[25.14 --> 29.12] oh, come at the frog here. Maybe we're going to do the man show like this. Oh, that's a great |
[29.12 --> 32.76] Jordan Peterson impression. Jordan Peterson, I don't even know who that is. Is that a reference |
[32.76 --> 37.26] that I should get? Is he famous? Yeah. Or she? I guess Jordan's one of those names that can go |
[37.26 --> 44.60] either way. All right, so we've got a great show for you guys today. Well, I mean, James is here, |
[44.60 --> 49.50] so it'll be an adequate show for you guys today. We've got new Google Glasses to talk about. |
[51.76 --> 57.60] EVGA is apparently ditching CDs. Next week, a mop just... |
[57.60 --> 63.12] We don't actually, we didn't even have a mop. We had a broom. We did have a mop. We had a broom handle |
[63.12 --> 70.78] with a wig on it. Almost as good. A dozen employees quit Google in protest against a military project. |
[70.78 --> 78.56] And what else we got? Possibly new Google Glasses. It's still prototype phase. And EVGA, |
[78.94 --> 84.24] not giving you DVDs anymore. Going to give you USB sticks instead. Wait, how do you not have the |
[84.24 --> 89.92] YouTube Red thing in here? That is like the biggest news of this week. I go to our forum. |
[90.80 --> 94.80] I look what's on the front page of the forum. Then when I exhaust the forum, I go to my other favorite |
[95.52 --> 102.80] ours, TechCrunch, The Verge, Bloomberg. That must be on there. It's not. Okay, |
[102.80 --> 107.20] well, we're going to talk about that too. You're going to wing it. And I'm going to sit back and just take it in. |
[107.20 --> 111.76] It's good. |
[111.76 --> 113.76] Yeah. |
[113.76 --> 114.24] Music. |
[116.48 --> 119.04] Yeah. You're just, you're just talking over the music. |
[120.48 --> 124.40] It's good. It's terrible. No, it's good. No, it's terrible. People hate it. No, they love it. |
[124.40 --> 128.24] No, they hate it. Have you ever watched the, have you ever not been on the WAN show and watched it? |
[128.24 --> 133.44] Because I lived my life before I worked here doing that. And I liked it. I liked when you guys talk |
[133.44 --> 138.72] during that. PIA. I think you were the only one. Oh yeah. We probably should have had that on the |
[138.72 --> 146.64] screening before we hired people. Like, do you like it or dislike it when we talk over the intro music |
[146.64 --> 150.96] on the WAN show? And that's, so. That's disqualifying if you like it. Okay. So here's the thing. |
[151.92 --> 160.32] When we hire, we usually do some kind of a skill testing quiz. And there are answers that if you |
[160.32 --> 166.64] get them wrong, your application gets immediately put into a bin. This guy likes the Matrix sequels. |
[168.00 --> 175.36] It's. I did, I did like that. Okay, that actually would. What? Okay. I was younger. Are you serious? |
[175.36 --> 179.92] I was younger than you when they came out for one. And it might only be three years, |
[179.92 --> 185.44] but that makes a difference when you're talking about like a 14 year old. No, they were so bad. |
[186.80 --> 191.60] They should have. Okay. They're, they're different. They're, they're different. Okay. What were, |
[191.60 --> 197.68] were there, were there two sequels or three sequels? Well, there are three movies. So two sequels. |
[197.68 --> 204.72] Okay. So which, hold on a second. So Reloaded and Revolutions both came out in 2003. |
[205.84 --> 211.20] And is Reloaded the one with the two weird twins? Yes. Well, they're in both movies. Okay. |
[211.92 --> 218.56] So don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't even make it through the second one, |
[218.56 --> 223.44] let alone watch the third one, which I heard was much worse. The third one is worse. |
[224.40 --> 228.08] Okay. You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater because yes, |
[228.08 --> 235.84] hear me out. Okay. What's the baby? The baby is like one of the best car chases in cinema history. |
[236.40 --> 241.68] Kick-ass fight scenes. Like there's parts of the matrix that aren't just the like counterculture |
[241.68 --> 245.68] and cool story. There's parts of it that make it a good movie. Like the Kung Fu and the fight |
[245.68 --> 252.56] choreography are sweet. And they're really sweet in that movie. Yeah. So the, is the photography good too? |
[252.56 --> 256.24] The photography, the lithography. What about the cinematography? |
[257.52 --> 261.84] The cinematic. Whoa, I can't even do that one. I had to think about it for a little bit. |
[261.84 --> 268.96] Also, okay. There's a part where he fights a pile of CG agent Smiths that looks like dog junk now, |
[268.96 --> 274.40] but that was good. When it came out, it was cutting edge. |
[274.40 --> 285.12] Oh, good Lordy. So, okay. I'll admit that watching that then I didn't get that. Cause okay. Honestly, |
[286.48 --> 294.96] the worst, the worst instances of like CGI aging badly and it really taking you out of the experience |
[294.96 --> 302.16] are when you see the evolution of computer graphics over the course of a series of movies. |
[302.16 --> 306.00] Yeah. Okay. So I think like Lord of the Rings did a pretty good job of this where even though the |
[306.00 --> 308.56] movies were released years apart. Yeah, but they filmed them at the same time. |
[308.56 --> 312.40] Did they film them all at the same time? Yeah, but they would have done the like post-processing later |
[312.40 --> 318.48] though. Like I know for a fact that scene in Return of the King where they're like surrounded by the |
[318.48 --> 324.64] entire army of like orcs and stuff. I know for a fact that was done like towards the end. |
[324.64 --> 328.96] And that scene probably wouldn't have even been possible with the computer hardware that was |
[328.96 --> 333.92] available when fellowship came out. Like that was a really, really demanding thing. Cause every single |
[333.92 --> 340.08] one of those had like some kind of like reactionary AI or something. So I heard they, |
[340.08 --> 346.16] I remember reading this article where they had a really hard time getting the, um, the heroes to not |
[346.16 --> 351.84] like try to break out and run away or something like they had to force them to stay inside this ring. |
[351.84 --> 352.72] Oh, I see. |
[352.72 --> 355.76] Cause they, cause they were like self-preservation things. Anyway, |
[355.76 --> 360.64] apparently it was part of the way that they did like the really large scale, uh, like overviews of |
[360.64 --> 367.76] the battlefield. Anyway. Um, so one of the series that really suffered from this for me is, |
[367.76 --> 372.56] uh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, people are, people are, |
[372.56 --> 375.84] are spoilers. We're talking about the Lord of the, and the matrix. |
[375.84 --> 383.04] 99 people, uh, people are mad. Cause we're not talking about tech. Okay. We are talking about |
[383.04 --> 390.64] technology and movies. Technically that is tech. Also like the Venn diagram is almost completely |
[390.64 --> 394.96] overlapped with this audience and Lord of the Rings and these movies. Like, how can you be? |
[394.96 --> 399.20] Anyway, anyway. Okay. So, uh, where was I going with this? Right. The Harry Potter movies, |
[399.20 --> 405.92] movies because not only were the first two and especially the first one done for sure, |
[405.92 --> 413.12] like before the later ones, because obviously that's how it works. Um, except Star Wars. So, |
[413.12 --> 420.08] okay. That's a thing. Uh, shut up. Not only that, but they were way lower budget. Like you can really |
[420.08 --> 424.16] tell looking at them and you're like, Oh wow. They like weren't even really trying with some of this |
[424.16 --> 428.64] stuff. I remember being a child and seeing the first one and thinking that it was pretty good. Me too. |
[428.64 --> 432.24] That troll came on screen. But like, if it's cutting edge for the time, that's in the second one. But |
[432.24 --> 435.76] Oh wait, is that? No, you're right. That isn't the first one. Yeah. So, so yeah, it was, no, |
[435.76 --> 439.44] no, I don't even think that was top of the line at the time, but it was like pretty good. So they |
[439.44 --> 443.44] were lower budget. They were done earlier. And I went back and rewatched the entire thing. Cause |
[443.44 --> 448.72] they had like a box at Costco with the whole thing. And I bought it cause I'm an idiot. Um, and I was |
[448.72 --> 455.28] like, wow, these are kids movies. And then prisoner of Azkaban rolls around. You're like, Oh yeah. Now that's one. Yeah. |
[455.28 --> 460.96] Now they're like real movies all of a sudden. Um, so do you think they should do a re-release |
[460.96 --> 464.28] like they did with Star Wars where they up like remaster it, make the graphics better? |
[464.72 --> 474.60] You know what? Because aside from Daniel Ratcliffe, Emma, whatever her name is, Watson, thank you. |
[474.60 --> 479.72] And then redhead guy, whatever. Yeah. I don't know if anyone knows. Universal Ginge, the most |
[479.72 --> 484.36] famous ginger ever. Yeah. What does he like drive a bus now or something? What? Yeah. I heard he |
[484.36 --> 488.12] like got out of show business and he just wanted to like drive a bus. That'd be sweet. Yeah. |
[488.12 --> 492.04] Donald Day Lewis moved to Italy for like five years. Just make shoes at one point. Yeah. Anyway, um, |
[492.84 --> 499.96] because aside from their acting getting markedly better also, like you could probably, you could, |
[499.96 --> 504.20] you could re-CGI it. I think you could actually make it a significantly more immersive movie. |
[504.20 --> 508.04] Hmm. We should get George Lucas on it. He should be on the team. Just oversee it. You know, he's got |
[508.04 --> 512.92] experience in this. He's does a good job. He does a hell of a job when he undertakes those projects. |
[512.92 --> 518.84] Anyway, back to Agent Smith. Um, I will agree with you that at the time that didn't pull me out of |
[518.84 --> 522.84] the movie. Like I felt like that's pretty cool. Wow. It really looks like he's fighting a bunch of |
[522.84 --> 527.64] Agent Smiths. That was still a terrible movie. Well, that's the thing is a lot of people, the immersion |
[527.64 --> 531.88] not being broken for me. A lot of people just hate the fact that he fought a bunch of agents. Oh, |
[531.88 --> 537.88] I was actually okay with that because I was also a kid. Okay. Yeah. No, it was, I, that's like far |
[537.88 --> 541.96] from the worst part of that movie. It was just awful. What is the worst part? Is it when he has powers |
[541.96 --> 547.88] outside of the matrix at the end? Spoiler. Uh, cause that's, I think like the biggest division between |
[547.88 --> 552.20] the first one and the sequels. I, I, you know what? I'm going to be honest with you. I don't remember |
[552.20 --> 556.76] it well enough. I just remember it being freaking awful. You're just bandwagoning all the people who hate it. |
[556.76 --> 562.52] You should watch it again. I, the car chase. Okay. Look, I watched the first one again, |
[563.08 --> 567.72] like a couple of years ago. I did that last weekend. And it's so bad. Oh, it's awesome. |
