Just like in real life...

I hate all the people on these boards.

Yes, you too.

You mean Halle Berry?

...S.L. Jackson is showing his acting limitations in his old age...

S.L. Jackson? He isn't in that movie!

Good one!

Happy Birthday!

Well, Ionias, are you stinking rich yet?

Some bum on the street thinks I'm god.

I think that most people (both viewers and creators) are taking the Matrix out of proportions. The Matrix is an entertaining piece of Hollywood action, not a clever sci-fi movie or a philosopchical apocalypse epus. That's the way it should be expected, and only like that it can be liked.

I've just seen it, and here's my lil nifty review:

Let's start with the high point of my evening, which of course is the action sequences. They were spec-fucking-whoa-tecular. And that car chase, holy shit! Quite possibly the best action scene ever.

With that out of the way, we can proceed to the low points. First of all, the movie was stretched over the 2.5 hours like "butter scraped over too much bread". And unfortunately, a lot of it was bullshit, and by the heaps of it. Hard rocking cavemen? No, thank you.
The thing I was most pissed off about though was the Architect's speech (which unfortunately was far from the only place that thing happened). The writers just clearly patronized the viewer there. "Let's put a load of crap there, and when the viewer won't understand a thing, he'll think it was all very wise and smart. Yeah!" Well, that speech was a full of shit.
Another thing is that the movie does indeed proceed more like a computer game than a movie.

And the last point, which is not really a low point, but is surely not good either. The second Matrix has the same problem the second LotR had: it lacked the impression of the first one. When I saw the first one, I was pretty much glued to the seat, having a god damn visual orgasm, and thinking "WOW! Now this is something I have not seen before! This is a true cinematic experience!" The second one didn't have that, as I, of course, already saw the first.

Conclusion: They should have cut the bullshit in (at least) half.

Yakspit, read the post two posts avove yours.


Sneaky thief.  

I think we should have a poll on whether to return polls to the forums.






Damn recursion.

Jordan Lechkov(remember his winning goal against Germany in the 94 world cup?)

How can we forgot that bald head which got rid of the evil Germany?


Btw, Nacho, edit your earlier post if you want to change something.

Quentin Tarantino for me. 12431, as it goes with Four Rooms, the first two parts are shit, the 3rd is ok, and the last, QT's, is gold.
Others I enjoy are Guy Ritchie (I like his flowing style), Francis Ford Coppola, Kubrick and Ridley.

Hell yeah!

I'm getting closer and closer each time!

Madrid, cabron, salud al campeon!!!





Yes?

This is a very interesting theory you present there, Andail, but I think it's flawed. You see, the debate competition can't possible be over while the people who are taking part in it are not willing to part. The competition is what we can define as a 'fun community activity', and the people don't want to stop it. And after all, do we not to enjoy the forums?

Also, taking this thing away from them might channel their agressive energies towards other targets, thus possibly harming the friendly atmosphere on the AGS forums. Do we want to have whole threads filled with mocking and hatred? Do we not want to feel we know the person called "LilGryphMaster", "m0ds" or "DGMacphee"?

Edit: WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT A DEBATE TOPIC?

I'm all for!
