So I have a subscription to Hotdog Magazine, a cool little movie mag that focuses on the films worth watching and not just the Hollywood blockbusters and pap that spews from Jerry Bruckheimer's brain-cave. Anyways, this month is a Matrix special edition, and they've only gone and printed a whole page of Matrix: Reloaded spoilers - damn you to Hades, you spongy hacks! How can I possibly refrain from 'accidentally' flicking to that page to get the lowdown on what will undoubtedly be the finest film to ever be fed into my eyes? Grrr.
So, should I read them? Tell me what to do, I can't take it any more... the magazine's sitting on my floor and Keanu Reeves is looking at me funny.
"Read me, dude."
Aaaaaaarggghhh!

What the hell is a POME!?
Don't be a POME read the bludy thing
Note to Goatboy and Sagacious One: it was a useless attempt at irony
:P
:P
Trying to spoil the film is moronic and completely devoid of humour, wit and intelligence.
Where's the humour?
Lets ave a go at some humour:
ReevesDrive.Com posted an excerpt from and Empire Magazine interview with producer Joel Silver:
What Silver will confirm is that the expanded storyline was fully in place before The Matrix became a $460-million global phenomenon. "Actually the first script ended further than the movie - you actually went to Zion (the last remaining human city), which we really felt we just couldn't do. We had too much story, so we just backed up a little bit. But we knew that the story continued."
Of this continuing story, Silver offers only tantalising details:
- It is not two movies - "It is one enormous movie that's being cut in half." (The action apparently takes place over one 24-hour period.)
- The aforementioned is a "mind-boggling" car chase that takes place within the rules of the Matrix.
- Much of Reloaded is set in the Matrix and concerns itself with Neo coming to terms with "superhero" powers and the ability to "perceive" the mulitple levles and different "programs" of the Matrix.
- Multiple Neos and Agent Smiths will fight. (Look out for a table-top confrontation in a Chinese restaurant and a fight in a mirrored room.)
- The returning principals are joined by Monica Bellucci, who plays an evil Matrix temptress, as well as Nona Gaye (who replaced the late Aaliyah) and Jada Pinkett Smith who play warriors in the PVC-clad Trinity mould.
- Both movies, but mainly Revolutions, will visit "scorced Earth," where "biomechanical machines" terrorise Zion.
All this, and the Wachowskis are not scheduled to start the most ambitious action scene for another couple of weeks. "That," Silver smiles, "is a 14-minute sequence that is the most complicated sequence ever put on film." Indeed, you can forget the widely-copied 'bullet-time' - Silver promises effects shots so complex and expensive that "they will never be attempted again." (The combined budget of the two films is rumoured to be $300 million.) As Silver says of the special effects, "I really think the bar has been raised so high, that there is no bar."
Damn you, Small Blue. Damn you
:D

Gnarly.
At the end of Matrix: Revolutions, I'd expect Neo to realise that he isn't in fact The One, but is Ted Theodore Logan, one half of Wyld Stallions, the greatest rock band in the world. He then plays Stairway to Heaven, in bullet time, with 205 Agent Smith's doing human beatbox.
