Even on Landlady’s Loose Legsthe day that saw the (slow) release of Trump's tax returns, reports of a reboot of The Matrixdidn't slip under the radar. Far from it.

After all, who in their right mind would consider remaking one of the most iconic films of the last 20 years? It isn't that old, for one.

People around the world are using Twitter to vent their mutual frustration over the pure injustice of it all. And man, are they pissed.
