Maybe that was the point of his character arc, he hadn't awakened his true potential yet, but it made him feel kind of tacked-on.

Other than that, Matrix 1 was ok, :siren:IT BROKE NEW GROUND:siren: in CGI filming effects and was pretty cool for the time.

Honestly, Neo being all "Keanu-y" works very well. I love his "whoa" after Morpheus does the jump.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I thought the Matrix was a pretty fun and forgettable action movie and was incredibly confused when nerds started acting like it was the most important thing ever and every single commercial, flash animation and animated gif in the world started ripping off the spin around camera thing and bullet time.

It's like if Broken Arrow became a cultural milestone.

I get mildly annoyed at people even calling them "xenomorphs". It was a throwaway line in Aliens, the entire point of which was to show the dumb company goons coming up with overly technical names for things to pretend they understood them.

I don't like or approve of this take.

This came full circle when Sega made all of Hudson's joke weapon names real things in Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Well poo poo. It's not like it's going to be as good as the first one, it will be modern endless trash except also making GBS threads on a funny old movie.

Even the second one was pretty meh. Except for the prop budget, which was hilarious. Apparently in the future everything is made of cheap foam and duct tape.
