Ah, thanks guys, I appreciate it.
It is said that evil men have no songs. Why is it, then, that the Russians sing songs?

There is no place around me playing it on IMAX.  I was thinking of hitting a road trip to Virginia to see it.  Has anyone seen it on IMAX and can give me a sense of the moivie on the BIG SCREEN?

Quote from: XixaxI saw it for the second time last night, this time in an IMAX theater, and I was once again awed. The sound design, the effects - all of it was simply amazing, and the IMAX transfer was flawless.

I know a lot of you have already spoiled Revolutions for yourselves, so, without spoiling it for me, can you say whether someone who has enjoyed parts 1 and 2 will be very pleased with the way Rev handles everything?

I don't think anyone's posted this yet

Quentin Tarantino:  "I get, like, really bored with it [cgi]. In 'Titanic' it was great but now I just feel like I'm watching a video game. I don't buy it. I think it's lazy and lame. I'm supposed to be impressed because they're doing it with a computer? I'm sorry. I'm not impressed. For 'Kill Bill', we had the cream of the crop of Hong Kong and the cream of the crop of America doing it and I'm here to tell you, that's the cream of the crop! While everybody else was messing around with computers, we were doing it with real human beings! The Matrix Reloaded? I have to say I was disappointed with it. I still liked it but I loved the first one. I saw the first one 12 times, but I can't imagine sitting through the first 20 minutes of Zion ever again! Yeah, I was a little disappointed."

Finally caught it last night at a drive-in; I enjoyed the idea of witnessing this particular cultural moment in a suitably perverse lo-fi venue.

I liked it. It was, indeed, a non-stop thrill ride. I usually don't care for those, because they're so often mindless. This wasn't mindless; in addition to the adrenalin provocations, it had some simple yet honorable and effective metaphysical/intellectual heft to it.

It'll hardly be the Film Event of the Year for me (that honor is so far reserved for bathing in the sacrosanct glow of Morvern Callar), but it surpasses passable.

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

I generally agree with Tarantino about CGI, but I think they did a decent enough job with it in Reloaded. It didn't look so terribly phony most of the time, to me.

well i don't. i still do not see what the big deal is w/ ppl and the first 20 mins. of this movie. the zion parts were so fucking well done, setting the tone and stuff. morpheus and his speech? the sexy sex scene? what is not to like? and quentin with kill bill- bah. we'll see about that. just wait for revolutions, all the haters will be silenced.
