I watched the matrix years ago, and I didn’t understand the movie.
The new Matrix movie was crap. That’s why it bombed. I’ll never get that couple of hours back. Maybe I could file a claim at my fair market billing rate ($500/hr)?
The last couple matrix movies were total garbage. Especially the last one. And Oceans 11 was a bad remake of a dull movie that was 50 years old. Maybe make some good movies.
Lewis and Gilbert Matrix nerds are worse than Star Wars nerds.
Wife: “If I died, would you get married again?”
Mathematician: “No.”
Wife: “Why not? Don’t you like being married?”
Mathematician: “Of course, I do.”
Wife: “Then why wouldn’t you remarry?”
Mathematician: “Fine, I’ll remarry.”
Wife: “You would?”
Mathematician: (groan)
Wife: “Would you live in our house, too?”
Mathematician: “Sure, it’s a great house.”
Wife: “Would you sleep with her in our bed?”
Mathematician: “Where else would we sleep?”
Wife: “Would you let her drive my car?”
Mathematician: “Probably. It’s brand new.”
Wife: “And would you let her use my golf clubs?”
Mathematician: “No, she’s left-handed…”
In the military, in business, in sports etc, it is adapt, or die.
I don’t go to public theaters anymore.
My home video and sound system beats
Every theater I’ve ever been in plus I can drink beer
and not miss a scene.
I just wait and buy/rent my entertainment.
Plus my popcorn is freshly made to suit my taste.
BTW I’m not a rich guy by any measure!
The question of putting a film on streaming has been contentious. Several pandemic era films went to streaming, costing actors and producers who had “box office gross money deals” a lot of cash. Scarlet Johannsen sued Disney, they paid her $20 million to settle it.
I would think that, after these experiences, they would have adjusted their agreements to include more cash for the streaming rights, or just a bigger upfront fee and less back-end money.
