I think at some point MS realized that they were never going to win in the console-only because that is driven by exclusives, and they have two markets to serve in that regard. So they made Game Pass effectively feed both mouths at the same time. And while I like my PS5, the look/feel of the...

That's kind of missing the forest for the trees, Ut. You know what MS' super power is? They can tell any developer for any IP: "Don't release in that state. Wait until its ready". Look at what Skill Up said about Halo Infinite vs. COD whatever. And none of this is about Release-day sales for...

You mean, other than ruining the comic story by making him a villain because Whyt PE-pol are the WORST, AMIRITE?

I think they had enough to do with it that it was significantly better than the Woke trash tier BS that Marvel has been making for themselves.

Are Hawkeye/Daredevil/Black Widow "superhero"? He's in comics, and in the movie, powered up by being a dhampir, hero enough for me: I

That, that was the whole point of my post. They made it for Sony, though.

If you get stuff delivered from Walmart like groceries, W+ is great. I keep it just so that in the time of #BareShelvesBiden Walmart Neighborhood Markets Grocery stores will often have things the other stores around us won't.

Thanks Marvel. You had a good run, ending with Endgame. Now you make shitty woke D+ series and movies for yourselves and save the good stuff for Sony.

When I went to go find this clip on YouTube, I am still, all these years later, still shocked to find that it is only 4m38s long. It felt like 30m sitting in the theater watching it that first time. I can remember every moment, even Neo's hover-hand as he does the cartwheel with the M-16/AR-15...

The Analyst explains: "Kush here is one of my handlers; they're everywhere. Such a pain to copy an Agent over a coppertop; far more effective to just saturate a population. And, bonus, Swarm mode is sick fun."

There were no reshoots, 2021 people are just pussies; They just wrote it antiseptically so no one might get their feelings hurt about coppertops dying and cry about it on Twitter. That's part of the tragedy of the original Matrix. Every time the Zion crew defeated an agent, a policeman, a tool...

We had a long talk at work about this today and I got to have a live conversation with a bunch of people who were I think reflective of many of the attitudes here. Many people were "disappointed" and came out guns blazing because they remember "The Matrix" and what a great movie that was. I...

It's clear no one wanted *This* installment. It's literally everything that's wrong with Soft Remake Member-berry movies; In fact, It's the "Last Action Hero" of Soft Reboots.

I will grant you the dates but its something of a different era.

Every time someone says "Black Panther...finally a black superhero!" I have to stop and stare. BLADE. He was one of the first Black movie superheroes and so awesome. Late 90's leather before the Matrix. Feige cut his teeth on that Blade movie. The first couple of Blades are still great...

When he fucked up end of The Dark Tower, I was done. There is an argument that goes along the lines that some of what we are seeing ala Identity politics is due to changing movie audience demographics and not *all* ideology. As it goes, women make viewing decisions like 65-70% of time (IIRC...

They tried this shit and when people absolutely demolished it, they stopped. Now they do "soft reboots" where basically they remake a movie but in the same continuity and change a few things and keep the original characters around: TFA, the new Star Trek, Creed, Jurassic Kingdom, etc. People...

I only meant money, geez. So many of those movies were for-hire cash grab pure garbo "flicks". Raw Deal? Check. Red Heat? Check. Over the Top? Check. And by check, I mean the checks they were cashing and the money they were raking in; not the artistic quality of the movies. The fucking...

It's not my personal theory, feel free to google a bit and see for yourself. How many bombs did Arnold have in his prime? Stallone had one: Stop or my Mom will shoot, which he was famously pushed into making by Arnold when they in competition with each other. The rest of the movies you are...

That's because we're old and have member berries for when there were stars. Star vehicles don't exist; they don't open movies *which don't have pre-existing franchises* then. Just putting Sly in a movie by himself will not guarantee a big opening weekend. It will not guarantee heavy...

Ironically, the Mummy made $400+Million in 1999; it was a huge money maker in the same year as the Matrix and the Phantom Menace. It was the #2 seller that year in DVDs behind the Matrix, IIRC, which we had running non-stop at LAN parties. My Matrix story, one of my favorite stories; one of...

Thaaaat's a different thing, though. Would you go see *any* movie with Sly, or Molina, or Arnold, etc: That's what the studios mean by "bankable". Stars don't guarantee box office like they used to. In that past, you had "Star vehicles": You could put Arnold or Sly, or even Keanu in...

Did it, though? Movies aren't star-driven anymore. No actor is considered "bankable" at this point. People don't go to the movies to see actors, and no matter who you cast, movies will still flop. Even the Rock, the closest thing to "bankable" has had flops. No one isn't going to cast Keanu...

A big part of what I hear people saying is: "It wasn't the Matrix. Didn't live up to the Matrix. Fights weren't as good as the Matrix." I wonder what this movie could have done to live up to the hype after the failure of 2&3 to do so? Lots of people still had outsized expectations, comparing...

I think I have watched like 10+ hours of this guy playing? He's really good, knows the game extensively from at least one previous play and has a great manner. Seemingly has a number of games he is playing at the moment. Thanks for highlighting him on both fronts.

With this review, I finally understand why people hate this movie so much. If Trinity is overtly the new One, rather than the two of them together and their connection, since Neo made his choice in the previous Matrix and resurrected Trinity at the end of Reloaded, I would agree that robs the...

I, too was 12, and was nonplussed with the Ewoks. The other half of the movie though, is fucking fantastic. Luke/Vader/Palpatine is timeless mythic storytelling. Ewoks is were Lucas starts to lose himself in the business side of industry, and "making something for kids" becomes intermingled...

Just got back from seeing this in the Theater: Wow. That was amazing and poignant with a few nitpicks but nothing the god of movie narratives wouldn't let you into heaven for. Heartbreakingly bittersweet and somehow is the best of possible Spiderman endings. So many Easter eggs. SO MANY GREAT...

They didn't say what kind of changes they were going to make, just "show what a free mind could do", they know enough to avoid causing more scarcity again, etc. Remember, this is pretty close to a shot for shot or a scene for scene remake, so this is the analogue to Neo's call to the Architect...

Watching a bunch of negative reviews on Youtube (Campea, Dan Murrell, Grace Randolph, various others) to see how they come to their conclusions. I just disagree. It's not great by any stretch but really it's Matrix: The Ride. Its a very Meta Soft Reboot. I didn't think it was confusing at all...

Do I have to keep using in Spoiler tags? Since I am out of step on this AND Witcher. I need to read/watch more reviews trashing this; I don't get the hate. I mean, the Matrix is one of my favorite films of all time. Two and Three were huge letdowns at the time but I have softened a little...

This guy does an excellent review of S2E1 and provides solid reasoning for why they made some of the changes they do

It does, sorry if my summary doesn't portray that. After sleeping on, I wouldn't give it as a high a number but I apparently enjoyed it more than most people. It's an enjoyable watch for me, very much Rush Hour 3/Beverly Hills Cop 3; it's a lesser son of greater sires. It couldn't be anything...
