The best part of the Matrix is at the very end, when Neo lifts the receiver on a random payphone and just belts out this whole speech to the Communist Gangster Computer God about how, “yeah, we’re gonna gently caress you up. You’re gonna get hosed, Computer God. You better watch your fucken back.” And it’s like mate, there’s nobody there. You’re talking to a dial tone but Rage kicks in on the soundtrack and Neo’s internal monologue just goes HOOAGH CALM LIKE A BOMB as he transforms into an airplane. So, I’m saying The Matrix: top three libertarian movie.

I’m 20 minutes into Bohemian Rhapsody and it feels like a checklist of Important Queen Moments instead of a story. Does it get better?

It feels that way right up until near the end of the movie, but then the last line turns the whole thing on its head and basically redeems the entire movie, and you realise they were going somewhere with it all along. You've got to watch it to the end. But don't skip to the last scene, that'll ruin it.

We will get like 30 minutes into a film and they will say this suck and tune out. I’m just like dude it’s a 2 hour movie! Yeah, don’t even get me going on TV Series...

I think Dickeye's reading of the matrix is valid and compelling but I still don't think it's a very good movie, mostly because I think the action sequences are really bad when you get past the bullet time stuff. The lobby gunfight fuckin sucks rear end, so does the Neo/Morpheus fight. The end is cool, though long-ass nips Diane fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Feb 20, 2019 |

The Neo/Morpheus fight is maybe ok because it at least has some character to it but I will stand by that lobby sequence being insanely bad

What gets me about the lobby shootout is the sheer carnage, all the physical dust and title exploding everywhere is something special, and you don’t get that many other places, especially in the era of $250 million blockbusters where people just shoot lasers at each other.

I watched the Matrix last night and the thing that surprised me a bit was Neo shooting the guards in cold blood at the start of the lobby shootout. Seemed like something you wouldn’t see now, and I’m surprised they got away with it so close to Columbine.

I think K Waste is 1000% right about the Matrix (there’s a reason r/theredpill is about waking up to the hidden reality that...women are evil).

Yeah there's a very good Wii/Gamecube Emulator called Dolphin, the guys making it are insanely devoted and have made it run very well, EXCEPT they can't get the Rogue Squadron games to work on it because Factor 5 did some crazy poo poo with the hardware that they just can't emulate.

I love GoF more than is healthy, but Rage is pretty far down the list of bands that I would compare as inferior to GoF. Edit: unless you are focusing more on the bands politics and less on their sound. To which I say I still have no idea why GoF lives for a rare essence but I live to shake my rear end to that track all day every day.

Scalding hot take: the only good action scenes in The Matrix is Cipher's betrayal and Neo v Agent Smith (part 1 and 2). The lobby scene and neo Morpheus suck rear end (killing security guards in cold blood is v good tho).
