Out of this world

*Cue X-Files theme music*

Now, I'm largely against the deification of any public figures. It's much too far a leap to idolize an individual based on their public persona. Look at Elon Musk as an example. A few years back, the internet treated him as some sort of real-life Tony Stark. An individual who was fighting for a brighter technological future for the world. But guess what? He ended up being an unhinged, cringe, attention-seeking megalomaniac. Never take famous people at face value. That being said, I'm willing to…

Happy Monday, sci-fi nerds, geeks, and everything in between! It is, once again, that time of the week when we deliver the content for your necessary nerdy hankering . What's your favorite sci-fi franchise ? The obvious choices are either Star Trek or Star Wars—Trekkies versus Star Wars fans, a tale as old as time. Whether or not you are partial to any side of fandom, you have to admit there are some pretty stellar sci-fi franchises besides the big two, right? Me? I'm a huge fan of The Matrix s…

"He’s gonna grow up and be like, 'these classic movies are awfully familiar....'"

There's a somewhat infamous /tv/ “favorite movie lines” thread on 4chan in which someone humorously misquoted a character from American Psycho saying, "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!" Another user replied, “He didn't say that,” escalating the thread into a barrage of ironic shitposts inspired by the OP's American Psycho joke. For example, an image of Frodo captioned, “That's why I'm the Lord of the Rings , not you Sam.” Putting movie titles in movie lines has since become a p…

'They did the Matrix on a cow'

'I shoulda never smoked that sh*t' has graduated to 'oh sh*t I took both pills'

Cracked returns to the The Matrix: Resurrections with only $20 in their hands. After all this time.

'Matrix' star reveals feelings about Metaverse, cryptocurrency, and VR

As was the case for many older millennials , my cousin and I were intensely obsessed with The Matrix . We'd dress up and recite lines from the 1999 action film, writhing as we pretended to dodge bullets. We also learned that wearing sunglasses indoors can lead to injuries, but as tweens we didn't really care. We just wanted to pretend we were slick action heroes with a very important mission. While I can't speak for “kids these days,” it definitely seems like this specific brand of nerdiness ha…

Who couldn't love this dude?

Since Warner Bros launched that trippy interactive website on Tuesday, the internet has been literally shaking in anticipation for the full Matrix Resurrections trailer. Well the wait is over for all the Matrix -pilled fans out there. So Neo and Trinity have aged and appear to be experiencing amnesia in a sterile-looking San Francisco, while younger versions of Morpheus and the Oracle still seem to know what's going on. What does it all mean? Has the Matrix literally rebooted? In the last movie…

What is real? How do you define ‘real?’ On WhatIsTheMatrix.com , the new interactive website promoting The Matrix Resurrections , the choice is yours. Reality can be whatever you want. All you have to do is click the red pill or the blue pill. At first, the website seems to offer a simple choice between two different teasers. But after spending some time on the site, it becomes clear that there's a lot more going on. For one, the footage generated is different depending on the minute you click,…
