H.P.K.:
Here's my belated take on Matrix Reloaded.
The meeting between studio bigwig and the Wachowski brothers (i figured a simple "This movie's shit - HATE", didn't convey my views well enough):
Studio Bigwig: So, that matrix movie made more than we expected.
Andy Wachowski: Or at least what you expected.
Bigwig: You guys think you can do another one?
Larry Wachowski: I think you know the answer to that.
Bigwig: If i knew the answer i wouldn't have asked.
Andy: Which means you only seek confirmation of what you know.
Larry: Or the debunking of what you do not.
Bigwig: Just answer the question. Can you do another matrix movie?
Larry: Our choice is limited by the designs of this world.
Andy: And to insinuate we have a choice at all is absurd.
Larry: I think the real question is why we have made the movie.
Bigwig: But you haven't mad eanything yet....But i'll take that as a yes either way.
*Larry and Andy go crazy with the kung-fu fighting for 10 minutes*
Bigwig: That was great, you think you can put that in the movie?
Larry: That was simply a moment in time that can no longer be captured.
Bigwig: Yeah, well something like that?
Andy: If i close my eyes, both of you no longer exist. The world is a means solely for my own existence.
Larry: When i eat asparagus, my wizz smells funny.
Andy: Even though i can still hear you. That is for you only exist aurally.
Larry: Because for that moment in time my wizz takes on the form of the asparagus. The asparagus believes this to be so.
Bigwig: Whatever. Here's a billion dollars. Go make a movie. If it's crap we'll spend another billion on advertising and nobody will notice.
And there you have it. Two dickheads who fluked a good first movie have gone and done pop-philosophy 101, placed all their pathetic, nonsensical theories into one movie so fanboys think it's deep, and interspersed it with massive budget cgi-fu fighting.
Sorry lads, but this cuts it about as well as a Qantas terrorist safe plastic knife cuts through their frozen bread rolls.
