Reloaded and Revolutions was one of those cases where a movie was so huge that they decided to make two sequels back to back.
The first movie would sometimes dip into weird metaphysics but it kept to its theme enough to remain in your head. It’s a fairly straightforward monomyth hero’s journey plot with themes of destiny versus agency.
The sequels were crammed full of pointless “lots of shit happens on screen” action scenes and pseudophilosophic drivel.







There is a movie called Club Paradise. Mid-80’s comedy starring Robin Williams and Jimmy Cliff, Twiggy, a bunch of 80’s comedy regulars, Peter O’Toole is in it. The plot of the film is local honest people vs corrupt government and business, but minute to minute it’s mostly a spring break shenanigans movie starring a bunch of adults? Like, Rick Moranis and Eugene Levy play a pair of potheads named Barry and Barry who repeatedly fail to score weed and chicks.
It has mostly negative reviews, but I’m fond of it. It DOES NOT work as a cinema film, I cannot imagine going to a theater, sitting reverently and quietly as it boomed down at me, but it works on TV as “let’s put a tape in while we’re getting ready for Family Saturday Afternoon Hobby Outing/waiting for Family Saturday Afternoon Hobby Venue to open.”
