"You Don't Know a Thing About Me"

But we're starting to, because another TV trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens just came out, and this one focuses mainly on Finn played by John Boyega.



This trailer reminded me of some of the themes in The Matrix. So let's take a look at the new footage, and this time there's actually a lot of it.

The Matrix 8-Bit Cinema

I really love CineFix's 8-Bit Cinema. It's a great twist giving relatively modern movies a nostalgic edge by hurtling them back in time to the games I grew up with. And they're done so well! Their latest creation is The Matrix, and everything's here; choosing the pill, the jump, the square-off with Agent Smith, and more! I think the car chase in Reloaded could also be turned into something akin to Pole Position, and Revolutions? Well let's just forget about Revolutions...

Underdogs

With Prince Oberyn Martell facing off against the Mountain in the next episode of Game of Thrones, it marks another in a long line of underdog fights in TV and movie history. And why not? Everybody loves a good underdog fight, except maybe for Barney Stinson.



But underdog fights are great. It's good vs evil, small vs big, right vs wrong. In many cases, good prevails because that's what the audience likes. In some cases, the good guy loses but has some kind of moral victory. In the movies, the bad guy rarely wins. George R.R. Martin isn't one to follow convention so the Oberyn/Mountain fight may have a quick and painful end for us, but who knows. Actually, book readers know so no spoilers! So Barney not withstanding, let's take a look at some of the more entertaining underdog fights in pop culture history.
