Matrix Reloaded!

[Enticing]

I\'m so jazzed this sequel FINALLY starts today! I am going to the 10 am show (hey it\'s my day off). Anybody else geeking out today over this film?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Elana]

Stolen from FTR.....Et Tu, Enticing? Et Fuckin Tu?

[Enticing]

I must have missed something. Did FTR start a Matrix thread?

It wouldn\'t surprise me, apparently we\'re both film geeks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I will not allow you to put FTR in the category of Matrix film geek. I would be crushed if I found that she was a Matrix fan. Crushed I say! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Enticing]

Well wake her the hell up and let\'s ask. (Maybe she\'s already at the flick!)

I\'m getting my keys.... I\'m out the door... (stomp stomp stomp)

It\'s not the science fiction, it\'s the metaphysical message of Matrix that I love. Ahhh yeah!

Cmon FTR meet me at the Bijou!

Ceee ya! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Elana\'s stealing my line to Phantom, \"Et tu, Phantom? Et fuckin tu?\" which she thought was funny and no one else was amused by. Sometimes I think she\'s the only person who gets my sense of humor. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Not into the Matrix. Yesterday passing by the Warner theater, tho, there was a huge crowd, HUGE ... that light is always a two light wait, so I had time to check out the marquis - Matrix people. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif In droves. So if I\'m not into it, looks like it\'s everybody less me.

Hip me to the metaphysical message, Enticing, so I can like it too.

[Xehupatl]

Check out Plato\'s cave analogy, baby! And much more .. who needs those darned action scenes anyway?

[Sexyredhead]

That\'s ok, Enticing honey. There are apparently not enough good movie geeks on this forum. I\'m gonna go see it this weekend, though probably not till Sunday. So you can brag, but you can\'t give details!!!!

[pelotudo]

Yeah, don\'t give the spoilers. I want to go tonight, but don\'t see that happening...so it looks like tomorrow night before I leave for Gainesville Sat morning if I want to see it this weekend.

-Jon

[tallmacky]

I\'m going tonight and hope to ruin it all for you guys, oh I only kid around, I hope I don\'t get my hopes too high up now cause I expect alot from this.

By the way this movie is going to blow Spiderman\'s box office numbers out of the water, I am guessing opening weekend will be I don\'t know hhehe but more then spiderman

[Elana]

What a bunch of frikken dorks! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You know u want it though :P

I\'ve having really high hopes for this movie too. The only way I think this movie could be a flop is if all they do is sit around and smoke pot the entire thing...other than that, the movie is going to r0x0r. Spider, pfft...what Spiderman? Matrix owns Spiderman.

[Skyy]

I will have Matrix Reloaded in my possession in 4 hrs /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[druid]

elana what is wrong with the matrix? I guess all the philosipcal overtones to the movie go right over that pretty little head of yours /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

FTR-check out descartes waking dream stuff to get a big chunk of the philosphy hidden in the matrix. Also there is a book called \"The Matrix and Philosophy\" by William Irwin. It is a pretty good book to point out all the philospical topics in the matrix, and is also a great philosphy primer (just about every major topic from phylosphy is represent in the movie). It really makes it easier to understand philosphy because the author takes a piece of pop. culture and discets it.

PS-I am leaving right now to go see it. I just hope their ain\'t too many geeks in my way. I can\'t wait to see the car chase scene.

Stealing it from one of the download sites?

[Gerund]

It ain\'t the same if you don\'t see it on the big screen~

So this prolly wouldn\'t be a good time for me to go into \"Star Trek\" mode? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[upsidedown]

So, what is your preferred genre of movies Elana? BTW, I\'m not a Matrix fan myself...although I have been known to enjoy the Star Trek movies. Live long and prosper!

[Watcher]

I might see it for the special effects, i will wait until it all settles down, maybe see it next week.

Gay, solo jack off videos. Thanks for asking /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Enticing]

Jeez I couldn\'t get back on the forum this afternoon for anything. Apparently I was the only one stuck in the Matrix. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hmmmm .. not to spoil anything, but I have to give it one thumb up and one thumb down, maybe my expectations were too high. The sensual scenes, though, were fantastic! One of the fight scenes, I thought felt a little stiff, and Morpheus has a gut! I would have thought he\'d firmed up for this role...

Last but not least... the ending... auughh.. just priming you for November to go see Matrix 3... I hate that.

And as far as metaphysical, FTR, I just meant the whole \"reality is what you decide it is\", just electrical impulses between your ears tell you whether your life is wonderful or horrible, .. powerful concept. There\'s so much more to it, but that\'s the basic concept. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[tallmacky]

I just got back from it Enticing, only one thumb up what the F3CK??

NOT A SPOILER
In the beginning I was a bit worried if this one would match up to the first but in the early middle I began to realize how great this movie would be, all I have to say is wow as for special effects its in every frame almost and almost unnoticible (yes, its getting that good), like the first movie I was wondering how the twisted ending would be, the time leading up to the ending and revalations was pure genius damn it I love that, it may be hard for those not paying attention or those who are a bit slower to grasp, all in all I would wait a day or two because it was packed in there but I wouldn\'t wait long I am sure you will catch the matrix fever, or be in awe a bit, I guess you have to be attracted to this stuff to like it as I did.

BTW see the first one before you see reloaded.

[pelotudo]

Oh man, I want to go see it so bad. Hoping to go tomorrow night, if not I\'m going to have to wait till Sun when I get back from GVille.

[druid]

i just got back. fcking awesome. I will probably see it again either this weekend or next. again, awesome movie.

Big sci-fi fan here, so I don\'t think I\'m going to dislike The Matrix Re-loaded. For what I heard this is \"a thinking man\'s sci-fi movie\" with extremely good computer-generated special effects. I\'m going to watch it this Saturday and see for myself.

Regarding Satan:

Job 1:6 . . And Satan also came among them. Vs. 8 And the Lord said to Satan, \"Have you considered My servant Job?

1 Chronicles 21:1 Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif I\'m confused. Are these writings making reference to Satan not from the Jewish scriptures?

Hey Elana -- how do Jews feel about the Easter Bunny? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[druid]

well I meant santan (as in hooved feet, pitch tell, etc.). I misread elana\'s post.

but jews don\'t believe in santan, hell, etc.? I have never read the bible completely but I have read parts of it. And didn\'t santan tempt adam and eve? that part was from the old testment(the non-jesus half of the bible, also I always thought that jesus is what seperates the jews and christians? am I wrong again?)

Hey Druid...you\'re still misspelling it. It\'s not saNtan...it\'s Satan! You\'re putting in an \"N\" that\'s not supposed to be there.

All this because I said Santa! Geezzzzzzzzzzzzz! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Makes me wanna jelq! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

sorry guys I can\'t spell to begin with plus this has been a very bad day.

[upsidedown]

Not much activity online tonight. I guess everybody has gone out to see Matrix Reloaded tonight rather than posting hit stories.

[Elana]

OK people. Let\'s try this one more time.
Jews don\'t believe in hell. We don\'t believe Jesus is our savior. We don\'t believe in Santa. We don\'t believe in the Easter bunny. If you see us with a dark spot on our forehead, it is just grease from a brisket pan. You will never see us eat ham at Chanukah. Satan is someone I dress up as for Halloween. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Matrix Reloaded is AWESOME!! I watched The Matrix a lot of times and was worried that the
sequel(s) would suck in comparison, but Matrix Reloaded really exceeded my expectations - in some ways even better than the first. Brilliant script and the casting was great - won\'t spoil it for those who haven\'t seen it yet, but some parts were sheer brilliance. Got to see it again next weekend!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I loved Reloaded. Saw it today while I was up in Gainesville, and it was great. It has some slow parts, but those are expected as they went more in depth in to explaining the storyline, and it gets two thumbs-ups from me. Trin is looking old though, not nearly as hot as the first :P

The foundations of Christianity and Islam are based almost wholly on the Old Testiment.During the later period historions mentioned Jesus as being born in Bethlehem, and grew up to be a religious \"jewish\" man.He attended synagogues, studied the Torah, went about always with a head cover.He never even tried to contradict the jewish faith, and the only difference in his preachings are his modern methods as it was considered at that time.

[tallmacky]

That\'s true many people forget Jesus was a Jew, especially bigots hehehe.

A few years ago I was in some awful rodent infested crawl space reworking some

really screwed up plumbing. I was bent and twisted like a pretzel. Hardly any room to move at all. I was tired and

beyond frustration and truly at the end of my abilities to get the new plumbing in. In total despair I bowed my head

and asked the Lord why he was never around when I really needed him. Then...I heard a voice! Just as clear as could

be. As if the person was right there next to me. "Hey" ,said the voice. "I was a carpenter, not a plumber!"

Everything was OK after that.:D
