The Wachowski Brothers

[Lancemc]

Any news on what The Wachowski Bros. have been up to?

I remember hearing a rumor a while back about them working on a Speed Racer film, but that didn't sound very solid. I absolutely looooooove The Matix films (yeppers, all 3 of them, Reloaded is even my favorite). And V for Vendetta is easily in my top 5 movies of all time. Yeah, that's good stuff.

Regardless, I can't wait for their next project.

I liked the first Matrix a lot, but the two sequels were a let down for me. I still think Morpheus should've died over Trinity for sure.

I always thought the Matrix trilogy as a whole was overrated. The first film was great. But as a whole, the trilogy doesn't do as much for me storywise as, say, the original Star Wars trilogy, or the Back To The Future trilogy. They were cinematically great though. Ushered in a whole new era of special effects.

V For Vendetta was CLASS

Yeah, forgot to mention V for Vendetta could be the most badass comic book adaptation other than Batman Begins or Sin City.

I think I might be one of the few people who prefer Batman/Returns/Forever to Batman Begins.

Batman&Robin was terrible though.

Batman Begins, to me, is just more true to the character of Batman with less flash and more substance.


The first 3 Batman movies were great movies involving Batman. The stories are too radically shifted for them to be real comic book adaptations of Batman IMO.

I love what Tim Burton did with the first 2 and hell, even the campy Batman Forever with Nicole Kidman at her absolute peak. Batman Forever could've been much better judging from the 40 minutes cut from the movie, I blame the studios for fucking this movie up.

Words have not been made yet to describe the awfulness of Batman and Robin

just saw Reloaded again today on TV... I didn't mind that as much as the last movie, which disapointed me beyond anything.

thought V For Vendetta was a tad overrated myself, but I didn't think it was a bad movie in the least.

Interesting.

Not sure what to expect.

Matrix (should have left the first movie alone without the sequels) and Vendetta

Wasn't there a story about one of them having a sex change around the time of the release of "Matrix 3...completely alienate your audience"

Thanks to the Matrix Reloaded, I don't think I will ever see a more awkward sex scene in a film. Ever.

Rumor has it, that was the first time Keanu ever touched a naked lady.

That's the word on the street.

I don't think so, he had a baby who was stillborn.

 

[cstar]

keanu...

I heard he'll be cast as the lead in Speed Racer. Can't wait!

Keanu's gonna play Chim-Chim??
Thats about right for his acting range.

correction to my earlier post.... Looks like Keanu will most likely be cast as Racer X...

[Hewson]

I still say he's perfect for Chim Chim

 

[cstar]

We have our Chim Chim: Emile Hirsch.

Too bad I can't stand that kid.

Sorry, Hewson. I knew you were looking forward to seeing Keanu in that roll. No mention of him though, as Racer X... but as the big star you think they'd mention it. He may not do it at all, which would be a travesty.

 

[Hewson]

It says Hirsch is gonna play Speed, not Chim Chim.

I still think Keanu could handle the role of Chim Chim with a few acting lessons.

 

[cstar]

That's funny.

I've watched the first Matrix film three times at the cinema, Blew my mind at the time.

Matrix Reloaded though went down the drain as soon as Neo got to Zion and its deadly dull cotton-wearing denizens, First there was the stupidest rave scene ever put to celulloid, followed by what must be the unsexiest scene scene ever that made me squirm in my chair. And I can't believe just how much dodgy CGI that movie had.

I liked Matrix Revolutions teensy bit better simply because my expectations were lowest of the low, but it still looked like a direct sequel to the dreary second film rather than a part of the trilogy.

V for Vendetta was ok but IMO nowhere near as smart and "deep" as it thought it was. I really liked Hugo Weaving's performance though, even if his character's verbosity got on my nerves sometimes.
