I'd probably watch a DF movie. It's got to be more original and interesting than the current crop of reboots. (Matrix reboot? Blah.)

Only getting paid every three months is harsh.

@RaceProUK Didn't read too much about it, but: https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/17/03/15/1954220/the-matrix-reboot-its-finally-happened-hollywood-has-run-out-of-all-the-ideas
(It might not be a true reboot, but more like a new side story or something. The second and third movie kinda sucked compared to the first one, so I'm not having high hopes either way.)

Even if all the characters speak in lojban?

Reeves is not expected to be “the One” to lead the new film. The Wachowskis, who also directed all three films, are reportedly not involved in the reboot at this stage either.
Ah, so it's a pure money-grab. Now I know, and knowledge is voltage times current.

I didn't exactly watch (for example) the Resident Evil movies for their grandiose dialogue. Lots of dwarfs getting chopped up and torn apart by demons from the underground doesn't sound so different.

@cvi sounds like a more realistic version of The Hobbit

Doesn't the Matrix get rebooted every few years anyway?

@Jaloopa Every Patch Tuesday ^^

Which could have been great if they hadn't spread out the material over three movies. :-/

@cvi I like to think LOTR would make a great movie if we take the 3 of them and remove all the scenes with Hobbit and tree drama.

Yeah, they could have massive battles and the CGI budget would be tiny!

@boomzilla 90min of moving ASCII characters and all their voices dubbed by @ben_lubar and @Adynathos speaking lojban.

Now you're turning it into one of those artsy hipster movie projects.

QFT. They could have made it into a decent "part 1/part 2" film, but there's just not enough material for three, and in the third one it was painfully obvious that they had run out of steam.

Sorry, but we'll make it really slow and long, and divide your joke in 3 3h sessions.

Minced joke.

@boomzilla Is that a Proper Joke or am I getting my forum memes mixed up?

@hungrier Meme better.

@boomzilla have you tried making your meme three pixels wider?

There's a third one?
I got so fed up with the amount of non-canon filler material in the second one that I never watched the third. Apparently I didn't miss all that much...

Basically, there was a fight between one guy and a second guy who cloned himself into everyone else so the world was filled with hims. Then the solo guy kicked his ass.

I didn't realize they went that far away from The Hobbit book's material...

You mean you don't remember the part where Wolverine fought a hundred Voldemorts?

That plus a lot of Plato's Cave philosophy stuff that no one gives a about.

Pretty sure that would not be better
