      Yeah, I’m not too optimistic. But hey, maybe if Alien: Romulus turns out good then I’ll have higher hopes for this franchise being handed off to a new director. Although that hasn’t exactly worked out well for the Terminator franchise…

      The one thing giving me hope here is this article says Drew approached WB about the idea, rather than WB desperately shopping around to continue a cash-grab on the franchise (which was literally the plot for Matrix 4).

        Oh great, they make yet another spin off? What about finishing the Prometheus arc first.

      It’s kind of like the Jurassic series. Really only part 1 was good. 2 was barely ok but too long. Every other one is just worse and worse

    So my ex and I went to the theatres with the intention of having sex during a movie, and we picked out cabin in the woods.

    We were the only people there, except for an older guy a couple rows ahead of us.

    We started messing around in the beginning, but ended up stopping (kind of) and watching the whole thing. The whole premise was pretty cool, the old gods and shit.

    But the matrix?

    They should have stopped after the animatrix…

    I just watched resurrection for the 2nd time, and holy fuck. The meta shit explaining they made the movie cause it was either them or wb is gonna do it was fuckin stupid. The whole love angle seemed SUPER stretched too…

    I almost wonder if it would have been better without any of the original cast.

    I also wanna know how much screen time was spent on flashbacks to previous movies.

    I can’t wait to ignore abother steaming pile of shit coming out of hollywood.

      What does having sex during a screening of Cabin in the Woods have to do with the matrix?
