- Suchmann, on 10/10/2007, -2/+51Poor, poor Mr. Quick.
- sUGArDawg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28I have a man-crush on him
- schizogony, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25I actually just blind bought this DVD a few weeks ago after hearing so many good things about it. I think I might as well watch it now out of fear of not being considered a REAL man.
- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24"Dark City" is in the title. Better recognize.
- RetlawST, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23When I first watched The Matrix, I was like, "I've seen this before..."
- hollismb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20If you've never seen it, I highly recommend you do, but skip the intro voiceover by Kiefer Sutherland prior to the title, (probably chapter one of the DVD if I'm not mistaken). It explains too much (not unlike the end text of Unbreakable), and the first time I saw it I thought the movie was more awesome because I was confused as hell, just like the main character.
- msiner, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Dark City was good, but just felt incomplete. It just seemed to zoom by all of the details of the setting to finish the story and reach the happy ending. The Matrix explored the settings and history more, but still managed to pull of a story that could have a sequel that lead to the happy ending (or whatever that ending was), but did not need one (it especially didn't need the ones that it got). If you couldn't tell, I like "The Matrix", but was not too thrilled with Reloaded or Revolutions.
- devin_mm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Real men don't need to know what "Real men" love.
- Bara, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Was it a glitch?
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14KILTS DAMNIT!!! THOSE ARE KILTS!!!!
- dracostimpy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Ass to ass!
- Ninjao, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14First there was darkness, then came the strangers.
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13That was just a glitch in the matrix. Ignore it.
- reeder, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Because the movie is awesome and weird as hell.
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Carrie Moss isn't all that hot....
- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12I watched "Dark City" with some friends of mine and warned them that the Matrix is pretty much just a rip-off. To this day they still mention Dark City and how great it was.
- cookdsc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Real men wear skirts
- InfinitySnatch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10"Cuning"? Your hearing must be cerrible.
- adolfojp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I've seen it many times but I still can't manage to find Shell Beach.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8good movie but buried you for the spoiler
- FearlessFreep, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Buried, because Dark City was an awesome movie but not something I would think fits into an inane doubleviking "Real Men Love" article (and my wife liked the movie)
But great movie (watched it with two weeks of 13th Floor and Existenz and was really questioning reality that month :) - gossipninja, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9You mean like Equilibrium? That has much better action then the matrix and almost NO love stateside. seriously, gun-fu and krav maga. I think Christian Bale's character has one of the highest movie body counts of all time, something like 118. Darkcity did "whats real" better then the matrix, and equilibrium did better action.
- garblefung, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10DC is a classic, right up there with Blade Runner.
- anonym41414, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Are we seriously going to talk about who had the so-called "bullet time" effect first? As far as I know, the technique was invented by a British special effects house in 1994 for use in a television commercial that aired in the UK. They set up a bunch of 35mm still cameras all along a track and fired the shutters at one time, then scanned the film and sequenced the frames to create a simulated freeze-frame camera move.
Of course, the basic idea goes back to Muybridge, but he used it very differently, in lieu of motion-picture film. - hollismb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7You know why you had to get buried.
- MemeWarrior, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7No more Mr. Quick! Mr. Quick dead...
- diversionmary, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I woke up in a bathtub on the thirteenth floor with a tooth shooting bone gun. I got a coffee and drove my car to the city's limit.
- THX8612, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"When the Rumba rythmn start to play,
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me" - SenorCardgage74, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Looks like a dude that is also a horse.
A horse dude - Veritate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6That's not a great debate.
- CaughtThinking, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Great movie, and definitely underrated. I remember being moved and somewhat horrified when I watched it. The Matrix definitely borrowed *alot* from it.
- phazon88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The plot in Equilibrium was poor though.
- InfinitySnatch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6You're kidding! Me and the Mrs. spent our honeymoon there. All you gotta do is take Main Street West to... or is it the Cross... You know, that's funny, I can't remember if it's Main Street West or the Crosstown.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Dark City is more about who we are is in the sum of all our memories, which is I guess a way of saying do our events make us or does who we are drive how we react to events
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6The Matrix was live action anime.
- TKDEE, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7I've often thought this exact same thing many times over. I remember when the Matrix first came out I thought, "Man that was a lot like Dark City, but with more special effects, more action, but not as good plot wise." Dark City still remains the only movie I've bought on both VHS and DVD (because I never bought too many VHS movies).
- Anth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I worked at the movie theater when Dark City came out and some of the other people who worked there went to that movie and were like "apparently you have to be smart to understand that movie". Remember that the next time you go to a movie theater and wonder about the people working there.
- adolfojp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5You watched Lexx?
Pervert. :-P - norman619, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4BREAK YOURSELF!!!
- SenorCardgage74, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I think you mean her "codpiece'
Looks like a dood - phamtasm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It was always been one of my favorites. A good movie that wasn't overshadowed by any particular actor. Matrix was good, but Dark City was great. That said, you may want to watch the movie with the beginning narration muted...
- FearlessFreep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Watch the Director commentary; the director basically attributes some of the "now we're in an action movie" feel of the ending to budget/time constraints that kept the ending from going for the same spookiness of the rest of the movie. That and you got the feel that a lot was left unsaid for the sake of the lack of getting a solid bearing on what's around you
- dagnabbit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No time off for good behavior.
- dracostimpy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Have they done a "Real Men Love 'Repo Man'" yet? If not, get on it PRONTO, DoubleViking dudes!
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5But it can't hold a candle to the weirdness of that scifi show Lexx.
- SublimeRuin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Amazing Flick. Died at the time under the pressure of The Crow....
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Anyone remember The 13th Floor or eXistenZ? They both came out a few months before the Martix did.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Good description. And Dark City by comparison was noir-detective comic book with a twilight-zone/sci-fi undertone
- batman88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I agree. Saw it a few years ago (post-Matrix) and hardly remember it...
I may give it another shot, but I doubt it. -
