I like credits. I always stay in the pics until the credits have finished. At our local "art house" cinema at the Uni you actually aren't allowed to leave until the credits have finished. Suits sad people like me who need to know who was rostrum camera operator and what film stock was used.

..you think you're done with the past; but the past isn't done with you..

i wish i knew about cameras enough to care about that. one day though, one day...

so the trailer, pretty *****en eigh?

yeah, i think the animatrix is gonna have a significant part to play in the third act, its likely that the clue to the universe is in the second rennaisance

Speaking of the Animatrix (or more accurately, spin-off product tie-ins) that was the biggest foul-up the Wachowski bros did. They should never have put critical plot elements into video games and anime DVDs. The vast majority of people aren't going to pay for that. Revolutions damn well better be stand-alone, though I think there's supposed to be a second game tie-in. Yeah, I can see the press-release now.

"Features:
Ten more unplayable levels.
Fifty hours of FMV cinematics, requiring over ten CDs.
New vehicles to control, like the Zion mech, with the view camera conveniently placed behind the mech's ass so you can't see diddly."

i dont mind plot sections being in the animatrix, its just putting them in ETM that i was pissed off about.

i mean i dont believe i'm the only one who thinks that Enter the Matrix has the MOST dire plot when you play, and a REALLY IMPORTANT plot during the cutscenes. The problem being you cant just sit back and watch the story, so not alot of the essential parts of the game dont get through. And its not like the game is good enough to play again so people just go without.

they might have turned the series into a cash cow with "buy this product or you wont understand the story" stuck on the side of all the new matrix products.

there's no think about it, Arc, that's exactly what they did.

having said that I'd have bought Animatrix anyway.

If they woulda released an animatrix episode called "enter the matrix" i probably wouldnt have bought the game. its a bit of a joke

Matrix question:

you know when Morpheus offers you the red pill or the blue pill?

what if you're colourblind?

..you think you're done with the past; but the past isn't done with you..

At the risk of receiving further flames, I was wondering... I heard, a while ago, that they were coming out with two sequels at the SAME time for the Matrix, and yet it appears that only Reloaded hit the screens thus far.... was there another one I didn't see ads for, or was my initial information incorrect?

He woulda ask, "Left one or right one?" you silly.

@Larry, the 3rd part - The Matrix: Revolution will come out in December.

but wouldn't the answer be, "the One will already know" or some such cryptic guff like that?

no, the matrix is trying to be too clever for its own good. morepheus was offering neo a choice because choice, as he established, is all we have left.

revolutions is actually out november 5th

colour blind doesnt matter, he opend the first hand and explained the conciquences, then opened the second and did the same...so neo would have known anyway

oh yeah so he did. you are observant, i didnt clock that.

and of course, you wouldn't be colourblind in the matrix unless it was programmed so. you could be a complete paraplegic, blind, deaf and dumb, but in the matrix you could be perfect. so my whole point was irrelevant and misbegotten (as well as wrong)
