One of my favorite movie-going memories was during Revenge of the Sith during the scene where Anakin kills the younglings, like half the theater broke up laughing at the punctuated lightsaber shwooom which prompted some guy near the front row to scream "SHUT UP EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP" through his tears You know what, maybe I don't actually miss theaters

i miss theaters all the time. seriously thinking about taking the risk to see dune in a theater because of the screen but at the same time what's the point if there's no big crowd with a lot of energy? i can't believe i'm saying this but the last great movie experience i had was seeing endgame in a packed theater. even the dumbest poo poo became great because the crowd was hooting and hollering their asses off and that poo poo is infectious. the movie blows but a good crowd can make it great

reloaded and revolutions are both pretty bad. reloaded holds up better since its action scenes are better and it's easier to write set-up than resolution. unfortunately, as much as i love the colonel sanders guy at the end, that scene is just terrible screenwriting on every level: too much exposition, no visual interest at all, crosscutting between an action scene that we've already seen once, ridiculous vocabulary, etc. revolutions is one of the most anime movies ever made by westerners. unfortunately, a good chunk of the movie is spent in the boring real world, which the wachowskis never really fleshed out. it doesn't help that you're supposed to be rooting for a bunch of nobodies in zion that were never in any previous films

I hated the original Broly movie because I couldn't believe his origin was literally 'goes insane at one day old because he hears another baby crying nonstop'. The new one did it way better.

It's hosed up to think that the Ginyu force cameo in Broly means they're all in their sixties or older when they show up on namek

There's a lot of stuff that echoes scenes from the first movie but with much worse pacing. It's funny, when the Matrix came out the same year as Episode I it was hailed as the new Star Wars, and then Reloaded comes around and does a pretty good job capturing the spirit of the Star Wars prequels.

gently caress theaters and I can't wait for covid to kill them for good and all. Why the gently caress is everyone so loving eager to cram into a room with a bunch of other strangers who also had to take out mortgages to afford tickets to watch a movie you can't pause or rewind when some crinkledick shoves his face into a cellophane snack wrapper right in your ear while fifty babies spit in your mouth? The "energy" of a theater audience will never outweigh the endless laundry list of bullshit that theaters represent. Gosh I can't wait to pay $30 for a ticket and $15 for a tiny bag of popcorn and a drink. The theater experience feels like it was designed by Elon Musk, and theater weirdos are his bazingas. Edit: dollar theaters are loving awesome, however. Organic Lube User has issued a correction as of 10:47 on Sep 10, 2021 |

the Matrix sequels were pretty bad, but not gonna lie, I'm kinda hype for this one. it seems to follow the first one thematically and stylistically, so there's a chance it'll be good

I remember being like 12 and there being all this mystique around the first Matrix movie before it came out, and Kojima games hit that same level for me even as a guy in his 30s. The early Death Stranding trailers hit on the same level of those early Matrix trailers where all I could think was "I have no idea what the gently caress this is but I can't wait to see it." It seems like this new movie is gonna do some fourth wall breaking because someone pointed out there's a shot where the first Matrix is playing on a projector screen and a bunch of guys with guns burst through it. If this is as insane as that Path of Neo game that's good enough for me.

Darth Vader was C-3PO's dad AND had a girlfriend twice his age AND was a successful race car driver before going back to school to get his degree You don't get that in Return of the Jedi or the 1997 remaster Man Musk has issued a correction as of 16:22 on Sep 10, 2021 |

Feature-length movies are dying, episodic content released weekly is better for recurring revenue.

in the Matrix 4 Neo has forgotten the first trilogy because he can no longer log out of the matrix because landlines don't exist anymore

Hot take: Prequels are bad, but not interesting bad. It just has "Star Wars" in the title, and neckbeards can't talk about anything else.

the prequels are good, the sequels are bad. it just ain't the same with lucas' disdain for the fans of his own creation. the worst thing you can do for any fictional property is either give it to the fans or kevin j anderson
