----------------------------------- Asok Sun Apr 06, 2003 10:22 pm The Matrix ----------------------------------- As I am I Matrix addict I feel the need to talk about it because it's soooo cool! Anyone who disagrees can take the blue pill... wussies :P Anyways Matrix Reloaded is coming out, it'll kick ass, check out the trailer at www.whatisthematrix.com while you're there check out the Animatrix, very cool :) To add to my Matrix Wonderland the new Matrix GAME is coming out soon called Enter the Matrix, check out the trailer for that too. I'll finish this post with "You have come to the edge of the looking glass" 8) MATRIX IT UP 8) ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Apr 07, 2003 11:26 am ----------------------------------- Is there anywhere to download the Last Flight of the Osiris? I saw it in Dreamcatcher, but I want it on my pc! ----------------------------------- Asok Mon Apr 07, 2003 4:55 pm ----------------------------------- I have not seen it yet, I imagine when the DVD comes out in may it'll be online rather quickly. Some warez channels probably have a copy of Final Flight of the Osiris. ----------------------------------- Dan Mon Apr 07, 2003 5:13 pm ----------------------------------- OH YA, Matrix all the way!!!! my fariote movie! ----------------------------------- Ravage Wed Apr 09, 2003 11:52 am ----------------------------------- When's that supposed to be coming to theatres? ----------------------------------- FwuffyTheBunny Wed Apr 09, 2003 11:55 am ----------------------------------- Sposed to come out in june i think ----------------------------------- Vicous Wed Apr 09, 2003 12:30 pm ----------------------------------- Me and my friends are gonna book a theatre in advace... Yeah ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Apr 09, 2003 2:38 pm ----------------------------------- Damn it, it comes out right when my exams are... I think :? W/e, I'll still watch it as soon as I can. ----------------------------------- Asok Wed Apr 09, 2003 3:04 pm ----------------------------------- I'll be watching it at a midnight showing with all the other Matrix nerds! WE RULE! ;) ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Apr 09, 2003 3:15 pm ----------------------------------- midnight, eh? Maybe I can come join you with some of my friends :wink: ----------------------------------- Asok Wed Apr 09, 2003 4:44 pm ----------------------------------- sure, it'll be fun, I'm pretty sure I'm skipping school the next morning. hehe ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Apr 09, 2003 6:42 pm ----------------------------------- ah crap... what about friday midnight? this way we dont have to worry that much about skipping school the next day... I donno about you, but my mom will raze hell if I'm gonna go to movie @ midnight with school the next day :( ----------------------------------- void Wed Apr 09, 2003 7:37 pm ----------------------------------- muhuhuhuuhauhahahahahahah...your mom is like mine....if she's as careless...she wont notice you sneak out....muhuhuhauhahah :twisted: ....just slit your window and jump out...thats what i do...it works....just get back brofre the next morning :wink: ....actually my moms giving me permission to miss skool IF i feel too lazy the next day after the movie....I WONDER IF I'LL BE LAZY........the movie that im really looking forward to thos is LOTR3....nothing beats that!!!!!! anyone disagree? **flashes gun handle** :lol: ----------------------------------- DarkHelmet Wed Apr 09, 2003 8:12 pm ----------------------------------- i couldn't possibly agree more with void. Lotr is the best. I've seen the first one a lot of times, and i saw the second one twice. Read all three books + the hobbit twice too. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Apr 09, 2003 8:58 pm ----------------------------------- well our programming subculture revolves around the matrix. But LOTR is cool too... thats like the second part of me (check out the sword in avatar... its there for a reason). as for skeaking out in the middle of the night... My mom gous to sleep @ like 11:30-12 just to make sure all me and my bro are sleeping... so cant make to midnight showing. + heck, I got grounded for doing homework @ 11, imagine what will happen if I go to see a movie! ----------------------------------- Asok Wed Apr 09, 2003 9:22 pm ----------------------------------- ah, I typically enjoy playing the devil's advocate, so I'll do it again because I'm bored :) LOTR blowed, I'm sorry, but did you actually see the first movie? Here's what I picked up, they are walking from point A to point B. Ah ok like a road trip... but on foot. Anyways the whole premise of the movie was to reach point B, AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO THAT! I know a lot of people will say "But Asok, there is a sequel!" Bah! That's no excuse to have a movie with no ending, starwars had a sequel and it managed to wrap up the plotline at least. Others may say "But Asok, they were staying true to the books!" I couldn't care less, just because the book was decent doesn't mean a movie is. If they wanted a good movie they should've killed Frodo, that hairy foot bastard, and had some hot elven lesbian sex. It wouldn't be "true to the book" but hell, it'd make a great movie. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Apr 09, 2003 9:30 pm ----------------------------------- hot elven lesbian sex :D *tony runs off and rents LOTR, but after watching it and not seeing anything over PG13 rated, starts blaming Asok for false advertising* damn you Asok *reads Asoks post 2nd time...* damn :cry: Anyways... this inspires me to start vertual acting some time... maybe when I'm bored and dont have school work so I dont feel as guilty for waisting time. But Asok has a point there. As much as the book is good, I was expecting soo much more from the movie. ----------------------------------- Ravage Thu Apr 10, 2003 12:06 pm ----------------------------------- The thing I didnt like about Lotr was the fact that it was long and drawn out for a "I wonder if our friends found a safer route" I didnt go into the movie expecting total greatness like I did with the newer Star Wars movies, you have to waste a compete afternoon just to figure out exactly what Asok said and that's not making it to where they were going. ----------------------------------- Dan Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:40 pm ----------------------------------- The LOTR books were asmume but the moive sucked. it was a descrase of the books and J.R.R. token. Also the books where a hell lot more intresting then the movie it was so boring that i could not wach it all :evil: ----------------------------------- Prince Thu Apr 10, 2003 4:43 pm ----------------------------------- i kno how u feel dan... about an hour into the movie i started to fall asleep... but then again i was watchin at 1 in the mornin (ill never do that again :? ) ----------------------------------- Asok Fri Apr 11, 2003 7:19 pm ----------------------------------- The Final Matrix Trailer can be found here: INSANE :D ----------------------------------- Asok Fri Apr 11, 2003 8:02 pm ----------------------------------- Am I the only one salvating over this trailer? :roll: ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Apr 11, 2003 10:24 pm ----------------------------------- OMG, this is sooooooooooooo cool! i have wachted it 10+ times so fare. thaks for posting about it. ----------------------------------- Asok Sat Apr 12, 2003 12:12 am ----------------------------------- UPGRADES MAN!

(well I dont have a licence for a gun... but... eh... thats besides the point... :wink:) ----------------------------------- Blade Mon Apr 14, 2003 3:38 pm ----------------------------------- AH AH AH!! BLADES GOT ONE! my name is blade... and i want a sword, but i'm too cheap so i got a gun :D.... hey i can be a poet! -- dont ask ----------------------------------- ZeroKelvin Thu Apr 24, 2003 10:45 am ----------------------------------- lol... this is funny matrix reloaded is comming out may 15th and revolution is comming out in november :lol: ......... can't wait ----------------------------------- Asok Thu Apr 24, 2003 10:47 am ----------------------------------- yea, enter the matrix is on it's way and I'm looking forward to it. Maxpayne style action... but with the Matrix franchise. :D ----------------------------------- Ravage Sat May 10, 2003 8:42 pm ----------------------------------- I felt obligated to remind everyone that Matrix Reloaded hits thearters in only 5 more days! ----------------------------------- Dan Sat May 10, 2003 8:49 pm ----------------------------------- same with the game!!!!! ----------------------------------- BoyGenius Sat May 10, 2003 9:12 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah me too. But i heard that its ratings are pretty low ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat May 10, 2003 9:31 pm ----------------------------------- I've seen all the game's overviews and from the looks of it i think it'll be something like maxpayne ----------------------------------- Tony Sat May 10, 2003 10:47 pm ----------------------------------- from the hobbies thread I figured lots of you guys like anime... so wanna remind you that animatrix is coming out on DVD June 3rd (I think)... 8) ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat May 10, 2003 10:52 pm ----------------------------------- bwahahahahahaaaaaaaarrrr.... sorry but i really needed to say that =/ matrix on anime LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!! ----------------------------------- element Sat May 10, 2003 10:59 pm ----------------------------------- It's not funny. The storylines are amazing and so is the artwork. Check out 4 of the 9 episodes to be released on the official website. http://www.intothematrix.com/ ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat May 10, 2003 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- I stand by my word >=|>- ----------------------------------- Blade Sat May 10, 2003 11:27 pm ----------------------------------- heeeyyyy, you're watching it too man...so laugh at whats in yer mirror while yer at it ----------------------------------- Ravage Sun May 11, 2003 10:15 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah me too. But i heard that its ratings are pretty low Yeah well we all know how critics are entirely accurate, like the Blair Witch movies was "Scarier Then Hell" -some dumbass guy, "Scariest Movie Since The Exorcist" -Guy that was taken for being sarcastic, so you cant really establish anything from reviews ----------------------------------- Tony Sun May 11, 2003 10:19 pm ----------------------------------- wasn't Blair Witch movie's budget was $25,000 or something? Soo cheap ----------------------------------- Asok Sun May 11, 2003 10:30 pm ----------------------------------- reviews are pretty pointless. think about it like this, Legally Blonde recieved good reviews. What does this prove? A review only holds any value if it's made by me :D So I will rank the following movies: Legally Blonde - Great for all those moronic assholes who enjoyed "Clueless" Swimfan - Some chick with PMS throughout the ENTIRE movie. I would rather have bleeding genetalia than sit through this pile of crap. Daddy Daycare - Spoiled bratty kids hurl feces at eachother. Watching the same thing on the Discovery Channel with monkeys is more entertaining than this movie. Chicago - Nothing is worse than having people spontaneously break into song and dance. Give it all the awards you want, it wont change the fact that this movie was so much crap that it gives crap a bad name. How to lose a guy in 10 days - More like How to lose your lunch in 10 minutes. This chick flick was a bunch of shit, realistically there should have been some domestic violence in the first half hour instead of him becoming a complete pussy for the rest of the movie. The Real Cancun - The only thing real about this movie is it really sucked. "Reality TV: Take 32!" 2 weeks notice - Hugh Grant plays the EXACT same character in EVERY movie he's in. Damn, I would like to smack this guy. It pisses me off to look at him. That's it for now. Remember, if I said it sucks... it probably does. ----------------------------------- Dan Sun May 11, 2003 10:41 pm ----------------------------------- man, that some prity funny shit there. you whould be a good reviewer for a magise or somting. ----------------------------------- ZeroKelvin Mon May 12, 2003 10:45 am ----------------------------------- anime is the best, no one can dis it i think animatrix is gonna be great i support it all the way ----------------------------------- Blade Mon May 12, 2003 12:18 pm ----------------------------------- yea!

I wonder if matrix (the game) uses the same models... though Xbox might not be able to handle that many polys to play real time :? ----------------------------------- Prince Mon May 19, 2003 10:42 pm ----------------------------------- But as sertain points it really looking like the video game graphics (including neo).. yea i noticed that too tony but it actually looked pretty cool... the worst part was the loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong ass speech the creator of the matrix decided to giv neo... after they started talkin bout choices and 6th version of the matrix i was jus like, f--- this and gave up trying to understand it.... and, thnx to the ending, now november seems like too far away for the release of Revolution :x ----------------------------------- Catalyst Mon May 19, 2003 11:21 pm ----------------------------------- great movie :D Starts off slow, but kicks into gear and doesnt stop cant wait till november... ----------------------------------- naoki Tue May 20, 2003 5:05 pm ----------------------------------- nice scrolling effect, a lot better than what my friend is trying to accomplish :wink: .......... he's trying to compile big letters into a word from the scrolling but the letter appears even when no scrolling exists in that y position :shock: ----------------------------------- ZeroKelvin Thu May 22, 2003 4:38 pm ----------------------------------- Neo is so rigged in the movie, he can now stop centinals (dunno if that's how you spell it), wft is that !!!!! Those white twin things are also rigged, did they really die or wut? but for the most part it was a really good movie, nice animations, but the ending sucked. ----------------------------------- Asok Thu May 22, 2003 4:40 pm ----------------------------------- Kelvin, it's sentinels. Anyways there are many theories floating about why Neo can manipulate the real world as that is not explained in the movie (it is in the third) ----------------------------------- Prince Thu May 22, 2003 4:55 pm ----------------------------------- who saw that trailer at the end of reloaded... i missed it cus i didnt think there would b nethin after the movie :evil: :evil: ----------------------------------- Asok Thu May 22, 2003 4:56 pm ----------------------------------- I didn't see it, but if it actually exists you should be able to find it fairly easily on the net, I'll let you know if I run into anything. ----------------------------------- void Thu May 22, 2003 6:06 pm ----------------------------------- the twins are dead, but they were brought back by the one french program dude to protect him (thats why they have so many cool powers, like the disappearing act, which im pretty sure that Neo can master) he stopped the sentinels the same way he stopped the bullets, and the same way he brought trinity back to life, he manipulates the code that is the object, altho that kinda is stupid because from what we saw in the 1st movie, its saying that the Matrix is fake, but that doesnt make the people just code, that ruins the whole point of the movie, if they are only code, why bother saving them?.....wateva....that movie has turned from a movie with a really nice point to a movie with alot of slo-mo and super fast fighting and a lot of computer terms...like the backdoor of programs...my sis got so confused at that part....(shes in gr.7, so she doesnt know jack-shit about programing)...she understood the concept, just one huge halway leading to everything...but the whole programing aspect of it was kinda confundering for her....yea...GREAT MOVIE THO... just hope that they tie up their loose ends in the upcoming movie(s).... ----------------------------------- Catalyst Thu May 22, 2003 6:23 pm ----------------------------------- 1: the people arent code, the representations of them in the matrix are 2: how does he stop the sentinels like the bullets when he is outside the matrix? (wild guess: matrix in a matrix) ----------------------------------- Asok Thu May 22, 2003 6:34 pm ----------------------------------- 3 main theories: 1. matrix within a matrix 2. It was in the radius of the EMP used prematurely (long shot because of the whole "I can feel them thing. 3. In the diologue between neo and the architect, the architect says the Prophecy is another form of control. As such some people believe that the Prophecy was designed so the one doesn't realize his true power. I'm leaning more to number 3 ----------------------------------- Tony Thu May 22, 2003 7:05 pm ----------------------------------- i dont think it was neo... the guy is powerless outside the matrix... thats like me trying to use mortal combat moves that I mastered in the game... Also it cannot be EMP.. as it would reach the machines that destoryed those ships first :wink: Besides, as it expands, its intensity decreaes and at sertain point it becomes 0 I think it was a new EMP from the ship that picked the crew up... as for the Prophecy as a form of control... its just to get the one to that weird room and restart the cycle... apparently it worked for the previous 5 matrixes ----------------------------------- Catalyst Thu May 22, 2003 7:12 pm ----------------------------------- it would kind of suck if it turned out to be the emp from the other ship (if it was why did he collapse?) ----------------------------------- Asok Thu May 22, 2003 7:12 pm ----------------------------------- i dont think it was neo... the guy is powerless outside the matrix... thats like me trying to use mortal combat moves that I mastered in the game... Asok: "We'll see about that!" *Asok moves back a step, and forward a step 3 times* Tony: "What on earth are you doing?" Asok: "Bycicle Kick!" ----------------------------------- Solo Thu May 22, 2003 8:35 pm Powerless outside the matrix ----------------------------------- Neo didnt really know he was in the matrix untill they took him out, there is nothing that tells them they arnt in another matrix which is run as a failsafe for the first one. As the architect said, 99% of the people take the program well, the other 1 % get to choose, but neo is the exception. I think that he realised that Zion is just a safeguard to keep everything under control, to give people a feeling of rebelion, because thats another thing humans cant live wihout. ----------------------------------- Prince Thu May 22, 2003 10:03 pm ----------------------------------- matrix within the matrix would b a pretty cool idea but if that wer so wouldnt the agents hav been able to get into Zion a looooong time ago... and on top of that wouldnt that mean they wouldve been able to perfect their system long b4 we got to this point... and yea, that architect dude was confusin wen he was talkin bout choices and crap, but hopefully that wont happen again... o and btw, seein as how im not a master programmer and never cared less b4, can sumone explain wat backdoors r used for :oops: ----------------------------------- Catalyst Thu May 22, 2003 10:05 pm ----------------------------------- entry points into a program or system made by the programmer (secretly of course) to allow themselves access to the system/program ----------------------------------- Tony Thu May 22, 2003 10:31 pm ----------------------------------- let me give you an example of a backdoor... If I was to create additional page on this website that will bypass the security (passwords and such) it would be a backdoor to this website and even if dan changes all the passwords, I can just load up the page that will bypass the passwords and get me right to the files :twisted: that would be a backdoor... as for the matrix inside the matrix... I suppose its possible... but then why did neo fall after machines stoped? and if architect dude is telling the truth (which he probably does as its the only bit of background story in the movie further explaining workings of the matrix) then why would they kill off the population of outer matrix 5 times? ----------------------------------- Prince Fri May 23, 2003 10:10 am ----------------------------------- mayb theyre all sadists and just enjoy killin ppl :twisted: ----------------------------------- Ravage Fri May 23, 2003 12:10 pm ----------------------------------- mayb theyre all sadists and just enjoy killin ppl :twisted: No becuz then it's be another stupid horror movie such as Scream 4 or something gay like that. And If it's a matrix inside of a matrix that would be really gay, like a movie that builds up and builds up and in the end the guy wakes up and realizes it's just a dream. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri May 23, 2003 12:43 pm ----------------------------------- i dont think you can fall uncontinous in a dream... Besides, dreams tend to be much more random and you dont feel pain... So matrix is obviously not a dream. ----------------------------------- Asok Fri May 23, 2003 12:52 pm ----------------------------------- pretty detailed dream... ----------------------------------- Dan Fri May 23, 2003 5:40 pm ----------------------------------- has any one played the enter the matrix game? it is kick ass, espeltey when you bet then game and get the soward wpeaond and get to see a perview cilp from matrix 3 ;) ----------------------------------- Prince Fri May 23, 2003 7:17 pm ----------------------------------- And If it's a matrix inside of a matrix that would be really gay, like a movie that builds up and builds up and in the end the guy wakes up and realizes it's just a dream. omg thats exactly wat me and my friends wer thinkin after we saw the movie :shock:... scary ----------------------------------- Martin Fri May 23, 2003 9:41 pm ----------------------------------- Sorta like Vanilla Sky. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri May 23, 2003 11:17 pm ----------------------------------- that movie (Vanilla Sky) sucked soo much... was way too confusing and not much action... I dont even remember why I went to see it in first place... I think my friend asked me to :? ----------------------------------- Ravage Sat May 24, 2003 12:59 am ----------------------------------- i dont think you can fall uncontinous in a dream... Besides, dreams tend to be much more random and you dont feel pain... So matrix is obviously not a dream. True, however is it not from dreams that we get dejavu (or however you spell it), in which in the first matrix was said that was the indication of a glitch. Also there have been cases that people have had heart attacks from dreams. As well all the matrix is, is a program in which gives electrical impulses to the brain to display an image, seems quite a bit like a dream to me. I'm just saying that a matrix within a matrix is like a dream within a dream, or even a tv show within a tv show. So I dont think they'd throw that wild card down. lol and if you can imagine falling unconscious then you can in a dream as well. ----------------------------------- Martin Sat May 24, 2003 1:25 am ----------------------------------- Vanilla Sky was awesome! ----------------------------------- Martin Sat May 24, 2003 1:26 am ----------------------------------- Favourite thing about the matrix: reloaded: The 'orgasmic' chocolate cake :D I had to have been laughing for about 5 minutes. Now, here's my dilema (sp?). If Neo can fly, and Smith can copy himself endlessly, why do they fight each other? ----------------------------------- Asok Sat May 24, 2003 8:55 am ----------------------------------- because smith wanted to get a copy of himself on neo killing him, and neo wanted to kill the smiths (no pun intended directed to the band 'the smiths') so he didn't fly away till he realized he couldn't win. ----------------------------------- naoki Sat May 24, 2003 10:53 pm ----------------------------------- fight scenes had too much bullet time (especially the smith vs. neo scene) yun wo ping did well, but adding so much bullet time only slows down the fast paced hong kong action that made him famous ----------------------------------- Prince Sun May 25, 2003 12:50 am ----------------------------------- darkness brings up a good point... neo and smiths battles cant possibly end becus if by sum miracle neo happened to kill one another could always copy itself and neo could fly away and blah blah blah and it would consume the entire movie :?... wat the hell is the point of smith bein able to copy himself neway, doesnt do him much good ----------------------------------- Tony Sun May 25, 2003 1:05 am ----------------------------------- I wish I had that much time on my hands... http://www.brickfrenzy.com/space_neb.html Its morpheous' ship... made out of LEGO :lol: Quite detailed actually... If I had this in my basement, I'd go get myself a digital camera and film a LEGO Matrix! 8) It would probably look quite cool too :wink: I just dont have that much time.. or LEGO blocks :? ----------------------------------- JSBN Sun May 25, 2003 9:42 am ----------------------------------- w00t i saw the matrix lastnight... it was good go here: http://maddox.xmission.com/matrix2.html ,it's funny
