some dorky things about that trailer but I am cautiously optimistic.

apparently according to leaks is

Goff is good and will be interesting to see him play this part in matrix 4

^ Yeah, man, MIndhunter (particularly S1) is pretty fucking flawless. I heard a rumor he's thinking about going back in for another season but we'll see. 

I'm throwing caution to the wind and just holy fuck I'm hyped for this. To support the whole "meta" idea check out this still from the trailer where it's clear someone is watching the Matrix (or, at least a scene from it) in the world of the film:

i'm grateful that on first glance it doesn't look like there's a leather club full of over the top SM gear where meets happen. the wachowskis were way into that look back then and thought it was the coolest thing ever i guess so it'll be nice if this film creates a different world for all this to live in. 

re: Mindhunter.. read some stuff too.. apparently fincher oversaw every part of the show and it was super intense and huge amount of work for him so going back in is a daunting idea or something. but the cast was down for more. ana torv is so good in it .. the 3 main characters are all really amazing and all the serial killers are just so perfect. was looking forward to more BTK storyline. that guy was perfect.. now i see him on some commercials and every time i think of his weird ass BTK character. 

I'm down to fuck with the the new matrix.

yeah. trailer got me lightly hyped. But i must say, if that bit about the leaked story happens to be true, ... I don't know . . sounds like a cop out to me.

Before I read that I was speculating about this "new" Neo being an echo from the previous one which died at the end of revolutions. This new neo being part of the matrix which started at the end of revolutions. 

Was thinking the "resurrections" matrix would be about new neo trying to get in touch with the previous life neo within himself. Would be like looking at neo rediscovering himself all over again.

The rich actor thing breaks the fantasy so to speak. Not sure how that will fly. But i def want to find out.   

/geek

looks like shit tbh

this new Matrix shit looks like someone's copied homework

Watching Sinister with headphones on in the dark, and it’s damn creeping me out. Especially the bit when the weird white face on the computer…………and the lawnmower….

Pretty sure this is the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long while.

Hahah Geogaddi BOC?!

This film is a fucking trip and that’s definitely the icing on the cake. Anyway back to the movie.

They’ve decided to move Halloween Kills (2021) to Peacock for free steaming on October 18th

Anyone seen this yet?

Watched I'm Thinking of Ending Things

One of the most fascinating movie of the recent years. Truly original. Conveys the feeling of existential dread and absurdity almost perfectly. Superbly orchestrated. Highly recommend.

Im in the team of people who liked Matrix 2 and 3 for the plot twists and weird philosophical aspects even tho they could be considered a bit messy movies (loved the Agent Smith merge twist especially, the ''well it looks like im the Im not the One'' dilemma, Morpheus losing faith, The Oracle being a machine, the plot about the Matrix having many previous versions, all of this was very unexpected and played against the codes of the first Matrix being only a basic messiah/superman story ) but this trailer highly worries me.

The whole therapist thing, return of the white rabbit and basically morpheus 2.0 feels off and rehashed.

But we'll see. I will give the benefit of the doubt to Lana. Trailers are often shitty and not representative of movies. I will watch it for sure. If anything the trailer lower my expectations and i might be in for a nice surprise.

I think maybe Morpheus is like the Oracle or the Architect, the body is just a shell for the consciousness, so it can be conveniently played by any actor, of either sex

Yeah its not the fact its another actor/person/character, its the fact he seems to be saying the same thing as in Matrix 1 and so is the rabbit girl lol

Like replaying the whole ''wake up neo'' part of the first movie

Giving me Death star flashbacks

In sure they’re stuck in some cyclical cycle, since that’s the sci-fi trope of the moment.

I mean the Matrix after all is, imho, the old Plato's Cave story transposed in a modern sci-fi environment. Or a comment on the Buddhist concept of Samsara and cycle of reincarnations. Or something in between.

The movie sure looks like it's about this and reincarnation in particular.

Which could be interesting.

I will always respect the Wachowskis to have even dared to try to speak or hint about such things in a blockbuster movie .And even succeeding doing so in an interesting way. AND convince the studio to give them money to do such crazy movies. It takes guts and grit.

Doesnt happen very often.

Didn’t they say there was an entire trans metaphor running thru the Matrix trilogy? Besides all the androgynous characters, I guess.

Yeah. But i mean, it can definitively be interpreted in different ways if you wish. It's one of the cool thing about the Matrix is that it is pretty open for interpretation. It leaves space for the audiences to fill the blank and create a meaning for themselves. You can get many interpretations at many levels.

Whether social, personal, political, philosophical, religious, scientific or just basic narratives and artistic levels. (for better or for worst tho, red pill people im looking at you..)

Did you ever listened to the DVD commentary with Cornel West?

Pretty interesting. I recommend.
