Equilibrium
The_Hiro writes ""Farenheit 451 - meets - Brave New World - meets - Matrix" (minus the overdone wire work). Created on a limited budget, Equilibrium combines the best of sci-fi with the action genre. Unfortunately, the marketing droids at Dimension have neglected to promote the film (release date: Dec. 6th). Chud.com has a glowing review of the film and some pretty pictures. Check out the trailer also."
I watched the trailer
But its a film about tooth whitening? Sounds boring to me.
The Only Thing Stronger Than The System
Is The Man Who Will Overthrow It
Wow... It would be kinda hard to overthrow it otherwise.
Are you there god? It's me, Nine. As you know, people keep making Matrix-esque movies. And also, as you know, I'm a big movie fan. I like to see most movies just for the hell ooop...heck of it. Why, god, do people continue to make Matrix-like movies? Why? The first one was terrible. I tried to leave the theater when I was subjected to the first one, but unfortunately, I was riding with others and I couldn't get my hands on their keys. I really, really tried to enjoy it, but the acting, well, you know. Keanu Reeves was in it. Lawrence Fishburne. I know you never meant for them to be actors. I know that they were meant for other things... like workers in fish canneries, but still, they were in it. And the script. Well, the script actually made me cry. I laughed so hard I cried. It wasn't a good cry either, since part of why I was laughing is because I spent money on admission to hear lines that sounded like they were written by a second grader who ate too much paste. And the story, god. God, the story. Why is a re-hashed version of ancient Western Philosopy, a philosophy that's been around for thousands of years, considered innovative and fresh? Why god, hasn't anybody studied even basic philosophy enough to know that this story is actually ancient? And the plot. Oh god, you didn't spare me on the plot either, you vengeful being you. The plot barely made sense. But why should I tell you that... you're omnipotent. But, since you're omnipresent, you probably had to watch it too. I'm sorry god. I'm so sorry for everything I've done. Please, god, please smite down with terrible wrath and anger all who attempt to make Matrix knockoffs. Are you there god? It's me, Nine.

They should have called the movie "Palladium."

Sorry if this comes out as a flame (no pun intended), but, that's quite similar to the premise of F451 and Brave New World.
other than the frozen 3d shots, what was new in the matrix? with the exception of that new tech, all the other crap had been done before, maybe not with such a large budget, but still done before.
Do these Goverment Agencies/Ultra-companies/Secret societies ALWAYS create the ultimate weapon then invariably decide to turn against him?
They try to arrest him with 3 people.
Yeah, like that Saturday Night Live skit where they show a clip of black-clad ninjas attacking two karate masters and then the ninjas are all sitting in their locker room at their hideout nursing their injuries and talking about how they could have done better.
"Why do we always attack one at a time?!"
"And when we do attack at the same time, let's try not to do a running attack directly opposite each other, because the guy always just moves out of the way and we clunk our heads together..."
Funny stuff.
why run from Vincenzo?
"just let the folks at slashdot know about it! instantaniously all your advertising to your target group is done for you..."
And given our track-record so far, I'd say ur gonna end up with a cancelled flick.

Okay, I'll give it a go:
fUck yOu.
They've obviously never read the "how to be an evil genius" book.
I for one, will make damn sure to not make my daring last minute escape via a helicopter with its rope/chain ladder.

The nice thing about the English language is its flexbility. New words are introduced all the time. Give up that capability of our language, and you make English an extinct language.
I'd suggest you and everybody else be tolerant instead of acting like common use of a shorthand word will result in an embiggening of illteracy.
