The Wachowskis Returning to Sci-Fi with Jupiter Ascending - Part 1

[Rowsdower!]

Green lighting M night Wachowskis 175 million dollar film based only on a treatment is one of the dumber things that I have heard.

EDIT: I just read Darth's confession.

Seriously. Is it any wonder why Robinov got sh**canned?

It is like they just ignored everything that happened post Reloaded.

He is lucky he was allowed to leave with his pants.

It's easier to gang up on / bully / troll people you disagree with than to have a standup discussion with them.

Just wait a few days, I'll adequately respond as soon as Amazon delivers my tiny violin.

I do hope you picked super saver shipping.

Always.

I stopped trying to have reasonable conversations with you when I realized you were incapable of having reasonable conversations.

I love all the "What Happened?" news articles surrounding this movie. What happened? I'll tell you what happened: Exactly what you should've ****ing been expecting to happen to a movie with this kind of budget that looks like it was based on a clusterf*** of a fanfic by a nerd hopped up on Mountain Dew and with a hard-on for every nerd genre that's ever been.

Heavens...

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Jupiter Ascending opened with less than Jack the Giant Slayer, After Earth, John Carter, the ****ing RoboCop reboot and Speed Racer. Let that sink in for a moment. That's how badly it tanked in North America.

What a lie.

After pages and pages of you dishing out personal jibes at me, we finally began having a semi-substantive discussion on The Matrix Reloaded's screenplay...when you decided not to respond.

I didn't rub it in your face. I respected your right to bow out of the discussion.

I thought it was over and that we'd ended on a note of (sort of) mutual respect.

But then you chose to go back to trolling.

Point fingers all you like, but the only one "incapable of having reasonable conversations" is you.

What the **** has happened to the Wachowskies?! The first movie I saw of theirs was The Matrix (I saw bound later). The Matrix is my favourite movie of all time, I saw it 7 times in theatres and countless times on DVD/Blu ray. Every single movie they have made since has steadily been getting worse. Much like M. Night has been getting worse since Sixth Sense. It will get to the stage where (like M. Night movies) I start avoiding the Wachoskies movies in theatres. Sort it out, you're better than this.

I am so glad that the Wachowskis made The Matrix when they did. They both rose and peaked with that movie. Lightning in a bottle, really.

I enjoyed it I dont think its as bad as people make it out to be.

Me neither. There's instances in JA that hint at a better movie -- like the action and portions of the world-building. But it needed a rewrite, Kunis and Tatum shouldn't have been cast, et al.

Action and stellar CGI alone can't sell a movie any more. It needs a tangible and coherent story pushing it along.

I like the bold ones.

I'm curious why he kept campaigning the Wachowskis as long as he did. There's a difference between second chances and pissing your money away.

Sometimes artist really do only have one great piece of art in them.

When the mods are calling you out on your hyperbolic statements, it is time to be honest with yourself and realize the US tanks have rolled in.

I have had rational conversations with Rock Sexton this very site. This is a "its not me, its you" situation. And no, there is no "mutual" respect.

What are you talking about?

A mod happened to think that my description of The Matrix Revolutions was hyperbolic.

How does that equate to me being "incapable of reasonable conversation"?

That's like a racist saying, "I didn't used to be racist. So it's cool for me to kill black people."

What do you want? A cookie?

This is a "its not me, its you" situation. And no, there is no "mutual" respect.

I can see that now.

You're clearly intent on trolling like a hyper-active toddler, so I'm no longer going to waste my energy in trying to engage you.

Troll away.

Moronic.

.......wow.

 

[TheVileOne]

If you guys want to discuss the finer points of the Matrix Trilogy, go into a Matrix thread or a Matrix forum.

This is a Jupiter Ascending thread.

Can we please just nuke this thread now?

 

[max314]

Very wow.

This is what happens when you read selectively. Avoiding the part when people continue to point out that it is a running theme with you.

I always want a cookie. But the rest, wow.
