In Reply to: Am I the only one who got what The Matrix was about? posted by The Who on May 06, 2001 at 14:13:20:
The matrix was a movie that was akin to a song that consisted entirely of samples from other songs. They cut up story elements that made other stories great, assembled them all in anachronistic fashion, put a modern techno beat in the background, and marketed it to the rave crowd. They raped what was good from other stories/movies and attempted to bring it all together in one melting pot; hoping to create a fresh new feast for movie buffs. Instead, it's just a stale, 2 week old bucket of glurp.I only hope the sequel will not abuse the 3D camera effect. That's has gotten a bit worn with its use in commercials and all.

Man, I would hate to see what you say to someone who doesn't share your taste in music. Why get in a big huff? I just think there is better out there made for far less, and with less marketing involved. For example Solaris contains all of the themes talked about in the Matrix and IMHO was a beautiful movie to watch. What about THX-1138 - another fantastic one with similar themes ( the student film it was based off is good too ) How about all of the work done by some of the world's most talented sci fi writers as screenplays for Star Trek, ST Next Gen, or countless other sci fi leaning TV shows? While they might not have had the marketing, big budgets, media guys and kits of the major studios they wrote some good stuff told in half the time and with people with twice as much acting ability. Harlan Ellison? Philip K. Dick? Dan Simmons? William Gibson? Neal Stephenson ( if Snow Crash is made into a movie it will probably make the Matrix seem like Japanamation boredom), or the one I am waiting for anything by Iain Banks...boy oh boy will that be fun.http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/snowcrash.html

Why is that that no one leaves quietly anylonger?
Don't you understand that if you leave without stench, you can always come back and no one will make anything about it? Otherwise you don't look so good.
Anyway, not realy addressed at you or yor tastes in movies, you just happened to be in the wrong place at this moment - but lately there is all that sobbing going on on just about every page...
So silly...
