i watched mother! and this is pretty much my reaction
please⌠be excellent⌠thatâs all i wish forâŚ
i rewatched the matrix and i got so pumped up while very high it was like i was a teenager again except i had the mind of an Adult Who Thinks About Things and i was still pumping my fist to all the totally self-indulgent action scenes and being astonished at how both smart and dumb it is. every line, sound, and shot was like an endorphin shot to my brain. it is now undoubtedly one of my favorite movies of all time
I knew the backlash was undeserved but when I watched it a couple months ago with my post-Speed Racer brain I was still floored
matrix 1 fuckin rules for sure
pumping myself up before i watch reloaded by listening to dragula on repeat 15 minutes straight
Reloaded is excellent and Revolutions is too long but the good parts are very good.
youâve seen all the good ones Iâm afraid
but I do hope they get another really good project again
(though sense8 is considerably better than those last two movies)
Jupiter Ascending is Twilight in SPAAAAAAACE, with all that entails.
iâve heard it described as an action movie completely unconcerned with a male audience, which is a hell of a sell
the lead has no agency or personality (other than âwants to fuck the dog man that does everything for herâ) except for one scene and kunis isnât the sort of presence that can pull off that kind of cipher
This is one of those times where I feel like no one ever reads my posts.
I uh, well, I just donât know about this one
Sense8 is great though
cloud atlas really got halle berry playing an asian man like something out of an eddie murphy movie fromâŚuhâŚ1980-2007
seriously the hellish race makeup makes them look like star trek aliens
jupiter ascending is definitely the inspid teen girl version of all the insipid teen boy blockbusters we are constantly bombarded with itâs super wild and like absolutely nothing else
would honestly kill for a modern popcorn movie to be as fun and weird as the matrix reloaded
The bit where the reveal vampires are the prototypes of Angents and then they sword fight a bunch of vampires at the same time Wachowskies reveal that this is just a movie adaption of their Mage the Aescention campaign is a high point for sure.
I did (and is an excellent review of it), but I wanted to shove my lukewarm take in there without thinking too hard about it.
i bet they worked really hard to get that finale down to two hours hey
cuba is old and I am old and those movies are bad (they tried tho)
I am old and I watched them recently and they were better than I remember but that doesnât mean great.
some of the Zion chunks of Revolutions looked really gorgeous in a painterly way that has aged v. well imo
