Did you catch the trailer for Daredevil? I knew it was only a matter of time until Jennifer Garner was doing a super-action-hero roll. And I bet she and that dude from Triple XXX will be in an action movie together...

that movie was _good_; so what if it was a bit disturbing...
watch "night&fog" (or.. there's some crazy surrealist film about a slaughterhouse..)if you want disgusting.

anything "Matrix" related is bound to be an empty shell, coated all about the exterior with flashiness, fancy editing nonsense, and "stars"
on the other hand, most humans seem to like these intellectual voids of films. hence the proliferation of such.
whatever. stupid people make stupid films because stupid people want to see explosions and such. they make $$, the formulae work.

Yeah, I must admit that when I saw an extended trailer to the new Matrix films, I just had to yawn. They are filming 5 whole people at once in slllooowww motion matrix time now. Oooh boy. The first film was a one off and, I felt, a damned good movie (even though the entire story, style, characters, wardrobe, plot, in fact the whole bloody film was stolen from about twenty other productions/stories that I can think of... erm, where was I? oh... close bracket), how on earth can they better it?!

as for the matrix..well..the first one blew my mind but I was subtly aware that I was being duped into thinking that this wasnt a regurgitation, which I, heh (subtly), was sure wasnt the case. what is original anymore?
is "subtly" a word?

K19 was decent though! different type of film altogether, but well done. they actually got a real russian nuclear sub, towed it over to canada, added another 30 meters to its bulk, and then made it seaworthy. bloody impressive what you can do with the money.

Although I'm a fan of the Matrix, I didn't really notice the music. Does that means it's a good soundtrack slash score? Maybe it deserves a Slashie.

They've released the first of the "ANIMATRIX" shorts... stories meant to fill in the blanks and further fill out the Matrix universe..
Apparently Warners/The Wachowskis commisioned a lot of leading animation teams to work on various shorts - I'm looking forward to seeing the "last flight of the Osiris" one developed by the folx behind Final Fantasy Spirits Within..

then go and sit in front of the big screen. this isn't a two hour experience and it's not a purely linguistic experience. that's a lot of light and sound up there, but one movie is not the half of it.
yeah, remain calm. i'm sure they'll cue you when the nicely dressed gentleman swinging the pocket watch appears.
i'm glad it's cool for you, i hope it's a really cool movie. just keep.. doing what you're doing, bon appetit.

cork farming is pretty cool - stripping the bark of cork trees every 9(?) years..
it is funny though, that some people are SO into matrix "philosophy" that they think there's REALLY something there aside from the robots vs. omnipotent human-types.. whatever.. it's all programming. why do you think they call it programming anyway?
not like the audience didn't demand these types of things anyway. they're the ones who lapped up these guys previous "efforts" like Assassins and Bound, thus enabling them to MAKE wash like Matrix is.. eh..
the major part of the paying viewing audience wants to be programmed anyway - if they had to start thinking for themselves all of a sudden, when they've been conditioned NOT TO all along, they'd fall even harder on their proverbial face..
it's all right, people are just stupid.. you know it

Be interesting to see just how good this whole "virtual cinematography" malarky is.. what they're saying is, rendered CGI that is indistinguishable from the real thing so you won't be able to tell what's real "physical" stunts and what isn't... Hmmm.. we shall have to see.. but hey, Joel Silver always "talks" a good movie..

Message 81/90 24-May-03 @ 08:00 PM - RE: Matrix Reloaded
Acting is just like the one before, there isn't acting so it's not that tough.
Special Effects: Mindblowing. Almost makes you think that it has too much..except for a few things like when trinity decides to fall out of a building backwards, her guns look ghetto (not to mention that she fires WAY too many rounds out of two guns as she is falling in oh maybe 5 seconds..PLEASE). And the polefight scene with the 600 agents- fake looking and not to mention lame.
Action sequences: Pretty cool..took some shit to a whole new level, definatley with the one on one scenes. I think they got too rolled up with the idea of multiperson fighting which kinda gets tiring. Slow motion is done way too much and is more obvious as a cover up than for glorification of the movie. Ever wonder why they NEVER did one of those impossible jumps in fast mode? The weapons are finally cool than those stupid ing guns..got really sick of em in the first one and now they are using weapons that take skill, and they obviosly did some training for them.
Music: Decent..the first one was much better with the musical timing. The music in some of the fighting scenes and some of the original scores sucked major ass.
Plot: Just like the first one, there really isn't a plot, just an idea that they somewhat creativley use in this one. The plot is again a cheesey love story with nearly everything visually raped off of other movies. Then the idea is more expanded...and tries to tackle a theme that the directors really do not understand as well as they should, since they are making the movie and all.
There was way too much shit that should have been cut out of it. The sex scene which tries to grasp a deeper meaning is gratuitous and USELESS to the plot, not to mention the camera zooming on on random bitchtits during the "tribal dance scene" where they played some lame 4/4 music that didn't fit. They are obvioulsy trying to get more risky for some stupid reason with this one. They are also emphasizing the cause and effect plot which was weak and DEFINATLEY overdone with the useless orgasm cake scene.
It didn't have the same feeling as the first one- it was out of place, the dirty scenes were stupid, overdone, usless to the fundamentals of the movie. It was one of those LETS MAKE MONEY NOW movies and it really showed it.
When I walked out of the theater, I was bitching and complaining about how much I hated the movie. But after you think about it for a while, it does grow on you, but only its entertainment facter- nothing more.

I found this scene wicked funny especially when he wacks them off like with a bat. Kinda cartoonish i guess.
