I think that people making The Matrix lost their minds: 1. Seeing a long, long scene of people dancing is not a good way to start a movie. 2. Neo is not Superman. 3. Neo is not The Flash. 4. Cheap philosophy is plain boring. ("Is this the reality? Or is this what I dream to be the reality? And what if I am awake, but dreaming about a dream where I am awake thinking about reality? Will it still be reality?") 5. Interrupting a movie in the half of the story and saying "hey, wait 1 year and we'll tell you the rest of the story" sucks. Specially when it seems that the 20 minutes of history was stretched to fit in 3 hours of movie.

1. I thought they were brave to put it in and pulled it off well. That you can accept 25 minutes of non stop violence but cannot stomach 10 minutes of celebration speaks volumes :P 2. Stop taking it so damned seriously. It was a funny throw back, I laughed and applauded 3. Flash Gordon? Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body! :rolleyes: What Flash was there in The Matrix? 4. Kinda hard to reach your levels of philosophy in a movie. Read a book if you want that. Don't expect it from a movie. Let the movie sit at it's level (cheap phil.). 5. That was the distributors decision. The brothers wanted III released a week after II but it was not allowed. 6. For petes sake just enjoy the damned thing stop analyzing what is entertainment regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

You noticed that too, ha? Here are some possible explanations, hopefully Smitha can enligthen us:
- His wife/girlfriend/lover also reads Smitha's posts and shows her love by always rating him a 5.
- His best friend also reads Smitha's posts and shows his friendship by always rating him a 5.
- Smitha has another computer and logs in to CP under a different account, which he uses as a convenient way to rate himself a 5. He does this because he,
- likes to locate his own messages quickly, since they're (usually) red;
- is afraid someone will rate him down, so he rates himself up to compensate;
- thinks very highly of himself -- everything he says is worthy of a 5;
- thinks very lowly of himself and needs a 5 to feel a better;
- feels that unless his messages are rated high, no one will bother to read them;
- feels that rating his messages high will cause people to read them before the rest; or
- loves the color red and wants to spread it around.
That's all I could come up with. :-) What's the scoop Smitha? Regards, Alvaro
Hey! It compiles! Ship it.

Just saw the sneak peek on CNN. Thought I saw Neo walking through the middle of a bunch of agent Smiths again. I sure hope that stupid seen is not revisited in the last installment. Loved the first one, hated the second one, would be nice to come out of the theater after this one and at least think it was OK.. Afraid it is going to be like the previous garbage. Rocky Moore <><
I wonder if it was the same as this preview: http://progressive.warnerbros.com/thematrix/us/med/revolutions_320_dl.zip[^]? (Which became available sometime around September 6.) ------------------------------------------ The ousted but stubbornly non-dead leader reportedly released an audiotape this weekend, ending by calling on Iraqis to, quote, "resist the occupation in any way you can, from writing on walls, to boycotting, to demonstrating and taking up arms." adding, "you know, pretty much anything I used to kill you for." - The Daily Show

Sequels generally suck. Only exception to this rule that I know of is Aliens (Alien 2). Personally I would like a prequal to the Matrix, and I thought the Animatrix was interesting overall.

Here's a twist: I didn't even think the first Matrix was that great! Here are the sequels that a fair # of people seem to like better than the original: Aliens, T2, Empire Strikes Back, Godfather II I think the only one I would put higher than it's predecessor is ESB. I like the Good, Bad, Ugly better than it's siblings, but I think it's considered a prequel. Speaking of Aliens: What's happened to James Cameron? He did Titanic and vanished off the face of the earth.

Sorry Smitha, no harm intended. It's just that female posters are few and far between around here and I didn't know you had a female name. :-O Regards, Alvaro
