Randarkman posted:Also if I remember correctly there's only one or two scenes that feature bullet time. Like most movies that introduced something which became heavily referenced and imitated in other movies the original usually used it sparingly and for effect rather than just because of a generally accepted fact that it's really cool. There are at least 4 Bullet time scenes*, more if you count scenes without bullets like the crane kick. There is the famous building top Neo bullet dodge. When Morphous gets shot in the leg. The subway fight. Neo finally becoming the One. *Paused or really slow and rotate around the action scenes. The scenes in Matrix works because they serve a function outside of looking cool.

Well, it's been a time since I watched it. So I'll chalk it up to that.

Okay, now I'm excited but first I gotta watch the pilot of Twin Peaks with a person who's never seen it before and who can only follow TV shows with great assistance despite being otherwise intelligent. Can't wait for Game of Thrones to come back!

Twin Peaks is awesome but you gotta go in with the idea that it's a slight parody of soap operas, while also being loving creepy and weird as poo poo. Jay is right, some of that poo poo is the scariest thing ever, and I saw this show first on Netflix waaaay after it came out. It came out a year before I was born, so I have no ties to it. But gently caress it gets incredibly dark.

I'd love to hear how dated it looks now that more TV shows have high production values and look more like movies than three-camera TV shows.

I rewatched it recently and it affected me a lot more now as an adult than it did when I watched it in the mid 90's on Bravo. Back then it was just, "oh cool, look at this weird poo poo" but I didn't really get it.

I'm watching it now for the first time and it's just random scenes of goofy people set to 50's lounge music. When does the alien death cult show up?

I don't see how anybody can complain about Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. He's absolutely perfect for the role, and he plays it just right. Neo is basically a blank slate, with curiosity and just enough anti-authoritarianism to get him into the plot. His journey over the movie is learning the reality of the world, the whole thing is Neo starting out as an empty vessel and becoming something new. It's not actually clear what he is, but it's clear that he is the catalyst of a great change. The entire concept of making a sequel to the Matrix was doomed from the start, because there's no real satisfactory answer to the question of what happens next. But seriously, The Matrix rips off The Invisibles so loving hard, like drat

heh, look at all these fools who haven't seen Twin Peaks. All I can say is Jay and Josh's review is spot-on, second season is loving atrocious but the last episode is one of the GOAT.

The worst part about the Matrix is that it overshadowed the far superior Dark City.

The kids DO have real guns. However all romance story and scenes are dropped because that would be creepy. Yeah, let's make sure to take all the creepy stuff out. *Ties lil Bond to a chair naked and beats his balls for awhile and practically gets off from it* oohhboy posted:There are at least 4 Bullet time scenes*, more if you count scenes without bullets like the crane kick. Pretty sure it was the first time bullet time was ever seen, and it was used sparingly enough to keep it awesome. It's a shame the sequel opened with like 20 minutes of nonstop slomo, ruining the effect forever.

If you were true vid-head like me you'd know it's first appearance was in Trancers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1EZCMA76d8 What's weird is it's possible to argue that's not the only thing from Trancers to end up in The Matrix. I have no friends.

I guess the real true thing you can about the Matrix is that the Wachowskis are hacks who kind of accidentally made a pretty good movie.

And right after that a crappy rave orgy in Zion that probably made the movie twice as bad as everything else.

The Matrix fell victim to that weird loving need to make things into trilogies. They could have done the entire "your revolt is just another method of control" thing in one movie, kept the cool poo poo like the fight on the stairs and the freeway scene and ended on a high note.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:They are rebooting the matrix. "The idea of adapting The Matrix as a television series was nixed in recent months. But Warner Bros. sees a model in what Disney and Lucasfilm have done with Star Wars, exploring the hidden corners of the universe with movies such as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story or the in-production young Han Solo film. Perhaps a young Morpheus movie could come out of the exploration, as an example." We really need an Endless Trash smilie. Who's got 30 bux? "Sources say there is potential interest in Michael B. Jordan to star," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKQiZVBtu4
