With all the racist, transphobic, and troll threads on this board you would have never predicted a thread about The Matrix would infuriate someone to the point of complaining and bitching about it

You are still contradicting yourself. Which is it, dude?

Or making a trenchant point about your ignorance and your reliance on AI.
The irony is rich that YOU don't see you are playing out the lead up to the Matrix in real time.
That's how I know you are an intellectual faker. You can't understand SIMPLE METAPHOR.
And lo, the lord told his follower, @Cypress, to fuck the planet over. So here's Cypress doing his lord's business.

Most of the 1950 SF movies followed the "Overcoming the monster" plot. Fun to watch as a kid, but a little simple-minded for adults. No doubt the MAGA morons and 'Tards would enjoy them. LOL1950s sci-fi
I liked some of those cheesy 1950s sci first flicks when I was a little kid. Giant tarantulas are cool!Most of the 1950 SF movies followed the "Overcoming the monster" plot. Fun to watch as a kid, but a little simple-minded for adults. No doubt the MAGA morons and 'Tards would enjoy them. LOL
As an adult I really can't put them in the same league as Blade Runner, Matrix, Aliens, Arrival, Independence Day, Contact, Terminator, etc.
Agreed that later movies were much better. SF died out in favor of westerns for a few decades in the 60s and early 70s. Star Wars brought it back. Star Wars allowed Battlestar Galactica to come to television. Even it was a little cheesy, but still fun. The remake series was a big leap forward in sophistication.
Why do you say that? CLEARLY the messages of dystopian sci fi like the Matrix is LOST on you. You are here actively trying to make the Matrix a reality with your profligate use of AI.
The irony is so deep and rich.
I honestly hope someone makes a screenplay about morons like you who overuse AI, destroy the planet and usher in the unfettered use of AI to destroy the economy and the lives of countless people.
And yet you claim you are thinking about the message???
Star Trek was the only reasonably good sci-fi in the 1960s, but I agree with you that there was a dry spell before good sci-fi started making an appearance in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Edit to add 1969's 2001 A Space Odessy is considered a cinematic masterpiece.
Why don't you tell us about the deep messages in Disney's "The Black Hole". It had ROBOTS in it!
Make sure to hit up AI!
And, of course, you think that as well because "it is considered" to be that by others.
I found it to be an incomprehensible mess at the end. While a good movie, atmospheric, interesting, it still went off the fuckin' rails. I'm sure that level of incomprehensibility plays well to your overlysimplistic mind because to the unintelligent, such as yourself, incomprehensible = smart.
You're probably one of those dreadful hipsters with a poster of "The Holy Mountain" in you mom's basement where you live.
Star Trek was great but it only lasted 3 years and struggled to find an audience since the network moved it from Thursday nights to the Friday night 10PM dead zone in the second season. It struggled before being canceled after the third season despite protests from fans.
Agreed on 2001, but it was too cerebral for most audiences.
Good point. It was under appreciated by the network, but hindsight makes it look revolutionary for the time period.
In some ways it was an 'art' film, but if one reads the Arthur C. Clark novel before seeing the movie it locks into place.
True. Like classic art, most aren't appreciated until they are over.
Which is exactly what I'd done; read both the short story and the novel before seeing the movie at a Saturday matinee in early 80s California. I sat behind two young women and overheard one say to the other "what's going on?" It flashed in my mind exactly what you said about reading the novel first.
Exactly right.
My best friend was confused by the movie, but I told him to read the novel. Which he did. Then when he saw the film the second time it made a lot more sense to him.
