Vinny_93 , in A new Matrix movie is in development with The Cabin in the Woods filmmaker Drew Goddard at the helm

I haven't even seen the fourth one. Don't really see the need to.

Death_Equity ,

The only good thing about it is the subtext of "fuck you" to the film industry. The entire film was made out of spite and that is dripping from the script.

I don't think 'subtext' is an accurate way to describe the most blatant and in your face approach to getting a point across.

CaptDust ,

First 30 mins takes place in a studio full of creatives watching their life's work get torn to shreds, rehashed and commodified by out of touch executives. Idk, pretty subtle.

Ginger666 ,

Yes, but it wasn't really subtext. There is a scene where they literally say warner Bros would have done this with or without us...

But yeah, fuck the film industry for the most part.

Idr the last time a decent movie came out...

They should've stopped after the first one.

metaStatic ,

I won't begrudge the Wachowskis taking an easy pay day on the sequels. They get a lot of leeway after making the fucking Matrix.

Aux ,

Well, the fourth part is totally fine by that logic.

0ops ,

I like to watch the first movie, then look up the action scenes in the sequels on YouTube

Aux ,

Yeah, that's a good idea!

It can't be worse. Next to Alien I think the Matrix has been the most poorly treated IP in memory.

Terminator has entered the chat

Star Wars anyone?

ReallyKinda ,

Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of the ‘love conquers all” direction we went with the last one. Hope they fold in some more inspired nineties postmodern sci fi elements/themes

"If it's not directed by a trans person, it's not technically the Matrix; it's just sparkling cyberpunk."

I was watching a clip of the Architect mentioning they were on the 6th iteration and that the population of Zion is rebuilt every time. I thought it would have been cool to focus on a character who manages to find remnants of the previous versions with someone’s written account and either they go mad or start questioning if they’re in another matrix.

The Sound of Music, surprisingly. The first like 90% of the movie is them singing and frolicking through fields, then it ends with them being chased by nazis. It's such a radical shift in tone.

mipadaitu ,

Really???? I only had the first VHS in the two tapes set, so I've never seen the second half. I thought it was just an upbeat musical.

invertedspear ,

There are a few hints at the Nazis early on and throughout, but yeah. The last 15-20 minutes are car chases, tense hiding scene, and a standoff. Nothing like the movie up to that point.

Frozengyro ,

I assume it's probably meant to be like how it happened in people's actual lives. Rumors of Nazis, things happening, and then suddenly they are there and your life has been completely upended.

Eh not really the last 15 minutes, more like the second half.

Enekk , in Movies that “go from 0-100” in the last 15 or so minutes?

Jojo Rabbit goes from a heartwarming dark comedy about a boy that is living through WW2 and his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, into something very different that is too much of a spoiler.

RizzRustbolt ,

To be fair... he does heavily foreshadow that scene.

My wife has PTSD, we use this website for horror movies all the time so that she can watch without being caught off guard.

She and I are big horror fans but you need to be careful with PTSD to not let it ruin your night

Nice. Thank you so much for sharing!

Son_of_dad , in Joker: Folie à Deux | Official Teaser Trailer

Of all the great actresses to put up against this master of an actor, they went with a trendy stunt casting. I hate this.

GCanuck , in The Running Man: Glen Powell to star in Edgar Wright's Stephen King adaptation

I would love to see a book accurate movie.

But considering how the book ends (a plane crashing into a corpo tower) I doubt it.

It’s also just too dark for modern audiences. I’d love to be wrong though.

Twinkletoes , in The Running Man: Glen Powell to star in Edgar Wright's Stephen King adaptation

You had me at Edgar Wright

HeartyOfGlass , in Most obscure movies you've ever seen?

Thanks to Lemmy, I recently watched umami's "Interface". Beautifully animated surreal adventure. Really enjoyed the weirdness, myself.
