Give me links to box-office please, because for a film that has smashed opening weekend records across the globe, that sounds like the bitter-faced hissing of someone that didn't get it.

I saw it last night and it was excellent.
More Smith please

Nice one Goatboy, it made a good read and it turns out I can use the Jean Baudrillard book it mentions - Simulacra and Simulation - in my dissertation.

I too had been wondering if Zion was really outside the Matrix as a few tings didn't make sense.

I think you might of hit the nail on the head with your idea.

intuitively old chum

I like the theory of Zion still being the Matrix, which makes sense on something I've been thinking about:

When people wake up form the matrix in those pink tub things, why does a robot look at them then send them down a chute? Surely it would kill the ones that have woken up and feed them back to the others (as told in Matrix 1). I think it's so the one that's woken up can go into Zion - they are the ones who have rejected the Matrix, and Zion is still part of the Matrix so the machines can still use their energy.
Yup yup

nice one goatboy, I enjoyed reading that and am now looking forward to revolution that little bit more

Yes Reloaded was a bit of a disappointment. But I doubt the third will be. And to understand what is going on you must see the second. Remember Reloaded and Revolutions are meant to be the one big movie split in two. So its a slow starter.

True it hasn't made the shed loads that it was thought it would. But it is the DVD sales that will make the difference. And it has still made a lot. Only been out here a month. Got weeks left in it.

Very interesting read, and if you look at it exactly like that, it appears the series is incredibly deep. Or not. Depends.

Reloaded was dissapointing though.

Yaahhh for you see, it is not the spoon that bends, but only yourself.

That's exactly what I thought.
Because when they bend it with their minds, it goes back to it's original shape. Yes?
