i need to find those movie critics who trashed the matrix revolutons<\/i> (wantonly\u2026not explicitly, as there were <\/i>points for criticism) and bitchslap them stupid. what the fuck is wrong with you?! matrix revolutions <\/b>was a \u201cvisual tour d\u2019force of groundbreaking proportions<\/i>\u201d (ive always wanted to write that). jk, it wasnt groundbreaking, but it was brilliant to watch. the first matrix <\/i>was the groundbreaking original, the second the overly-hyped media juggernaut (i personally loved it), and the third the rollercoaster finale. the movie is in my opinion the most entertaining of the three\u2026due mostly to the lite dialogue (ill admit\u2026there was little dialogue) and the siege of zion. the entire sequence is amazing. just as youre sitting in your seat with your eyes super-epoxied to the screen as the apu\u2019s are taking down thousands of sentinels\u2026and youre thinking to yourself \u201cthis is some crazy shit<\/i>\u201c, the actual sentinel \u201chorde\u201d comes pouring thru the breached walls and youre going, \u201cjesus h. christ in a chicken basket!<\/i>\u201d ill probably puke when i see that sequence on the imax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

oh yes, and as for that old link to the purported synopsis of revolutions<\/i><\/a>, it was actually 60%-70% accurate. it was correct with specific plot points\u2026such as the offspring of the 2 programs, the hell club (mostly), and the machines jacking neo into the matrix (mostly)\u2026while its plot progression was wrong, and its ending completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when i first read the synopsis, i actually thought it was quite good. and now after seeing the movie, i have to admit that i liked the theoretical ending of the synopsis more than the actual movies conclusion. the idea that the kid was the actual one<\/i> was coo in the sense that since he was the only person ever to self-actualize (according to the animatrix<\/i>), that he was the true manipulator of the matrix. even neo\u2026the purported one<\/i>, couldnt self-actualize\u2026he needed the red pill. neo could have instead been the herald of the one<\/i>\u2026who has the power to awaken the true one<\/i>. i also liked the fact that the end of the synopsis version was just the beginning, as the kid \u201cbecomes\u201d the architect and begins to bend and shape the matrix to his will. because otherwise, in the movie the kid is just a glorified intern, and his entire back-story becomes moot. as such, the movie is out there and everything else becomes irrelevant. matrix revolutions<\/i> on imax this saturday\u2026rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

oh\u2026and woody allens filming a new movie in my neighborhood. whoopie *twirls index finger<\/i>* \u2013 update \u2013 jk\u2026will ferrell, amanda peet, and chlo\u00eb sevigny are apparently in this movie. maybe theyll feel like hanging around the area. woo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
