So, I finally picked up my DivX Matrix today. Honestly, I heard the quality was absolute trash, but I figured I had to see it just to wrap the whole thing up. So, I popped the disc into my PC and let's go. Turns out, the movie was ripped so poorly it looked like garbage. Whatever, though—I can deal with that. But then, about ten minutes in, two American guys (probably the ones who actually filmed the thing, right?) start talking through the whole movie. Seriously, who goes to a theater to talk? I managed to swallow my pride and ignore them, but then, after half an hour, they start rustling their snack bags like crazy. If I’d been sitting closer to them, they would have seen both the bags and heard the chatter, but since I wasn't right on top of them, I survived. But right when Neo was about to absolutely wreck Mr. Smith, one of them stands up to go to the bathroom. That was it—I lost it. I am not letting some random Americans ruin this for me, so I’m just going to wait for the DVD instead. If anyone else has had a similarly annoying experience, feel free to share it with the group. Anyway, bye.
You can add movies to your cart first just to see what the shipping costs look like ahead of time. Around here, they hit you with extra customs fees too—by the end of it, you're paying as much for a single DVD as you would if you were just buying it locally in Washington, D.C.

I actually really dig how the system works right now, though!
But over in Germany? It’s a nightmare. You get these tiny two-seater seats where you sit down, and either you're stuck next to someone amazing, or some Chinese person who "smells" like garlic—so yeah, have fun with that!

Seriously, what on earth? For the love of everything holy, whyyyyy?
Hey, if anyone out there has the full PJ Harvey discography (and maybe some bootlegs or live recordings too) and feels like being a legend, could you hit me up via PM? Please!
I've got them—just like any other independent woman. 😛
This movie is absolutely incredible!👍 I had such a blast watching this, and honestly, Leonardo DiCaprio stole the show. He plays his part so perfectly (exactly how Steven Spielberg intended) by showing that he’s always got everything under control, especially during that hilarious scene where he’s posing as a fake professor, and then just carries that energy through the whole film. The contrast between his actual persona and the cover story he puts on is fascinating. Everyone just falls for his charm and how convincing he is—even Tom Hanks, who looks like a total amateur and a complete fool 😛 when things go sideways, up to that guy who’s basically acting like a father-in-law-to-be waiting to hand over his daughter...😉 Then again, it’s not just about the attitude; it's his raw talent, sharp intuition, and sheer cunning that make him great. Bottom line—this movie is a solid five stars! 👍

There isn't even a real plot, nothing makes sense... it’s basically just pure misery.👎
I seriously regret wasting my time on this thing.
I'm with you there. It’s such an exhausting watch—just mindless commercial fluff that goes nowhere. But hey, Russell Crowe? I mean, who could say no to him?😉
