The easiest way is to use the "Search This Forum" that's just above the 3 Yellow Announcement posts at the start of the listing of threads on the Movie area. Then, it's a matter of plowing through a few pages of results for older films (you can see the date of the last post for each found...

I think it's helpful to always remember that what's shown inside the Matrix is metaphor, metaphor, metaphor. Once you key in on the character's actions as a function of some sorts, running programs to achieve results, the world inside is actually making the electrons inside take shape in terms...

I watched Reloaded on IMAX 6 times, I just loved watching the visuals swallow us up into the Matrix at the time.

Which is why I get so perturbed by the detractors of the sequels, but, hey, obviously I am deluding myself into thinking I got a lot more out of the sequels than the vast majority of those who saw these sequels. Nowadays, I'm okay with the detractors venting if it makes them feel better because...

I think this was brought up in this thread way back when the film was playing in the theaters. I wouldn't put it past the Wachowski Bros. to have thought out the monitors while filming The Matrix.

I read this week's article in Entertainment Weekly on Keanu Reeves. I had to laugh when Laurence Fishburne sort of tried to see if Keanu was as dumb as his rap purported him to be, so early in the shoot of "The Matrix" he offered to play chess with Keanu, and 15 minutes later Keanu checkmated...

Treat their look/style as Avatars while inside the Matrix. Come on, engage that noggin.

Paraphrasing the Oracle: "You have the sight." I think she also said, "You see the world without time."

I keep telling people that Neo's got mad skillz in the real world, but no one believes me...

It wouldn't bother me if Neo has developed "wireless" capabilities in the real world. This has been what I thought the development at the end of Reloaded signified, but there are naysayers about the implausibility of this ESP development. We shall see in just over 2 months!

Actually, if you want to discuss/speculate on the plot of The Matrix Revolutions, you should go over to the Official "The Matrix Revolutions" Pre-release Discussion Thread.

I have the entire transcript of the film. :)

Neo: These are back doors, aren't they? Programmer access. Seraph: [nods] Neo: How do they work? Seraph: The code is hidden in tumblers. One position opens a lock. Another position opens one of these doors. Neo: Are you a programmer? Seraph: [shakes head] Neo: Then what are...

Thanks, Dan, for explaining what I was trying to say (if that makes any sense). :) Here's the transcript portion of the Keymaker's data dump on the door to the Source: Keymaker: There's a building. Inside this building there's a level where no elevator can go, and no stair can reach...

Again, the Smiths were agents, who are GATEKEEPERS!!! Smiths would know where these backdoors are, but they didn't have the access/key to get to the final door for the Source. Again, the big deal is getting to the hallway that leads to the door of the room that contains the door of light. I...

You still needed to get to the hallway of backdoors to get to any of those backdoors. That was the crucial thing when the power was cut off. Once you're in the "maze" of backdoors, it doesn't matter which door you do through to get to that second to last door. You want to make it seem like they...

You could say just that the Keymaker just went through a roundabout way to get down the hallway to the door before the door of light. This is really not a big deal. The reason the Keymaker went the roundabout way was due to the Smiths showing up. Once you're up on the main level, how you get...

The main deal is to get to that that alley of backdoors that leads to the special door, but they still had to get that that one special backdoor in some way, be it in a straight forward fashion, or having the Keymaker going through doors to escape the Smiths doesn't make it any less "true" in...

There's only one "way" to get to the Source, the trio were doing their best to get there. The Keymaker laid it out when he was giving the lowdown on the whole Source deal. Why is this such a sticking point?

When the Keymaker has been shot, and falls down to the ground, Neo and Morpheus run to the Keymaker. On the floor, dying, the Keymaker tells Morpheus to take some door "exit stage left" to get out of the building, and rips off the key around his neck on a necklace/chain and gives it to Neo so...

Please remember that Agents are gatekeepers. Smith would know about the backdoors, so him appearing there in the hallway of backdoors isn't all that big a stretch. The special key (made by the keymaker) is the one that Neo uses to go through the door of white light. Without that specific...

Or you can just "Talk to the hand."

Reloaded on IMAX is a very impressive viewing/listening experience. Nothing has been edited out because IMAX films can now run 150 minutes long. And the aspect ratio (2.35:1) has been maintained (at least it was for the Imax showing at the Mall of Georgia). The print I saw was incredibly sharp...

Nick, it was 12 in the council at the meeting.

I guess in one sense, perhaps the Wachowski Brothers don't believe that Robots can dream, which would explain the need to keep humans around, for that spark of creativity.

In the council meeting, there are 12 members at the table. That bit could have been removed from IMDB because, well, it was inaccurate in terms of what was shown in the film.

When will people realize that Neo's got mad mental skills?

That WAS the original apartment that Neo met the Oracle for the first time in "The Matrix." Neo's been looking for the Oracle for quite a while in the 6 months since the end of "The Matrix." The Oracle has been hard to contact. Morpheus even convinced Ballard (Roy Jones Jr.) to stay behind and...

Yeah, I think that once you show folks get zipped back through the phone once or twice, there's no reason to keep showing those sorts of scenes, which would slow down the pacing even more, and just become repetitive as the audience understands how folks jack into and out of the Matrix. It's more...
