The Matrix

Journal FortKnox's Journal: Yes, I am avoiding you 22

Journal by FortKnox
I am deleting and not reading any JE's about the Matrix. I won't be able to see it until tomorrow or Saturday. I haven't seen anything about it except the full trailer and the first animatrix. So if you don't see many comments from me in your JE, its cause I didn't see it.

And what's up with the matrix icons? They look like colored suppositories!

  • The animatrix doesn't really give anything away, it's all just filler for where the movies don't go indepth, so don't avoid them just to not spoil the move. Though I haven't actually seen M2.
  • I too am resisting the power of the Hype [slashdot.org].

    Actually, the icon looks more like two transparent Giant Smarties. Aaargh.... must - resist - pull - of - tuckbox !!! *grin*
  • I didn't comment though. I mean, having an idea how the movie will be is not annoying in the first place. I mean when "The Matrix" came out, about anyone already knew that The Matrix was a program before entering the theater.
    It's not going to be any different with this one. You'll get blasted all over the place with reviews/documentaries/interviews/trailers. I usually go see those long-expected movies 10 or 12 weeks after release, when everything has died down a bit. So, I'm pretty sure I will know wh
    • Well, I had no idea what the (original) matrix was. Didn't see any trailers or anything, just a buddie in school said "heard this was a sweet movie, lets go see it tonight" and it blew us away.

      And, from what I hear, this is the best sequel since "The Empire Strikes Back".

      • And, from what I hear, this is the best sequel since "The Empire Strikes Back".

        IMHO, the best sequel since Empire was Aliens.

      • It was the same for me. I hadn't heard of the Matrix until I saw it at the university theatre.
      • all i knew was that people had wierd powers and there were tons of effects. i had no idea about the ideas/story. love that movie.

        on a side note, i avoided all the hype with episode one, but was so disappointed that i tapped into some for episode two just to see if it would be equally as bad. i've given reloaded a chance, only watching some of the animatrix and the trailers.
      • Well, then a kind advice: don't read any magazines or watch any TV while you haven't seen it. I remember distinctly that it was plastered all over the place. Heck, don't read Time Magazine of last week (or two weeks ago? - I get the old ones from my dad), it gives away the whole plot (which doesn't sound that good in my opinion, I could reference another movie that has done the same but I won't)

        Never been a StarWars fan, sorry, didn't find any of those movies great. Actually, most of the time I found t

  • You may enjoy this comic [pvponline.com]. Then again, you may not. :)
  • just to let you know, it blew my mind. my je doesnt give away anything, so it's ok to read it. yeah, you realize how much it takes to blow my mind, so you know it's gotta be good :)
  • Hey, I wasted a lot of time on my Matrix entry. You could at least read it AFTER you've seen it. :)
