So this is co written by David Mitchell (not that one), should have a story that makes some sense at least

The original is a) a truly fucking awesome film, especially if you just totally ignore the existence of the sequels and b) the most "of its time" thing that exists.

Where is my Motorola flip phone, incidentally?

In the back of your sock drawer with all the other obsolete handsets?

That phone was cool as fuck at the time. The way it just snapped out without any damping, just a massive dry plastic thwack - didn't get cooler than that.
In other news, it was only about 2 or 3 years ago I got a FedEx package with one of those ripcord thingies. Ducked down in my cubicle and everything.

Wasn't it only the film version that the front bit popped down from a button on the side? The ones for the public you had to slide down yourself? Seem to remember people being upset about it

I got given one of those Nokias as a work phone back in the day, fairly sure they snapped down like the film.
Or at least that's how I remember it because my and my work mate used to fuck about opening them up and quoting the film.
That sounded better in my head.

Checked. It was a slide down cover and the Nokia 7110 got the one like the film

Berenstain Bears had a spring loaded Nokia 8810 featured in Shazam.

I am, probably unwisely, extremely excited for this.

I love the new trailer and am super pumped for this, so I watched both sequels again over the weekend. There's no doubt they're inferior to the first one, but they're really not that bad. The middle third of Reloaded is pretty amazing in fact.

I mean, we already know it isn’t given you see Neo with burnt out eyes from Revolutions in the trailer itself. |

I feel like they had so many idea's for 2 and 3 that they tried to stuff a TV season's worth of material into a few hours. Some worked some absolutely didn't, such as the shirtless Morpheus and cave rave groping orgy? Yeeesh.
It doesn't help that the first film is fantastic, the editing, pacing and design. It's a hard act to follow.

Yeah and it also wouldn't make a lick of sense that they are trying to 'find each other again' in this one, when the first one ends with them happily together.

I'm not sure I would want them to ignore the sequels anyway.

I just watched the first one again, neo dresses like those school shooter kids from Columbine.

Definitely not. For better or worse, they built a world. If anything, it actually cheapens the ending they went for with Revolutions. Although if they go all in with the 'Real World was a Matrix within a Matrix' thing, it won't be quite as much of a handwave.

I only watched the trailer once but yeah, I'd be pretty amazed if that wasn't the deal and if he's doing shit like that then it pretty much confirms it.

I just watched the first one again, neo dresses like those school shooter kids from Columbine. I’m rewatching the trilogy at the moment and was a bit concerned going in that they’d suffer the Fight Club problem* but its still just a very entertaining sci-fi action series. *where post-release associations taint the movie to the point where I find it unwatchable - ie Fight Club being an unironic incel and men’s rights activist manifesto. |

I meant in Revolutions. Towards the end when they're flying towards the machine city. It's a brief scene but it doesn't make any sense unless they're still in a simulation.

Yeah they are. Although I was trying to work out how it's about Trans people as a metaphor. What's the violence supposed to be for a start?  |

Oh yeah, there's all sorts of bits in the last 2 films that kind of give it away. I just hope they actually fully lean into it rather than try and explain it all some other way.

Neo’s powers transferring to the real world could definitely suggest more is up than Morpheus expected from the prophecy.
Perhaps there will be no ‘real’ world in the new one and its just simulations all the way down. As in not just the two worlds from the trilogy but any and all above them too - like the Keanu world in the trailer.

I just watched the first one again, neo dresses like those school shooter kids from Columbine. I only recently learned that this is what made it a 15 rather than 12 certificate (or US PG-13). Because it came out right after Columbine. I watched it with my older two kids, 10yo and 13yo, and honestly, the violence in the first Matrix is no worse than something you'd see in any of the cert-12 Marvel movies. However, I then watched Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions with just the 13yo... and they definitely step up the mature stuff. It's not the sex scenes that bother me (13yo didn't seem bothered by Neo and Trinity humping, she was on her phone). But there's some quite gory bits I'd forgotten that would probably have given the 10yo nightmares. |

Inception already did that, but having read a couple of David Mitchell novels it wouldn’t be a surprise
