Was it bad that I didnāt notice that, even when you pointed it out (probably because I lived in the UK last millennium).
Welcome to the forum - whoever the fuck you may be 
Andā¦ in my ignore list you go after only 22 minutes. Thatās gotta be a record of sorts

Gah !!!, but I am not surprised
I never watch trailersā¦ever.
So I have no idea what it is about, or how Neo is alive ( Resurrectedā¦obviouslyā¦but ??? )
I loved the first movie; great concept, actors etc. etc
The subsequent movies in my opinion just got progressively worseā¦ It sounds like at least it follows the path of that consistency.
I will still watch it, for the sake of completionism Iām sure it has something I can still appreciateā¦hopefullyā¦maybe

You should: theyāre supposed to be representative of the best the movie has to offer. So if they look kind of crap, you can be sure the rest of the movie is worse.
The latest Matrix is an attempt at reviving the original story, but with all the elements of all the other sequels thrown in, the machines becoming buddy-buddy, Laurence Fishburn and Hugo Weaving missing, and Keanu Reeves and Carry Ann Moss barely managing to play without a walking frame.
The problem with those sequels is, theyāre trying to reuse the old actors and old plot lines that made the first one work, only now theyāre old. I wouldnāt have minded an entirely new cast and a completely new plot in the same franchise. But this is just reheated and rather pathetic.
But you may enjoy it. From what I read on the internet, opinion is divided.

For me, thatās the problem; I assume it is still the same, The trailers show you āallā the best bits of the movie.
I would rather the first time I see those bits, actually be during the movie, in context, and as a part of the story.
I should clarify, I used to watch trailers like most other people, but I no longer do and havenāt for a good number of years.
I remember seeing a trailer, and thinking " That looks good" I then watched the movie, and thought
āThat movie was MEH! and All the best bits were in the trailer, and I have already seen those bits, and the 2nd time wasnāt as good /funny etcā¦ā
Fucking annoyed
Apparently Iāve been around someone whoās positive for covidā¦ but Iām not allowed to know how or who or when ā¦ because hippa?
Donāt get me wrong, I fully agree with and approve of hippa, 99% of the time
But the picking and choosing when they care about personal information in this pandemic is pretty fucking annoyingā¦
Itās not like when you covid itās either a secretā¦ or supposed to be a secretā¦ sigh

Literally my last best movie experience was when I was channel-surfing in a hotel years ago, and then got intrigued by a movie within seconds of watching, kept on watching, and - I shit you not - I thought āif this wasnāt a weird western, Iād swear this is a Tarantino movieā and find out at the credits that it was a Tarantino movie (it was Django Unchained). Thoroughly enjoyable feeling.

100% with you on that, watching a movie with little on No expectations can make a movie far more enjoyable.
I try and live my life with as little bias as possible, a no-bias bias.
It can be difficult at times with things like movies especially blockbuster and sequels , where the posters and adverts, snippets of trailers ( before you can avert your eyes ) are everywhere, but when you stumble on a little gem you know nothing about, like you did, makes for a much more enjoyable experience.
I also had a nice Tarintino surprise, I watched āFrom Dusk till Dawnā, knowing nothing about it except Tarantino wrote it and Robert Rodriguez directed it.
happily watching it, all normal-ish, then all of a sudden Fucken Vampires everywhereā¦I wasnāt expecting that, but I enjoyed it.
Side note, Pulp Fiction, one of my all-time favourite movies

Who told you that you were exposed?
Edit:
https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/covered-entities/index.html
People (in general) need to read about this stuff. I can ask people all day about medical status or require the person to show proof of vaccination before entering some place. None of that breaks hipaa
Employer
Is your employer a provider?
I doubt it is hipaa if it is your employer.
I do not doubt they have other regulations about it, it just likely isnāt HIPAA
If I am wrong please correct me. (About HIPAA)

As I understand it HIPPA only applies to medical professionals. But, an employer is not going to tell you, to avoid being blamed. Hippa is just an exscuse.

Pretty much this,
I should have mentioned that yea Iām sure itās not ACTUALLY hippa, but itās what they always claim and hide behind
Itās just the circular fucking logic thatās making me crack lately
Itās either private information, or youāre supposed to tell anyone youāve been around they might have been exposed and to test and isolate
They arenāt compatible ideas
But somehow the idea of an employer telling one particular employee in a room full of others, that they have been exposedā¦ but nobody elseā¦ without giving any reason of explanation is somehow better
Like I said, normally I respect hippa, itās nobodies business if I have say HIV, (as long as Iām not willfully or negligently exposing others somehow)
But given that itās a pandemic and most of the other rules are thrown out the window, and somehow itās one personās responsibility wether or not they expose someone elseā¦ itās pretty fucking silly that you canāt just tell me how I got exposed, or who has tested positiveā¦
For all you know I was in close contact with someone, but now itās going to continue to spread because suddenly private information is a hill worth dying onā¦ but not bodily autonomy?
ā¦ today is apparently a rare day I struggle with emotional controlā¦ everything stupid is annoying me extra
i have no useful information to add, i just wanted to say its HIPAA not HIPPA

My final alcohol tip.
If you want to get piss drunk on the cheap.
Burnettās flavored vodka. $7 for a 750ml and it doesnāt taste great, but for $7 itās a drink haha

Nice, looks like my local grocery has some in stock, Iāll have to pick up a bottle. Hadnāt heard of that brand.
Would you recommend the Raspberry or the Cherry? Looks like those are the two flavors they have.
I really like Blue Raspberry flavored Svedka, but itās $10 for 750ml. Itās a good one to mix with juice or something like Pepsi (my go-to).

The blue raspberry taste quite a bit like BR Svedka, maybe a bit more sour.
Iāve only came across them recently on accident but the mango isnāt bad for $7 and the blue raspberry is Iād even possibly say decent for $7. Havenāt mixed with anything yet personally but juice does sound enticing
