movies

I haven't even seen the fourth one. Don't really see the need to.

However, it remains uncertain if Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, and Jada Pinkett Smith will return

DON'T! Tell a different story set in the universe. Preferably at a different time. The stories from the Animatrix could be explored further.

Why?

So my ex and I went to the theatres with the intention of having sex during a movie, and we picked out cabin in the woods.

We were the only people there, except for an older guy a couple rows ahead of us.

We started messing around in the beginning, but ended up stopping (kind of) and watching the whole thing. The whole premise was pretty cool, the old gods and shit.

But the matrix?

They should have stopped after the animatrix…

I just watched resurrection for the 2nd time, and holy fuck. The meta shit explaining they made the movie cause it was either them or wb is gonna do it was fuckin stupid. The whole love angle seemed SUPER stretched too…

I almost wonder if it would have been better without any of the original cast.

I also wanna know how much screen time was spent on flashbacks to previous movies.

I can’t wait to ignore abother steaming pile of shit coming out of hollywood.

.

This is my fandom, my holy trilogy.

The last movie was the original creator basically trying to sabotage the franchise, as was basically stated in the movie several times, and still, our late stage capitalists demand that nostalgia money from by digging up and raping the honored corpse of a brilliant and completed narrative. They won't get mine.

Still, if the l Cabin in the Woods director has any sense at all, he will attempt a reboot and tell the story through a new lense... if David Zaslav, enemy of art, labor unions, and companies actually providing products/services instead of profit by tax cheats and cheaply made "Reality" garbage lets them.

They should've stopped after the first one.

Aggressively disinterested in another Matrix film.

The last one was about literally not doing that

I didn’t even bother watching the last one. Don’t think I’ve ever even met someone who’s seen it either… But hey, apparently it made enough to warrant another movie, so what the fuck do I know?

This is a tricky one as there should never have been a fourth film (or third. or second) and I'd have usually just gone "nope" and moved on, but Drew Goddard hasn't put a foot wrong as a director and his writing credits are solid (if we overlook World War Z), so for him to agree to do this suggests he's got a great idea for the franchise. So I am surprised to say, I'm quietly hopeful about this.

If Lana Wachowski is executive producer how does that fit with the hypothesis of the last one being bad on purpose to kill the franchise out of desire to not make matrix movies anymore?

Also that guy Goddard has a okay-ish resume, idk. If they leave the existing plot alone and create new stuff within the universe, it may be not terrible?

But also fuck warner and zaslav, who even believes or trust them on anything anymore? First thing that comes to mind is that this must be a ploy to bundle up resurrection as an ongoing loss and claim a bigger tax break.

For fans of the Animatrix, I made this back in high school:

The only good film was the first one lol

Y'know what? I hope they get Keanu.

I hope every actor returns, and they all half-ass it as hard as they can. I hope the whole cast does the movie sarcastically.

I hope every subsequent film from this idiot robot studio in this zombie franchise is sillier and more self-sabotaging than the last, and they keep cranking them out anyway. Let the whole thing descend into SCP cursed-VHS-tape levels of self-aware vicious condemnation. The Matrix 6 has Slavoj Zizek, as himself, explain to Agent Smith's ghost why he's an asshole, and Hugo Weaving just sits there, stone-faced, in a silly hat. The Matrix 7 is mostly Lana and whatsherface dunking on conservative bigots with an in-character Greek chorus. The Matrix 8 has Will Smith as Neo opposite Laurence Fishburne doing a Sean Connery impression, but it's all a joke at Will Smith's expense, and apparently he's into that. The Matrix 9 brings back Joey Pants for a stealth remake of Memento that's mostly satirizing later Christopher Nolan. The Matrix 10 is a stoner comedy. The Matrix 11 is animated, so that David Zaslov will erase it from existence, and the series can finally die.
