The Matrix, directed by Lana and Lily Wachowski, revolutionized the way we watch film, especially action cinema. How do you reinvent what you invented? This question is at the heart of The Matrix Resurrections. Lana Wachowski makes smart choices that to the naked eye might seem a bit nostalgic, but are more so intentional. It’s a way to introduce a new generation to the old Matrix films while ushering in a new narrative that course corrects some of the issues with the first three films.
Tom Anderson aka Neo (Keanu Reeves) is back in the “real world.” He’s the world’s most famed game designer and creator of The Matrix video games, which are a rehash of “dreams” and “memories” that consist of the same things from the previous films. He meets Tiffany aka Trinity (Carrie Anne Moss) at a coffee shop and there is a spark between them.

MySpace Tom is still looking good! The tech entrepreneur (real name: Tom Anderson) was everyone's first friend in the days before Facebook. Back then, the MySpace co-founder was a smiling, nice-looking guy eager to welcome you in to the whole social media-sphere. These days, Tom no longer works for MySpace, but he is still a smiling, nice-looking guy! The 44-year-old social networking pioneer is happily "retired and traveling the world taking photos" these days, according to his about.me page. Based on his @myspacetom Instagram feed (he embraces the new forms of networking, but as you can tell from the handle, he hasn't forgotten where he came from!) Tom specializes in landscape portraits and scenes...

He’s bringing Myspace back. Scratch that: He’s brought Myspace back.
Justin Timberlake’s much-balleyhooed redesign of the once-popular social network finally went live today. If you bite the bullet and make a new account — or manage to remember what your 16-year-old self set as the password on your original account — you’ll be free to click around the site and marvel at its cool use of white space, its nifty horizontal interface (which seems tailor-made for tablet browsing), and the profiles of Timberlake-approved celebrities like Beyoncé and Timbaland.
Though Myspace 2.0 is much sleeker and more sophisticated than its garish,...

MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson has criticised the social networking site during a censorship debate. Anderson, who left the venture in 2009, described the website as a "cesspool that no-one wants to visit" and raised concerns that Google+ could become the same unless appropriate policing is maintained. The censorship debate began when TechCrunch columnist Mg Siegler criticised Google for removing his Google+ profile picture without prior warning. The image, which depicted him with a raised middle finger, was deemed offensive by the platform holder. "My problem isn't so much with the fact that I couldn't have a profile picture of myself giving everyone the finger - which I can and do on Twitter and elsewhere - it's that no-one bothered to tell me or warn me before they just went into my account and deleted the picture," Siegler wrote on (more)...

Maury often contains couples arguing over who the real father of a baby is, and naming and shaming many philandering 'babydaddys', like any great daytime talk show should. However, a recent episode takes accusations to a whole new level. Alleged father Joe removes himself from the situation, as he has a grand theory. He reckons the real father of his girlfriend's baby is really Myspace co-founder Tom Anderson. Clearly not realising that all (more)...

Congratulations, you've bought MySpace and its 77 million users. Now what do you do with it? That depends greatly on whether you're advertising network Specific Media, private equity firm Golden Gate Capital, or MySpace co-founders Chris DeWolfe or Tom Anderson, each of whom is putting together a group of bidders for the failed social network. News Corp. is expected to make the deal by Wednesday morning for $35 million, making the price per user some 45 cents.

Now that you've seen the terrific first full trailer for The Social Network, it's time to check out the teaser for the sequel. Or is it a prequel? The Other Social Network is just like the David Fincher-directed movie about the founding of Facebook except that it's about the founding of MySpace. It covers the origins with Tom Anderson, friend to all, and the acquisition by Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. Plus, it goes so far as to show what MySpace has become in the era of Facebook dominance: a social media outlet for sluts, idiots, spambots and nu metal bands.
Not that funny, right? But the parody trailer, which comes to us via Best Week Ever, is not unfunny because of the jokes made in the video. It's unfunny because it's all too true. If Facebook hadn't taken over in popularity, we would be seeing real trailers for the MySpace movie instead.

Since yesterday's announcement that Chris DeWolfe is stepping down as MySpace CEO, all sorts of juicy details have begun to circulate.
The widely held assumption is that the executive shake-up is the work of newly anointed NewsCorp digital chief Jonathan Miller. But it now seems just as likely that someone higher in the chain of command--Murdoch himself, even--is behind the move. Things at MySpace really started to unravel when former Fox digital COO Peter Chernin departed back in February. Chernin was the real business mind at Fox's interactive media group; and neither DeWolfe or cofounder Tom Anderson had the business pedigree to cope with a rough economy.
The pair were also rather infamous for their hard-partying ways, and tales of their excess are likely to become more public soon. One or both of them will likely find safe harbor in the music business, which is a good fit for their...

New News Corp. CEO of Digital Media Jonathan Miller is wasting no time in shaking things up at MySpace. He has decided to fire CEO and co-founder Chris DeWolfe and has retained the services of a headhunting organization to find a replacement, reports TechCrunch. MySpace President Tom Anderson (everyone's first "friend" on the platform) and Cto Aber Whitcomb may also be on the way out. News Corp. has been under pressure to return some of the luster to MySpace, which has been overtaken by Facebook as the world's leading social destination. Money could also have something to do with it: Chris and Tom are making an aggregate $30 million through 2009, according to Julia Angwin's tell-all book Stealing MySpace published in March.

MySpace CEO and cofounder Chris DeWolfe is on the way out. TechCrunch's Michael Arrington reports News Corp's new CEO of Digital Media Jonathan Miller will send DeWolfe packing along with a core group of executives:
"MySpace has a dozen or so 'execs,' but our guess is that it's the very senior team that will be terminated: cofounders Chris DeWolfe (CEO), Tom Anderson (President) and Aber Whitcomb (Cto). Removing any more of the team would be much more than a morale blow to the company--it would also bring operations to a screaming halt."
The de-friending comes as rival Facebook narrowed Myspace's lead in unique U.S. visitors from more than 20 million at the end of 2008 to 9.1 million last week. Meanwhile, Myspace attracted 160,000 fewer U.S. visitors in March than in February.
DeWolfe and Anderson graced the cover of the September 2008 issue of Fast Company for a story titled "Myspace,...
