I’m now at risk of becoming a Wachowski-explainer but I think actions scenes being this bad was either intentional or intentionally neglected. It got dumb at times because it expected you to suspend disbelief and all of us have trouble with that these days. 20 years of unserious media full of quips, 4th wall breaking and so on killed the child like wonder in many people.

The biggest lesson from The Big Short movie is that you can be right at predicting a bubble for years but politicians and financieers can stall until they exit the market and everyone else has to deal with the aftermath.

And what a great nose rub to the studio it was! :)
I think the movie stands on its own however. I didn’t like Matrix 2&3 but Resurrections made them irrelevant. We got an ending to the story that included both Neo and Trinity and we got some ambiguity in place of convoluted lore, which is good for something as crazy as Matrix. It’s basically Matrix 1 reboot/remake that prevent another terrible follow-up. Making fun of CGI-heavy actions flicks was just a cherry on top.

I love me some cheesy Christopher Lambert movie. I watched all Highlanders after all. Added this to my watch list, thanks.

There are some really good movies that flopped that are too boring to list so I’ll go with something more controversial. I really really enjoyed last Matrix movie. I’m 99% sure most people didn’t understand what it was.

- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 1 week ago:
Lots of good series have a terrible first season. I don’t think it was salvageable due to how shallow everything was. It wasn’t bad necessarily, it was extremely mediocre with most of the world building consisting of adding mysteries writers didn’t know answers to. Most were just indifferent to it in the end, which something beyond disappointment.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 1 week ago:
There was a time where content wasn’t so abundant, people watch TV on the TV and marketing mattered a bit more. Back then you didn’t have 2137 sci-fi shows to choose from so you watched what you could.
Take Terra Nova. Released late 2011, Spielberg as an executive producer. Dystopian future, time travel to the prehistoric era, hint some dinosaurs. Hype. It was cancelled almost immediately after the first season due to how disappointing it was.

Hackintoshes will be over soon unfortunately. A pity since that’s how I originally entered Apple ecosystem. ThinkPads with MacOS are bees knees.

- Comment on 'Mickey 17' to hit streaming services after a disappointing month in theaters 1 week ago:
Oh, I thought it released already since it „appeared” on my media center last week in a very good quality.
Tap for spoiler
Pretty good movie with a botched ending. As a person in chronic pain I particularly liked how Pattison played that gentle, accepting attitude you get toward repeated trauma. Sucks the movie switched into Hollywood mode for the last part, it would be one of my all time favourites otherwise.

This and clickbait. Both ware a race to the bottom for information and debate quality motivated solely by greed.

It could mean that effectively caricature artists become one of the first professions protected by law from AI slop, kind of accidentally, and I don’t have that much problem with that.

I’m sure Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will make a great soundtrack but it’s a soundtrack to a bland American action flick so either they elevate it into something great by the virtue of their own talent and hard work or their efforts will be wasted. First is still possible but I think unlikely.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s too much of American action flick and no weightlessness, grace in movement or strikingly bright details that were core to the aesthetic that defined both of the previous entries in the franchise.
