Warner Brothers Announce The Matrix: Special Edit
Kartik3 writes "IGN.com is reporting that Warner Bros. is releasing a 2-disc special edition DVD of The Matrix (loaded with extras) on April 29th and The Animatrix (An Anime series set in the world of the Matrix) DVD on June 3rd." If Animatrix is half as cool as the promo comic that was given out at the Matrix opening, I'll like it.
That's what the matrix is.
File under 'M' for 'Manic ranting'
A blue Pill and a Red Pill ;)
I miss Animaniacs so much! is Dot gonna be Trinity in Animatrix?
Oh, wait......Nevermind
Because if you don't buy them the terrorists have already won!
They should call it "The Matrix: Repackaged"
First they get you to buy the Matrix when it comes out on DVD. Then they release a 2-disc "Special Edition" a scant *three years* later!
Bastards!
Great, another form of matrix decomposition to hate.
Well, in two years it'll be just in time for the extended, expanded, special three-movie collector's edition of the director's cut. Brewed with a premium blend of bonus material and loaded with never-before cared-about footage, enhanced with gaffer commentary in both the gaffer's native language and three others, not to mention the several TV specials that you've seen before, but haven't yet been given the opportunity to pay a premium for.
Well the next thing i bet they try is Matrix by subscription. For 4 easy payments $19.95 you will get a extra 15 mins a month for 12 months or untill they run out of footage which ever comes first. It sounds silly but they are willing to try anything these days to make a buck
We substituted the coffee Slashdot normally drinks with "Sandoz Crystals", Lets see if they notice the difference
Here at Warner Bros, we appreciate the free advertising given to our Matrix entertainment product.
We also appreciate how many Slash Dot readers purchase these "special edition" DVDs. It's comforting for us to know that all this talk of "boycotting the media corps" and "don't give them any of your money" is just hypocritical hot air.
Sure, most of you have seen the movie already and could just save your money, or (ha ha) use it to support lesser known directors and actors who could use the exposure, but you choose to give it to us. We thank you for that.
Rest assured, this money will go directly to our pockets, and occasionally to the pockets of a needy senator. Occasionaly, due to court orders and other circumstances beyond our control, we are forced to give some money to the actors, writers, and artists who create the movies.
Again, we thank you dearly for your support of our wholesome movie industry, and we look forward to your future purchase of our upcoming 3-DVD "Matrix Multiplied" set. We know you'll buy it for that extra 30 minutes of footage. And of course the "Matrix Engaged" 4-DVD set which comes out after that, which comes with a set of Matrix stickers with your favorite personas.
It's through your unwavering interest in our products that we're able to bring you innovative new products such as: pay-per-use DVDs, annoying copy-protection schemes, and corrupt corporate-welfare legal schemes like the DMCA.
Sincerely,
President
Warner Bros
though I hardly need to justify my own purchases...)
Not married.
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
Watching the Matrix on VHS is akin to watching The Blair Witch Project on DVD...
There's an extra character who was never seen in the original matrix. Instead of taking just one pill, she took the red pill, the blue pill, and had morpheus cook up a dozen other types.
