I saw The Matrix for the first time like 3 weeks ago when they had it on Imax at AMC, and I really liked it so I went ahead and watched Resurrections (I skipped both Reloaded and the other movie). It had some fun jokes but that's about it lol

The entire resolution to the trilogy hinged on destroying Smith, and yet now he's back without explanation, with no discernible motivation, and then never even resolved.

$13.2 million domestics, $22.3 million worldwide
Screen Rant estimates its budget was $175 million and would need to make $350 million to recoup all costs.

Oof, that's worse than cutthroat island. You think Warner Brothers will be done with the Transchowskis after this?

The irony that Warner "Brothers" bankrolled this.

People used to refer to being gay as a mental illness too. Yet we've moved far, far past that. This really is no different. And even if it were purely due to mental illness, it's incredibly insensitive to mock people suffering from something like that.
Grow the hell up.
I enjoy making fun of people different than me, it's funny And not demeaning of those people at all.Tibbers said:TCTTS said:

A sex change is different than being gay, but ok. Live your life however you'd like, makes no matter to me. Lighten up however. Life is too short to take it so seriously.
Comedy is surprises. So if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh, that's funny.

Uh oh, can't make jokes about things unless we ALL can laugh. Have you ever seen stand up comedy?
But but but! Women are different than men so we can't have jokes about them either!!

Desiring to mutilate your flesh because your brain doesnt accept your biology is the very definition of a mental illness.
Progressivism has made leftists lose rational thinking. "Hey this is a civil rights cause." No, it's a sickness that has people sterilizing themselves and you are dumb and evil enough to celebrate them while they do it.
TCTTS said:
I've never understood why "mental illness" makes someone okay to mock. Why not instead have empathy for these people? Mental illness or not, they feel trapped in the wrong body/gender. That must be a hellish existence, and the last thing I would do is make fun of that person and mock their pain.
Now, if you want get angry at a parent who encourages their eight-year-old to start taking hormone pills or get some kind of elective, gender-related surgery? I'll be right there with you in saying that's insane. That, and I can't f/cking stand the type of parents in LA who are disappointed when their children start showing traits of their birth gender (as opposed remaining "gender neutral").
But mocking trans people for having a "mental illness" is A) far oversimplifying the situation, and B) says far more about you than it does about them.
TCTTS said:
You're missing the entire point of that character if you think that's mocking mental illness. Rather, Stiller is mocking the system that *uses* mental illness to try and win acting awards.

It wasn't great, but after rewatching 2 and 3 in the past month, I found this to be a heck of a lot more entertaining.
Low bar, though, because I didn't understand a lot of this and I don't really care to watch it again. Glad I just HBOMaxed it.

This conversation feels like the last third of the movie and I'm talking to a couple of NPH's.

Honestly, I think they should have gone the opposite way and turned this into an HBO Max series. Because it's not a bad story. It was just badly executed.
