I hate girls.
But at the same time, i still love them. I guess i just hate the cheating ones then.
Update:
On a lighter note, i just bought Matrix Revolutions on bootleg DVD like about 15 minutes ago. Will be watching it tonight and checking the comments section of this post after that. Hope it’s US$2 well spent! Nyuk nyuk.
Update:
Finished watching Revolutions. I liked it. Thought it was just okay. Don’t know if it’s better than Reloaded but even if you combined the two, it still wouldn’t be anywhere as good as the first Matrix (which i saw like 17 times the first week it came out… on VCD of course. Fuck if i’m gonna pay BN$7 or however the hell much it costs to go see a movie in the cinema here in Brunei… 17 times!).
Things i liked:
- The analogies they made for love and karma. I liked the whole idea of love being just a word. And that it’s the connection between the two people that really matters.
- Seraph is pretty cool. Was he ever supposed to be played by Jet Li at one point? Because i could so see Jet Li playing his role. Besides, isn’t Jet Li like in Joel Silver’s camp or something? (he produced Lethal Weapon 4, Romeo Must Die, Cradle 2 The Grave). I’m too lazy to research.
- The fist in the face money shot.
- Agent Smith really kicks ass. I liked the final fight scene. Gets me thinking of what Superman could be like if they ever do get the remake off the ground (Don’t fuck it up Warner Bros!).
- The ending ties it all up pretty satisfactorily (i.e they didn’t cop out with there being two matrixes or some shit)
- The best special effect in the movie: Monica Bellucci’s cleavage.
Things i didn’t like:
- Only ONE money shot?
- Not enough fights.
- Not enough Monica Bellucci.
Other than that, i can’t really say too much without spoiling certain plot points for those of you who still haven’t seen it (although i do think i’m probably like the last person on earth who just finally watched it). Anyhow, that’s what i think.
Btw, it helps A LOT to have played the Enter The Matrix game and watched The Animatrix prior to watching both Reloaded and Revolutions. Fills in a significant chunk of the plot holes.
Reading Lizzie’s page again, Justin? Anyway, I made a comment over there regarding cheating women, and I’m not about to make it here, because I have to get at least three hours’ of sleep or I’m going to be pissed off all day at work. Cheating girls suck, and I just assume they’re all cheaters, anyway. That’s about the gist of it, but I said it better over there. Or something. I need sleep.

Oh, and for those of you who don’t know, this isn’t Ain’t It Cool News, which is why I’m not some rabid fanboy who goes, "First!" after a post goes up. The fact that Justin has rabid fanboys disturbs me. Probably disturbs a lot of people.

The infuriating thing is this:
Re-read those comments. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE CHEATING WHORES blame their boyfriend for ‘lacking’ something in the relationship.
At least when men cheat, it’s an ‘uhh I was horny.’

#9 | Comment by lizzi — November 13, 2003 @ 11:30 pm
just finished watching it. it’s clear! cinema shot. but still clear. could’ve been a lot worse. anyhow, dvd bootlegs of recent movies are generally much better quality than the vcd bootleg copy. plus on vcds, you can’t turn off the horrible subtitles! support piracy!

Have to love those people who think that, when someone’s opinion is different than their own, they assume that that person’s opinion is flawed.
Hey Justin (or anyone else, really) – Do they have those stupid anti-piracy commercials before most of the movies you see now? Like one was some guy talking about all the movies he’s worked on, how he met his wife at one, how he does his best on everything he works on, and then "some guy just steals all that from you with a few clicks." My favorite part was when he said "And you’re not going to hurt the producers, or the actors, when you do this.. it’s the little guys like me." Right. The little guys who are payed a flat salary.
I was with a big group of people who saw it, and there’s a running fascination with pirates (I don’t know) and when they flashed up the text "End piracy." most of them said "Yarr."
Meh, anyway.

Justin u have to go to the cinema to experience the matrix! u cant watch it on a poor quality vcd to get the full experience!
#15 | Comment by MyKe — November 14, 2003 @ 3:42 am
haha. nah, i dont think they run those ads over here. just trailers. but i do remember this thing that they had up right before reloaded started. it was just text though. i think it said something like warner bros telling you not to bring in a videocam into the cinema to make bootlegs of the movie or something. and to end piracy. but nope, none of the ads like you described.

Zant-
omg, I see those anti-piracy ads every time I go see a movie now. Quite frankly I find them downright hilarious. Hilarious to the point that I tacked the "set painter" ad onto the front of my pirated version of "Kill Bill". Nothing makes me feel better than watching that ad right before I see a pirated movie.
If you want to see the hilarious "set painter" ad, head over to:

It really is a laugh riot. Just know that the "stuntman" ad (the other one available) is not nearly as good as the "set painter".
