It just has "Star Wars" in the title, and neckbeards can't talk about anything else. it’s interesting in how far the execution diverges from the pitch. the elevator pitch for those movies sounds way better than they actually wound up being. also Duel of the Fates still rocks

The fight with Darth Maul was entertaining as gently caress and sometimes I imagine what it would have been like if the rest of the movie didnt suck rear end and there was real emotional weight going into it

So the Galactic Senate sent mediators to a conflict they had no capability or intention of solving or really doing anything about, and this gets Jar Jar Binks elected to that very same body as a political outsider. We're going to need an Episode 1.5.

wasn't scary at all. wrt its commentary on art criticism, it felt about as clumsy as Velvet Buzzsaw. overall i wouldn't say i was bored but it was a pretty long 90 minutes

i enjoyed candyman 2021 overall but I’m still thinking about how to feel wrt to the ending being Tony Todd riding in on a swarm of bees to do out of focus action movie poo poo to a bunch of cops, before looking directly into the camera and saying “look forward to the sequel”

what matrix content was there outside of the trilogy, game, and animatrix? it's a wonder that the universe didn't get mined to oblivion like star wars or MCU

don't forget path of neo and the matrix online also don't forget the bullet time parodies, which I'm pretty sure were required by WGA rules to be put into every single movie in Hollywood for three years

shrike82 posted:what matrix content was there outside of the trilogy, game, and animatrix? I remember there was one where aliens showed up and started hurling asteroids at earth and the machines had the brilliant plan of going all Last Starfighter and finding the best pilot in the matrix and sending him up there in the best spaceship they could build to nuke the aliens. He does but then realizes that of course the machines didn't build any way to get him home. So of course as he's running out of air in his cockpit he asks them to hook in back into the matrix one last time so he can say goodbye and they do because why not they're sentimental like that. And sure this begs the question of why he couldn't just pilot the spaceship remotely but hey it's a sad story written around getting to a specific ending. Probably should have adapted some of these stories into a second Animatrix collection. EDIT: found it! https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Goliath http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cyberpunk/goliath.shtml Assepoester has issued a correction as of 02:07 on Sep 11, 2021 |

Horizon Burning posted:this looks bad but i can't really put my finger on the why I mean, as a big fan of The Matrix that trailer doesn't particularly come across as feeling much like the rest of the movies. Even if it's just because they were products of their time. I'm expecting another pretty bad soft reboot.

Echo Chamber posted:I can't wait for sequel discourse to reach the "they're bad, but in a very fascinating way" stage. the only interesting one is tlj because johnson clearly had a vision that conflicted with the studio's and the movie is the result of them taking whatever cut he handed them and hacking it into something that is half good and half piece of poo poo. its so rare that a movie of that size so clearly displays the effects of big studio meddling in such a messy fashion and they all become very funny when you read that they had no plan going in and were just making it up as they went along

Though I just realized, with the fact that he's supposedly living in an accelerated environment where a couple of hours is about 15 years, 1000ms latency would get translated into like 18 hours in the simulation.

Finished watching matrix:revolutions and I've concluded that movies a slog and if you want to watch a movie that tackles similar themes infinitely better you should watch mobile suit Gundam: Char's Counterattacki say swears online posted:I like how in '99 our collective reaction to Keanu getting cast as neo was "...really? him?" But he'd already been in speed and point break by that point both legendary action films in their own right
