My brother, Bizzmoff, just sent me this review of the Matrix: Reloaded Movie (Cup). It's one of the most original, if not amusing, reviews of the latest installment in this goth-pop trilogy:
Bizzmoff's Matrix: Reloaded Review
I finally saw the Matrix: Reloaded last night (5/23/03). My wife and I attended the Turtle Creek 9 in Hattiesburg, MS. It was everything that I expected and more.
The first thing that caught my attention about the Matrix was at the concession stand. My parents were cheap when it came to movie snacks… dad refused to pay the high mark up and mom smuggled snacks in. When you hear a pssssst... (can drink opening) in a movie you know somebody's being a cheap-o. I always try to purchase movie food 'cause I know why they charge so much so I don't feel bad about paying it. When buying a drink I ask for a large because my wife and I always share. The girl behind the counter asked me if I wanted to "upgrade" to a Matrix cup. It came with free refills. I said "yes" and she started to fill the cup.
After what seemed like forever, she finally stopped filling the cup. The big lids were not quite big enough for this cup. It took a while before she could cap off this mountain of refreshment. Man what a cup! I was having second thoughts about what I was getting into. I told her that I couldn't wait to eat cereal out of it and she laughed. "You could have a whole meal in this cup" she said. This cup was huge!!! I know what your thinking... "I have seen bigger cups at gas stations." Well, how about a little comparison. :)
This is a "large" cup from a local gas station. It was big at the time of purchase. It is nothing now. You want numbers? 32 oz., a 1/4 gallon. That used to be large... so let's move on.
This is a "large" cup from Burger King. It has an odd shape in order to fit into car cup holders. It held 48 oz. of liquid. It was the current champ of large cups. It fell last night.
Check it out! Man that's big. This is the Fortress Maximus of drinking cups. What more can I say than 72 oz... More than a half gallon of drink! For more information on "The Cup" check out Berry Plastics.
Yeah... Who's your daddy? Them ghost twins ain't backing down from a two liter. They can handle it and more! Rumor was that one guy drank 3 refills. Someone suggested that they were sharing with the whole row. I think otherwise.
Looking down the barrel. This sat on top of the cup holder in the movie, not in it. What more can I say. The Matrix: Reloaded was awesome and I loved the preview of Matrix 3 at the end too.
Go see it!
