I agree the finale was a bit anticlimactic, and the ending was quite sudden, but overall I have enjoyed the ride. I’m fine with the mixed bag of almost-resolution. It’s a bold ending.
Honestly, in all seriousness, give it a go. There’s one with BJ Novak if you are a fan of The Office.
Come on, folks. Let’s talk about something more interesting.
You should watch it next time you get a chance. It’s a fun ride.
Sleater-Kinney
I don’t think it really matters. I have this on dvd, the one released way back when, and I find it perfectly enjoyable to watch them in the order as presented there. They are all their own self-contained stories, so you can watch them in any order you want, imho. I don’t think they were meant to have a chronological sense, they just add layers to the Matrix universe.
Whoopsie!
“Let’s talk about something more interesting” is the title of a web series she did with her writing pal (another hottie, by the way). They did one with Matt Damon, might be a good place to start.
Really, type it in, check it out.
There’s more to this woman than her boobs.
Well, from a fan who has watched this from beginning to end, I say welcome! And I hope you enjoy the show.
The show is definitely the story of ‘Don Draper’, and he becomes fairly interesting in the long run (in my humble opinion).
But the show is also the story of the company, and all of the people who work there, and that company is filled with interesting characters.
Overall, the show is a great ride, and a fantastic period piece.
“His chances of survival just dropped”
I totally agree. He was already on edge and super paranoid. This new development certainly added to that sense of imminent danger, and then informed his following actions.
His mentor had been murdered, and he wanted revenge. So it was personal now. At least that’s the vibe I got from how things played out. He wasn’t being rational, but he did at least have a backup plan just in case his passion-fueled decision backfired. I think maybe he just didn’t want the guy to get away again, so he decided to do it himself.
And it works for the story, in my humble opinion. Things get dirty when you’re dealing with rats.
Yeah, I hear you. But that’s the making of a preceding chapter in the story.
The movie works best by presenting the finished machine as is.
I think your ‘manufactured’ statement perfectly sums up your query.
If these machines are advanced to the point that they can create cyborgs, they are probably also meticulous in the design and manufacturing of said cyborgs, which means it would be more practical to just create skin to fit the machine as part of their design model, rather than making a machine that will fit the skin of an individual human.
However, your idea is certainly terrifying, and could work as a premise for its own horror movie. It gave me Leatherface vibes, but if it were in a cyberpunk future.
Hacksaw Ridge was pretty pro-Christian.
Lol!
It was kinda Lectorish but the squid did ask him to do it, so…
Cheers to that!
And don’t kick yourself too hard, you can’t watch a movie any sooner than the moment you watch it.
Possible titles?
Maybe “The Great Shark Hunter”. I think that would be cool.
And if HBO made a short series out of Hell’s Angel’s, I’d be into it. Like if it was an early biographical that culminated into the experience of Hell’s Angel’s.
But I would also love to see a movie based solely on that book.
I also enjoy this movie, and Anarchy and Election Year are great continuations of the story.
I think that overall, the premise is really heavy and dark, which can be a lot for the viewer. But if you’re into that sort of thing—watching really f’d up morality tales—these movies can be pretty rewarding. Also I think the filmmakers did a good job of creating a believable alternate reality, which is at times thankfully unbelievable, but at the same time disturbingly plausible.
Great Odin’s raven!
Honestly, having read your post earnestly, it seems like this movie just ain’t your cup of tea. And that’s a hundred percent alright.
When I was eleven or twelve, one of my cousins gave me a box of graphic novels he was done with. Along with Watchmen, and The Long Halloween, there were two Sin City books in there, and holy crap if I wasn’t hooked.
I was fifteen-ish when this movie came out, and I was super stoked to see it. It’s over the top and goofy and ridiculous fun, and still one of my favorite movies but mostly because of the nostalgia factor—it reminds me of the gift my cousin gave me back when I was young. I do prefer the books, though I think Robert Rodriguez did a good job of condensing some of the stories into this one film.
If you do give it another try, which I hope you do, try not to take it too seriously. The story isn’t meant to be realistic in any way shape or form. It’s fantasy noir.
Also, you’re not missing anything by avoiding the sequel—you’re better off reading the graphic novels if you are really interested in that world.
