Matrix Reloaded Trailer Online
cheinonen writes "Trying to steal away the thunder from the opening of Star Wars, the trailer for The Matrix Reloaded is online now in Quicktime format. Must say I'm looking forward to this far more than I'm looking forward to Episode 3."
it's 3 am and I just got back from ATOC 12:00 showing - SHOCKER - the matrix trailer was the highlight of my night.
Well, that's more than EP2 has in the entire movie.
To save you all your $8.50, the Star Wars EP2 story in it's entirety:
Anakin guards Queen Amidala. That leads to discovering a covert cloning project. Anakin sees his mother die, blames himself, and goes a little evil because of it. Big jedi fight. Reveal corrupt ex-jedi in league with Sith. Yoda makes fearful prediction. Anakin get's the girl.
That's it. There's really nothing else to the movie. Sorry, Lucas may have written a wonderful trilogy, but that's where it ended.
Now everyone, go see The Matrix 100 times so we can get the title of highest-grossing movie back from the ever-idiotic Titanic. Star Wars sure isn't going to do it.

Is it at all possible to simply enjoy a movie without over analyzing it like you're some sort of Harvard educated sociologist?
Hey, thanks, I barely graduated highschool, not to mention attending college (I shit you not), so I take that as a compliment. If I want to enjoy something without thinking, I have sex, or get drunk, or break things. Or all three. The point I was trying to make was that The Matrix attempts to be something intellectual (there is a Jean Baudrillard book about the nonexistance of reality or the ascendance of hyperreality or something on Keanu Reaves' bookshelf if you look closely, among other pretentious intellectual in references), while being without any real content. I am capable of watching a movie as entertainment, but it is hard when I am teased by pseudo-meaningful bullshit.
...and this lie crawls out of its mouth: 'I, the state, am the people.'
