Never seen the matrix funnily enough

WUT?!

It's great. Apart from yano where the guy bends over backwards to avoid the bullets? They messed up that scene a right treat, he dropped his guns on the floor when he did it, and as the camera went round in a 360 as he did it, the guns disappeared.. Terrible.

Apart from that well worth a watch.

Yeah I've seen that scene, in scary movie! Pahah!

But yeah I do literally get a sense of deja vu with that scene. Never seen any other part of the movie though

The Matrix is cool, but they got steadily worse unfortunately. The second one was fun enough but not great, and the third one was just awful. I really didn't like it.

I've never seen any of those movies. I like action movies but Keanu Reeves kind of annoys me for some reason.

I saw the anime Paprika .. Not sure what to make of it! It was completely surreal. A team of scientists have made some thingies called DC minis (I think it was) which enables the recording of dreams. The test subjects who use them are somehow connected to a server I think and, without understanding details like how and so on, someone steals some DC minis and is able to implant dreams into those who have used them previously .. even when they are awake without the mini equipped. The result is some kind of severe dream psychosis which of course places the victims in great danger.

Things turn even worse when dreams merge and eventually become real. Or do they? The movie is quite confusing on the first sitting. One of the central characters is Paprika, but just figuring out who or what she is is a challenge. It felt like maybe I was supposed to know this character from beforehand? Either way, she seems to be an alter ego or dream personae of one of the scientists and she has some special powers. Anyways, despite being a bit hard to figure out, the movie was exciting and entertaining. I'd recommend it to anyone who think they might appreciate a surreal anime thriller and I think I need to watch it again some day.

Here's a trailer :

I've seen Paprika...oh man what a trippy freaking cartoon. I really enjoyed it, but damn...

Satoshi Kon is a genius and one of the reasons I don't completely dismiss the entire anime genre. See all of his work (except for Tokyo Godfathers, that was shyte).

Not sure if I bothered with the third one.. I might have but don't remember it. The first one was brilliant though, such a mind fuck until it sinks in.. It was amazing in its day. All of us playing in the playground doing Matrix moves haha.

Inception, I hope that will be the new Matrix. In the sense that it'll be a total mindfuck.

Yeah, I've bitched at you a lot over your anime dissing haven't I?

Your comments on Akira and My Neighbor Totoro really made me go "WTF".
