Give me a f'n break. First matrix was good…and were done. They make terrible movies. Abstract crap is still crap. They need the matrix prequels…all they got. All u fanboys go find someone more talented to blow.

If I had to bet, I'd guess that the tracking on the film was horrendous. There's very little oxygen in this summer blockbuster environment for something as original and singular-looking as "Jupiter Ascending." Summer blockbuster audiences seem to like having strong expectations of what they're going to get out of a movie. Watching the trailer for "Jupiter," you're not sure what you're getting into. I imagine the studio simply moved the picture to give it a better shot at success. That's not unprecedented.

If anything, they may be too unconventional for major movie studio tastes. Studios generally want to release Captain America, more moronic Adam Sandler films, teen vampires, and Fast & Furious. The Wachowskis are probably too "subversive" for them.

To get what they want done, they have to probably operate not only outside the studio system, but find new digital venues for their work, like this forthcoming Netflix project.

I wish box office receipts weren't the only measure of success by commentators. Divisive, yes. Too much for the average Joe moviegoer to comprehend? Perhaps. But who the hell cares about the average moviegoer's opinion on this blog site? There's plenty of throwaway popcorn movies released every week. Filmmakers that push the envelope consistently deserve our respect.

And we all know that will never happen. So "luck running out" is a silly question. Must be a slow news day.

In one word? YES.

If it failed so be it, but now studios are so skittish they won't even try to give audiences something untested.

Why is it that we're always giving studios shit, but the moment they decide to change release dates, they're wise and infallible?

Say what you will about them, at least they're making an original (hopeful) blockbuster. If it flops how many more Captain Americas await us?
