What Is the Kaydara?
It’s a Matrix fan-film by two French brothers that looks shockingly good. Even I, with my intense hatred of The Matrix franchise, was both intrigued and impressed by the above trailer — it looks a hell of a lot more interesting than anything in Reloaded or Revolutions, that’s for sure, especially when you consider that all the special effects were apparently made by two dudes. The film is due in May, and the official site is here. Thanks to Seth I. for the tip.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
