Remember when the Matrix was supposed to unseat Star Wars and was allegedly for smart people who thought it was "deep" and had "meaning"?
That was awesome. :lol
i hated those days so much. neo used to be my handle long before the films were even in production. i had to change it because a million other people suddenly had the same handle and it was impossible to hold a conversation in IRC. someone would say 'that's awesome neo!' and about ten people would say 'did you mean me?'. the 'depth' of the films was as i recall 'did you know Neo is an anagram of ONE!?!?' and 'Trinity... that's like the holy trinity and Neo is kind of like jesus!'
when the second one came out, i called the 'lets all be friends' ending the third would have. everyone was still hopeful then. the second asked all these unanswered questions... the answers could be awesome!
but they weren't. they were so far from awesome that i have no guilt in saying i loved the third film, since it vindicated everything i'd said about how the first is a terrible origin story for a super hero (still a good movie in and of itself) and how the answers to the second weren't going to be fulfulling.
bits of the animatrix were awesome. the rise of the machines segments espescially.
the final boss encounter of path of neo was hilarious, but then so was just about everything in path of neo. i'll never forget that first batch of awful awful screenshots they put out for it.
