The Matrix didn't have any sequels.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh! I know this one, Alex! It's "What does The Matrix have in common with The Highlander?", isn't it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Crazy. And. Wrongheaded. All of you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
And as I said on FB, I loved Burlesque with every speck of glitter in my soul.

So you're saying that Glitter left a stain in your soul that won't come off?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw the movie created to push all of my "like" buttons, The King's Speech, and it was AWESOME. Colin Firth = sexy oscarbait; Script = literate and involving, period details = heavenly.

The lack of caps was intentional. Never seen Glitter, plan to keep it that way. Burlesque was awesome in several ways. Dancing, singing, costumes, makeup, and sistas doing it for themselves. Plus, Tucci was delightful, Cher and Christina were divatastic, and Cam Gigandet was good enough eye candy for me.

Heh. Easy A disappointed me in that I'd heard he was supposed to be hot stuff and then when I saw for myself my reaction was "That's who all those people were lusting over? Why?"
However, I feel Jake Gyllenhaal has fulfilled my eye candy quota for the month of December, freeing me to watch movies without considering how attractive the stars therein may be.

As I said on Twitter, as much fun as Tron Legacy was, I understand now how most people feel about the Matrix sequels. I still think you're all crazy and wrongheaded, but I get now where the hate and eye-rolling come from.
I don't understand this because (a) only the second sequel sucked, and I think that was due to how they paced the movie and (b) the first TRON is nothing I find remotely sacred.
Christ, Lucas did more damage to the Star Wars legacy with JEDI than he did with the prequels in my opinion. One word: Ewoks. Jar Jar and the stupid pod race commentators wasn't that far a fall at that point.
