It certainly overshadowed (and embarrassed) much of Star Wars, leaving a much bigger cultural footprint.

heh I remember when the first photos of the Xmen movie came out and everyone booed at the all black Matrix ripoff costumes

Remember that WB had Wild Wild West as their big 4th July movie, and The Matrix was just sort of shrugged off as a spring release!?

The extended action scene from Neo with the medieval weapons to Morpheus fighting those ghost dudes to the freeway chase to the Kung fu on top of the truck…it's all fucking amazing

Think of all that free kitty litter she gets!

Ojai

Noooo the Katherine Heigl movie has been RUINED, I tell you, RUINED!

Piss off.

Eh, I wouldn't say no. Quantum of Solace was like 90% fast-mo, could have used some slowing down

Don't worry I'm not one of THOSE people. It's campy, it's silly, its the 60s.

Lionsgate presents JASON STATHAM as Ian Fleming's James Bond in OI, GUVNA

24 had Jack Bauer sawing off a head.

Oh God no…after that last revival, I'm done. It just didn't work.

Shaq-Fu or GTFO

Ha, they could probably just skip over that part. (And of all the things to include from the novel in the original film, they go with THAT!)

Well hey she just tweeted "I didn't do all those squats for nothing" so it appears to be the genuine article, your honor!

Whaddayou say we BOND over a little contraction negotations, eh?
