They should have held this belief after the first matrix movie because they only can blame themselves for chasing the money and making GBS threads out albino vampire twins or whatever and then punching you in the face with the Neo is Jesus thing over and over

The animatrix was good though

Didn't Red Bull just construct a giant zillion dollar factory for building their own F1 engines?

"The change has been made in part to ensure that RBP will still be a new participant when its own engine is introduced in 2026."

Turns out that's essentially exactly what this is.

Yeah, so it's basically a 4-year headstart on the new regs that come in 2026, so could well be a repeat of Mercedes HPP getting well ahead of the curve on the 2014 power units.

Meanwhile as reported on Wednesday former Honda F1 boss Masashi Yamamoto has left the manufacturer to set up his own consultancy in order to provide a bridge between Red Bull and Japan, further extending the continuity between the partners.

Watch RBR buy this company right before the start of the 2026 season.

You didn't like it when it just made an abrupt tonal change and just randomly became an Ocean's 11 style heist film?

My personal take is that the Wachowskis are in fact bad directors and somehow the stars just magically aligned and somehow the matrix became a good film

I did not, nor did I like it when the heist instantly failed and they instantly moved on to just doing a different thing

My personal take is that most directors are bad and need producers to rein them in and prevent them from making bad movies, and the only truly good directors are those who are given complete control and still make good movies. Also Speed Racer is the best Wachowski movie, not The Matrix.

The original Matrix film was good but I think it is fair to say, based on a recent Fox News interview and Reddit meltdown, that we're all a bit loving worn out from tolerating a very specific venn diagram.

I feel like I missed something because I have no idea what this post is about.

Also maybe the other wachowski was the good one and that was why the new matrix was bad (I haven't seen it though so maybe it's good)

And finally they should make F1 be speed racer

the original movie was limited by the technology and budget so the action scenes had to be simpler, which had the side effect of being paced better and easier to watch. when you cant just fill a movie with nonstop action you have to rely on things like "writing" and "pacing"

after it was a huge success and they were less limited, so they just crammed as much as they could into action scenes until you get unintelligible messes like neo fighting 500 badly animated smiths and fight sequences where so many people are fighting at once its impossible to follow

in other words wickas right about producers needing to rein in directors

Ditto, except I'll defend it, it's based on a stupid anime, it's a stupid live action anime. It's loving great for what it's supposed to be.

you've waited so long for such validation :unsmith:

my read on the RBR/Honda thing is the Honda board reversing course after seeing just how much press they were getting out of this whole F1 thing, and that's even without being able to truly maximize the home market because there hasn't been a race here in two years. They might have looked at the cost requirements they signed up on and realized they might as well put their name on it to benefit instead of letting Red Bull get everything.

ticktum already getting spicy in formula e :getin:

I was a bit unlucky because I got put in the middle of two rookies between Ticktum and Askew.

One of them was overly cautious which to me was the right approach, which was Oliver and good for him, he had a good race.

"And Dan, he just came where there was no [room], he shouldn't have been there and was overly aggressive and yeah, he ended my race."
