decided to rewatch "the matrix" and its funny how the movie depicts this dark future where the machines are using humans as batteries, but given that we're on track to boil the planet so that oil executives can take home a few more dollars every quarter and the machines just want to keep us trapped in an eternal 1999 i say let the machines have a go. they can't do any worse than us also the fight scenes are sick compared to the poo poo you see today. even in "the matrix reloaded" there's tons more care and effort put into the choreography than half the blockbuster action flicks we got now. the fights aren't full of messy cuts and actually flow really well

It's just a pity almost all the action scenes in the Matrix sequels are also very pointless though.

Reloaded and Revolutions aren't that bad if you're only half paying attention, I find.

todays the last day family guy airs on adult swim https://twitter.com/AdultSwimNoCon/status/1439431453578772480 personally the show became mediocre garbage in 2010 when it went hd but it was most responsible for skyrocketing adult swims viewership so they could produce more great shows end of an era

Matrix fight choreography was by Yuen Woo Ping, who directed Jackie Chan in Drunken Master (and a bunch of other great old kung fu), the circle is completed

Mystery Men has such a ridiculous cast. like even ignoring the main capes, you've got Wes Studi, Tom Waits, Artie Lange, Pras... also it's extremely funny

The only hand to hand fight I can even really remember was the elevator fight and that was just a less interesting version of the Daredevil hallway fight.

Tim and Eric still have adult swim shows. They are still great. Final space was canceled which sucks. I don't know if they finished the story. It was a stupid buy enjoyable show. Joe Pera is good.
