Pushing the Envelope For Matrix Reloaded SFX
BenTheDewpendent writes "I just read Steve Silberman's article on the Matrix Reloaded over at wired. I was only slightly anxious to see it previous to reading the article but what they are able to do technicaly now will put bullet time to shame."
there is no troll.
...hey, it worked!
The wise follow a damned path, for to know is to be forsaken.
You see, for the last 4 years, I've had to eat everything with a knife and fork.
"There is no spoon" indeed. Bleh. Have you ever tried to eat Grape Nuts with a knife and fork? Or even better, chopsticks???
Karma: Chameleon (mostly due to the fact that you come and go).
If there is a Bullet-time shower scene starring Carrie Anne Moss's boobs then this would be the greatest movie ever. Lets seem ILM do that.
"I am a kernel in the linux army"
it's like cool and stuff...
They're going to have to do better than a lame plot and cheese-bag special effects to reach today's sophisticated viewing public, I'll tell you that much for sure!
This time, it takes half an hour for neo to finish saying "whoa".
yes, but you are forgetting the wonders of sporks
Not sure what this is about...topless women in leather pants. (SFW)
What's cooler than a Toyota Matrix, all decked out in racing stickers?
Oh yeah, baby...Matrix, the board game
How about the Matrix folding bike? Before or after
The Vic-20 fans out there might appreciate a look at the Matrix game for that platform.
Flashback to math class! Matrix multiplication!
So you see, taco, you're only limited by your imagination. Of course, that could be like saying your writing is limited by your spelling and grammar but still...maybe someone can help you come up with something better.
Wow. I'm thinking the Wachowskis missed a incredibly opportunity here. Imagine seeing "There is no spork." on thousands of nerd-sites and in thousands of signatures. Ahhhh. It would have been priceless.
They developed a ton of cool stuff that AGAIN is going to be ripped off by every damned sf-movie, commercial, and friggin Shrek II. Therefore they decided to do both films at once and release them this year. Then they don't have to work so hard to create even better effects in another 4 years from now.
Do really dense people warp space more than others?
from the article:
In the thick of it, Neo is dancing, chucking black-tied bodies skyward, pivoting around the signpost, and using shoulders as stepping-stones over the raging river of whup-ass.
If "raging river of whup-ass" isn't on a t-shirt at ThinkGeek yet, it damn well should be.
Because it can't use a spoon?

Am I the only one hoping for "breast-jiggle time?"
