Matrix, Joey Pants
Apr. 24, 2009
It just never happened to occur to me until I watched this but Joey Pantoliano has been in a lot of my favorite things. THE MATRIX, one of my all-time favorite movies, and The Sopranos, probably my favorite ever television show (outside of Lost, obviously). Anyway, The Hudson Union Society had him talk about a bunch of stuff, one of which is the downfall of THE MATRIX sequels:
"...it worked, so of course all of these bankers and studio heads saturated the market with it so that by the time that THE MATRIX number 2 came out we were so sick of it, we were so looking for the smoke and mirrors that the Wachowskis were copying themselves. And they had the benefit of tricking the audience the very first time, that's why we loved that movie because we had never seen it before, because it blew our minds. But it couldn't blow our minds twice."
I can actually still enjoy the MATRIX sequels every now and then, but I do feel that they are just simply not as good as the original was. And they do not age well. Unlike your mom. And to think I was worried I wouldn't be able to come up with a punch-line for this story. I really underestimate myself.

GENIUS
Other then that it's all a blur. The first one I've got memorized and just got on Blu Ray, which by the way looks awesome.

Awesome TIdbit
hmmm...
i still agree though that the first was the best, but thats because "origin"
i still agree though that the first was the best, but thats because "origin" stories are ALWAYS the best, just look at how hollywood works these days (batman begins, casino royale, star trek etc). aint it obvious?! We love origin stories.Its just sad that the sequels were too ambitious. I think that if the wachowski bors made each movie one at a time, instead of combining the development of 2 and 3, they would have turned out much better.

The Sequels Sucked
That's not the point
Those sequels are good movies. They aren't as good as the first, but they make the first movie even better. It's too bad that people just want to trip out with the Matrix because there's such depth to each of those films that (for me) they're impossible to become
