Hey, I’m not a hater, at least not in the trolling sense. I just genuinely think it’s a poor movie and massively massively overrated. Never saw the sequels as I had zero interest.
When it released, it blew people away
I actually saw it on release in the cinema. Hated it. Ah well :-)
Ha, yeah, I thought it might not go down well, but I’m not trolling. I genuinely hated that movie.
The Matrix. So, so dumb. Dumb, lots of dumb.
Absolutely the most overhyped film I’ve ever paid money to see.
Hard disagree, the sequels were much better than the prequels IMO. Well, 2 of them were.
Criminally overlooked, except in Greece where they were huge apparently.
Judging by the comments I think I must be alone in loathing the Frutiger Aero style of design, both now and at the time. So self-conscious, so fake-looking, so plasticky.
Much prefer the clean lines and flat colours of nowadays (although that’s not to say there aren’t issues - eg Google’s stupid icon design policies in the last few years)
Was he still a first offender by the 34th count?
Ha, fair point, I hadn’t really thought of it like that.
Be great if the judge issues sentences for each offence, gradually increasing them until the last 4 were 1 year in jail, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years… :-)
They can attract up to 4 years for each charge. However he’s 77, a first offender (officially at least) and it’s a non violent crime. Those alone would make jail unlikely.
He’s also a FPOTUS and a possible future POTUS, who would have to have a Secret Service protection team with him throughout.
So IMO, there’s no way he’ll see a cell. Sadly.
Yeah, understood. Thanks again.
Wow, thanks for the detailed and nuanced insight. I’m sorry that something like that came into your life, and I hope you’re ok. Such a sad story.
After MMM, waterboarding should be a doddle if it ever comes to that.
I was still up for Portillo, back in 1997.
What an amazing night. I had never known anything but Conservative government, so to see those corrupt, selfish bastards swept away was absolutely joyous in a way that’s hard to fully capture in words.
Obviously the Blair government eventually completely fucked things up with Iraq, but at the time it felt like genuine liberation after years and years of sleaze and hatred.
And IMO things genuinely did change for the better in the UK with the Blair government, whether or not you agreed with every policy they had. Then Sept 11 happened, and Iraq and Afghanistan, and the world started going inexorably to shit, and it’s never really recovered.
I remember using Windows 3.1.
I’m so old.
Same, I always liked Vista, never understood what people had against it.
I would love to know who first thought, “Man I hate that logo on my phone. But I only have sugar cubes to hand…”
Heads up, your link to Josh P doesn’t seems to work I think it’s missing a closing bracket This one should work I think.

Also, Jesus Christ… I imagine it’s pretty weird to have known someone who would did something like that.
Masterpiece, schmasterpiece. It’s a series of dumb set pieces tied together with a pseudo-philosophical plot and some impressive effects.
Just IMO, of course.
