Sithiee, it's a bit lame to just go out and tell people that they shouldn't talk bad about a movie because you like it. The plot of the movie isn't new. It's been told soooo many times in soooo many movies/books/whatever. And the facts that it's too far out physically doesn't make it better. The acting suxx too, but noone has brought that up yet. What makes the movie good is the humor and the tech stuff. That kung fu scene left my jaw hanging by the floor for a long time after the movie was over. But other than that the movie is just another piece in the dusty collection of b-movies.

People is making the movie more than it is... In my oppinion the story basically sux0rs. If yours is different it's fine with me. Just don't tell me what to say or feel about the movie. Because I'll say what I mean and not what you've heard in some latenight review on the tv.

Why is Techno better than Alternative?

Because Techno = Technology and if you dont move with the Technology you get left behind.

Then again, you may enjoy your alternative lifestyle :)

And why the hell should we stop and accept people making shitty movie-scripts? It's like saying feed me shit, and I'll learn to like it.

Star Trek is actually made by some physics guy, and have actually stuff in it that could be real. I don't believe in pervert robots!

as for plots being told over and over again, didn't shakespeare say that there are only four basic plots? power, lust, revenge, and (i think) patriotism. or something like the seven deadly sins (go kevin spacey) minus gluttony, sloth, and, wrath?

"Sorry for the inconvenience." God's last words to the universe in the final book of *the* trilogy.

My favorite things in the Matrix:
1. The Kung Fu Fighting. Duh.
2. The Gun Fights.
3. The Big Rack of Guns.
4. The Bitchin Helicopter Gun
5. Cool Graphics of robots and stuff from the 'desert of the real world'
6. All the awesome quotes

The last item is by far the best part. Before I run any race in track, me and my friend joke about there being no spoon, or no race, or whatever. And don't forget the red pill, or the white rabbit. So many cool lines, so little time...

That's all folks...

Everything is all the same plot, its just variations. There are only so many things that get our attention, and its just a matter of putting in twists and combining these things in different ways.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was actually a newer version of an ancient Roman story, Piramus and Thisbe (sp definitely). And the Aeneid, supposedly Rome's finest work? Ripped almost entirely from The Odyssey and The Iliad. Nothing changes, just rearranges...

Korn, I believe.

To whomever was bashing us for overanalyzing the Matrix:

It's not so much that we're analyzing the matrix, we're just using it is a jumping off point for discussing artifial intelligence, sentience, nuclear fusion, the universe, etc. The matrix has provided the topic, and now the debate seems to have strayed. We are intelligent people who have a lot of views and theories that average people wouldnt understand, so we come here, and when an opportunity to speak about what has been festering in our heads arises, we take advantage of it.
