I have no memory of the third matrix but I think the video game was canon and necessary to understand the plot. what I’m saying is you need to play that too and report back

They killed off Morpheus in the game. You gotta wonder who the hell he pissed off to get killed off in a video game cutscene and then not invited back for #4.

mini-review: wrath of man (2021) dir. guy ritchie one of those movies whose references to previous entries in the genre (heat and especially to live and die in la - the vincent thomas bridge shows up repeatedly in homage to the latter film) mostly serve to to make the movie worse for the comparison. pretty leaden by-the-book heist/revenge neo-noir set in contemporary los angeles, full of characters you never care about and twists that arent that interesting. the timeline is fractured and jumps back and forth, but mostly to try and cover up that the plot isnt that interesting. statham spends most of the film glowering and not showing off his physicality or his charm, which is a waste there are a couple of nice shots and a few good gags (like the bad guys final escape vehicle which is chosen for its nondescript ubiquity, although that joke was done better in la la land) but on the whole id give it a fairly mediocre c- see it only if you are really dedicated to watching all of stathams and/or ritchies filmography. otherwise, watch heat or to live in die in la (or hell, la la land) instead faint praise: it was better than revolver

guy ritchie makes both really good and really bad movies [or Sherlock Holmes which is both] but it’s usually a good choice to watch lock stock or snatch

Kenny Logins posted:i was thinking it's an insurability issue but that doesn't really hold up considering his other projects including the johns wick. his scheduling is busy but not that busy. maybe he is just tired of the matrix and doesn't want to do it for the money they were offering. apparently that's why weaving stopped doing avengers stuff- not enough fliff for the trouble they didn’t offer him any money, they never even asked him to be in it. seems like they took the MMO plot point as canon. you see him in flashbacks though

back in the 90s europe got all the movies 6 months later than the us. my dad was a av gear junkie and bought a lot of grey import dvds, among them the matrix. i went into it completely blind, thinking it was some kind of b-level hacking thriller since those were in vogue back then, and well, lol. that was my matrix story, thanks for listening.

lol I just copped a new docu about the making of the old 1981 EXCALIBUR movie, so I thought I'd see what else I have saved under the 'Documentary' category. That's rather more than I was expecting  (I think theres a few incorrect tags picked up there, I'll have to do a little housecleaning)

It's fine, but it's pretty boring. I liked the first act, but it started to fall apart when Neo woke up, and by the time they were planning to go get Trinity I was fully checked out. Also Niobe's old age makeup and acting were bad.

My Matrix experience was catching the second half of it when I was at my grandma's and our whole family was over. I was maybe 11? I had zero context other than there was a world where these guys were superheroes? And a world where they weren't? But they were connected? My mind filled in all the blanks and I loving loved it. Then I rented the VHS and was even more blown away by the full thing. Then I bought the VHS and watched it so many times that my VCR ended up destroying it. Not sure that I've watched it all the way through since then. I've only watched the first 1.5 hours of m4trix and I really like it. Curious where it ends up. I don't think it's for everyone but that's fine. I don't think that was the intent.
