We had started our Matrix marathon this week.. one movie each night. We'll be watching the 3rd today.. and then tomorrow the new one!

We have the trilogy on DVD, which I keep meaning to re-watch. It will be interesting to hear people's thoughts on the new one..

I will share my thoughts but i know a lot have not seen it yet so i am holding off.

You can use the spoiler button, it's next to the smileys at the top.. it's the smiley with the finger over the mouth lol it can hide anything that might be a spoiler, so then you can give a review or input and hide anything that you don't want people to be able to see on accident.. they'd have to click to see, and then they spoil themselves xD

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler Alert!}like so

It is somewhat dated now but the film has not lost it's appeal with me.

The Matrix 4... I thought it was cute. It had a different vibe to me than the other movies, and it was almost more like a comedy version mixed with action, which I was okay with. I usually like those type of movies anyway. It was definitely nostalgic.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler Alert!}I do like that now there is a happy ending to the story instead of what we were left with in the third movie. I felt kind of deprived of that from the third one, but the 4th one made me happy to know Neo and Trinity are together again and that the future was actually better. We never got to see exactly what happened after them "ending the war" or if the war really did end in the third. It was kind of like watching a "fast-forward" that could have had parts added into the third movie to really complete it for us, but instead they waited 20 years and turned it into a long movie.

My take on it.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler Alert!}
It was actually my least favorite. I thought it moved too slowly for my liking but it did bring everything into focus and left us with a kind of happy ending which the others didn't. Overall 3 and a half stars.

I didn't like the ending, so I came up with another one. Then when I told the boys, we had fun with all the crazy ideas they had for different ways to end the movie.

I think Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan are still my favourites in the Bond role. I'd like to see the Nomi character as the next Bond, taking the name on for herself...

I watched Doctor Who last night. To me it was confusing twaddle. It just didn't work, trying to get deep relationship issues into a short time related situation in which survival is the goal. It actually gave me sympathy for the Daleks who had to put up with it.

Yes, I think they have but I cannot remember the details. I think it is more of cloning and they grow in a somewhat similar manner to Borg offspring in artificial wombs to fully developed adults. With the Daleks though it is a pool of goo.

On a quick glance I found this site which seems to confirm it: www.spanglefish.com/DalekWorld/index.asp?pageid=647861

Edit: I later checked on Borg offspring as I remember babies but they are only captured. It does make me wonder why the Borg do not use cloning? That question seems to have been raised elsewhere on the Internet but it's not the question here lol

The daleks (if I remember ) came from Skaro and were Kaleds mutated by the effects of 1000 years of nuclear war and that Davros invented the armour plating that surrounded the mutant that was left.

Borg assimilate that is their way so that each species individual traits and intelligence can be added to their own. to assimilate is to gather knowledge therefore cloning would only weaken them.

I liked Frozen, but one movie was enough and I just wasn't ready for there to be another. Not sure why that is... Olaf is my favourite character.

I do love to say "Let it go" a lot and then someone will be complaining about the song right away.

It did get overplayed there for a while, but I was happy to see it on one of Pentatonix's Christmas CDs.
