The matrix trilogy?
All fun asides… So I see the connection here to the classic observations of “gate keeping” by male fans towards females who say they like something- “oh, you like cars, prove it! What years did Ford make the XYZ engine in a coupe?” “Oh, you like games? Prove it. What was the code to start Mega Man X with all armor and boss weapons?” That said it’s all equally silly to be fair. In this case it’s a bit like asking someone if they like music and they support Ukraine- and then asking them to prove it by naming 3 movies directed by Ukrainians.
Many people who “like movies” or what not might have trouble naming 3 directors and movies they’ve made let alone some random qualifier like “name 3 directors who have made horror movies in the last 10 years…” or something like that.
Yeah, that's what I thought as well. A funny reference to that gate keeping.
When it popped up on Facebook I answered the Matrix Trilogy because it was directed by the Wachowski sisters before they came out because I'm a special kind of evil.
Lol. To be honest… I didn’t read the title. It was like 3am my time and I did a last scroll before bed after finishing up some work. It turns out I’m also a special kind of evil as I meant it as a joke- but hadn’t seen the title, so I didn’t realize you’d already used the joke! After seeing the title I realize it reads like: “why did you say the matrix trilogy?”
But I meant it like “I guess the matrix trilogy counts?” And ended up making the same joke since I didn’t read the title. lol. Sorry for the confusion, and for not reading your title and stepping on your joke.
But at least we know great minds think alike.
Oh my. lol. Well- I think we differ enough that I’d say you’re no fool. As for myself, I think I’ve certainly proven in life that I am in fact quite a fool.
You're no fool, I don't always agree with your comments but it's seldom I've found reason too argue with you. More often than not I've had to change my reasoning after your comments. It is much appreciated.
