#10 Because you need an Operator to HACK into the Matrix. The machines can send you an invite obviously.

#34 The main change I can think of I would be adding Duel of Fates to scene 38 (the Obiwan Vader fight).

The lego death star was built by a flat earther! The center of gravity is the center, not the freacking bottom ! How does it even work in space???

#28 How we feeling about Alien Earth?

Meh? Looks great, acting is good, but I just haven't seen anything to get me hooked. Reminds me a bit of the Dune show. Great pre-existing universe, but the show never really lives up to what it could be. I'll still finish watching it, and I'd love for it to get better and I end up being wrong about it.

Everything feels kind of off with it, but I'm entertained? I do like all the background stuff, but some of the dialogue is awkward, and the musical choices aren't for me. I'll definitely watch the whole thing.

#1 there was the flaw right there. Krennic shouldn’t have displayed working plans of the Death Star at ImpCon.

#10 wasnt there a thing where he either automated it, or basically allowed an agent to remotely "dial" him in? 🤔

Turns out George Lucas has terrible editing skills without his first wife.

Not to mention terrible story telling instincts. I am still pissed off about the Han Solo/Greedo interaction change.

#34 One of the best purchases I ever made was when they re-mastered the Star Wars movie for a brief period there was a version that had a re-mastered but theatrical release on DVD.

Instead of something like this, we get a slice of it. Buy ten, to get a full death star/tube

Hahahaha right?? The longer you look at it the worse it gets. Why is she only wearing an apron? Is she cooking or...? Who else is there? Is it just Ash??

#10 I always thought he figured out how to automate the jack-in/jack-out process and that's what he was actually doing when he had that one scene with Neo where he played off like he was just watching porn. That's why he was so startled when Neo "snuck up" on him.

I would just assume it's easier and can be done solo if the machines are letting you into the Matrix.

7 months ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

There's that, but I also don't know where it's "firmly established" that the operator is necessary. Highly recommended or beneficial, sure. But there are very few "rules" established regarding how those phones work.

7 months ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

Not to mention the possibility that some element of "the matrix" actually helped. Maybe you need an Operator to jack into the matrix without being noticed, and doing so without was basically a beacon for Agent Smith.

7 months ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Eh, I tend towards the simpler answer that it's just a matter of it being incredibly dangerous and stupid to do it without an operator. If (or rather, when) your main phone exit gets compromised/destroyed, then what? The only thing different about Cypher's tryst was that the machines/Smith wanted him to enter/exit unharmed.

#11 posts a meme about not up voting AI art

Just because it's CGI doesn't mean it's AI. Is Toy Story AI? No.

This is a video from someone who has done a LOT of CGI animations.

Wow, an AI video from 4 years ago... https://www.instagram.com/richybeachy/reel/CUkoIX9o-4j/

I'm a clown because I called you a hypocrite for saying don't upvoter AI art and then posting AI art and because I didn't know that the AI art you posted is from a meta product post from four years ago? C'mon you can do better than that. you're not even attempting to dispute my claim, you're just immediately going to name calling aka ad hominem attacks? If you're gonna troll you gotta be better than that, this is just sad.

lol, oh man - no shade, seriously - I meant to say "NOT an AI video" - that's totally on me. Apologies, honestly. I don't believe it's AI - if I did, wouldn't have posted it. I think I need some caffeine or something.

I think we both misinterpreted, then. Im right there with you, too tired. I do agree four years ago would be hard pressed to be AI but damn if it doesn't look sus, but tbh that's half the fucking problem I have with AI these days. Personal issue, shouldn't have said anything if I wasn't sure. Thank you for this, and I apologize for getting heated as well.
