The only justified Guinness record
Because it was 2006.
As was the style at the time
Christmas 2002 and I am drunk in a bar somewhere in Abruzzo watching an Italian quiz show on the television. It was two fifty-something housewifish nanas vs ‘Matrix’ (his actual quiz show name) who was dressed in a black leather and sunglasses like Neo and the gang out of the movie. One of the kids in the bar (around eight or nine) was upset because Matrix apparently sucked at general knowledge. I still remember his little voice going ‘No! Matrix no!’ as the ‘you lose’ chime played and Matrix slouched off set to applause.
That shit was big for years. Good times.
It’s the 2000’s. Enough said and no questions asked.
- Hey, Neo, go fetch some beers from the store!
- Why me!?
- You’re the chosen one.
Beating him in an argument is easy
Cause he’s a strawman
The first thing to understand is that for about 2 solid years after the matrix, everyone dressed like neo from the matrix. Everyone.
Not everyone, a few people dressed like Morpheus from The Matrix. A couple even dressed like Trinity from The Matrix.
That’s just neo fit with extra steps
“Winiwy! El!”
You ever look at a Guinness record and go, ‘you know, I could do better…’
58 hours of non-stop kissing. Food and drink is allowed but your lips must maintain contact. You may also use the bathroom, but the judge has to come with you both too
That’s a talent gay men can appreciate. And I do.
Oh shit I did have the 2006 Guinness Book of World Records and I do remember this exact pic. Simpler times
Man The Matrix deserved to stay in the culture longer. It even became double-relevant with the trans-themes
The Wachowskis literally wrote it with that in mind considering they have both transitioned at this point.
They didn’t? They transitioned WAY after the matrix. Please don’t spread misinformation.
This point meaning now as in November 2026. Obviously not saying they transitioned BEFORE the Matrix. Please don’t misinterpret my writing and accuse me of misinformation.
Well then instead of fighting with me just edit the post.
I rephrased this a few times, but basically Columbine happened and that was the end of that.
That explains why the never made any sequels.
They made 3?
No.
they did make some decent comic books though
That happened before the Matrix didn’t it?
Looks like it was a month after, March and April 1999
The Matrix look went on for much longer, this guy is seven years later, so I reject the hypothesis tbh
Like it is a genuinely good film and here is how I know. I have only seen it once, opening week in 1999 before any of the hype had built. There was 6 of us in theater.
Despite it being 27 years, I can still tell you key characters and plot points after all this time. That is how you know it was great. The sequels… not so much.
The original film was close to perfection, the second film had its moments, like the night club scene and the introduction of the twins and flipping an SUV with a samurai sword, and the third… basically only thing I remember is watching a live-action version of a DBZ fight, which was awesome to watch in the theatre and obviously still miles better than any fight in the actual live-action DBZ movie… But I couldn’t tell you what the rest of the film was about.
There is no live action DBZ though.
Ya we gave it the GT treatment but it is cannon Akira said so.
Part three tied the plot together in the end and gave it a tidy conclusion, but it was like a completely different film from one and two, probably cause most of it took place outside the matrix.
I liked Agent Smith’s existential rants. Those make the movie worth seeing, even aside from wrapping up the plot.
But the big battle in the cave drove me crazy because the timing was just so off. Like I think they wanted to build suspense so they dragged some things out. But for me that killed the suspense because it was like “okay time’s up, they would be dead if they didn’t have plot armor.” Personally I can’t feel suspense if the pacing isn’t at least believable.
It’s been my favorite movie since I was 11.
My reasons for liking it have changed a number of times as I grew older, but the movie has always been good.
Part of the reason that I like it so much is that you can fit into so many different allegories, but the core message of “change is hard, but you shouldn’t give up hope because life gets better” stays the same.
First explain to me, why are people in The Matrix dressed like they are in The Matrix?
Alt rejection of societal norms, this includes fashion. Plus leather hot pants are also cool. Bums
- Dark clothes == underground, goth, anti-consumer with bright clothes
- 90s == short hair, clean but dishevelled Gen-X look.
- Leather == EDM nightlife, punk, goth, metal
- Urban club scene == No smileys, baggy pants, psychedelic colors. All business grunge
Well it’s only the freedom fighters who dress like that. So the clothes are halfway between a military uniform and alternative fashion. It says “I don’t believe in this system and I’m ready to kill someone”.
Which training program did neo have to load for this?
Your mom’s college years.
So that skill is genetic, then?
Not quite sure what this means but checking your post history just in case
It’s not terribly interesting, sorry home slice
Thats just what an ass assassin would want us to think!
Look away
