Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released
phreak404 writes "The full theatrical trailer for The Matrix Reloaded was released today. Its in Quicktime, 1000px by 540px, and weighs in at about 100MB. Looks awesome and unlike the previous teasers, actually has some of the plot." As soon as someone puts up a bitorrent we'll post it here.
Update: 04/11 00:40 GMT by J : And here it is,

(includes links to client download, stats, old torrents, fun stuff like that).
It has some actual plot.
Long as I get some of those cool sunglasses, I'll be okay....
To tell you the truth, I never saw the first one! *GASP* -1 Flamebait :)

Don't stop until we've "liberated" every last kilobit of bandwidth from AOL.
Or perhaps I have more important things to talk about over beer with friends.
Which topic of conversation could be more important than Carrie-Anne Moss in a tight leather catsuit?
Code, Hardware, stuff like that.
Behind firewall so no bit torrent...
5.7kb/sec currently, and probably will not get better (on a T1, no less), which means:
waiting 4 hours 42 minutes and 33 seconds to see a tailer for a movie that will last, at most, half of that.
I am sure there is something wise to be said here.
My life in the land of the rising sun.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
...when the only time slashdot even considers mirroring or give alternative sources to material is when the source is AOL, which has pipes wide enough to max out the lines of all slashdot users at once...
368 KB/s 379 KB/s 380 KB/s hmm...i think the slashdot effect is loosing it's power! so sad ;)

Soon the pants will be dropped, and the rulers are going to come out.
I'll bite: Carrie-Anne Moss without a tight leather catsuit, perhaps?
(smiles, sighs)
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
and say "BEST TRAILER EVER!"
Blunten? Don't you mean "embluntenate?"
Seriously, I understand that playing with the speed of the camera can make things more dramatic, but that was just ridiculous! It doesn't work if you keep using the same trick over and over again.

Why be exclusive? Before removal, during removal, and after removal are all interesting states in the CAM system. :-p~~~~

Heck, I'm getting goose bumps just remembering how I felt the first time I saw Neo dodge the bullets.
But he didn't dodge any bullets. He just fell over backwards. It looked silly!

Morpheus: Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Taco: The Duplicates?
Morpheus: Do you want to know what THEY are? The Duplicates are everywhere. They are all around us, even now in this very forum. You can see them when you search for old stories or when you view yesterday's stories. You can read them when you go to work, when you go to user's groups, in the background when you do your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Taco: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave to techno news & discussion, Taco. Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind.... Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Duplicates are. You have to see them for yourself. This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how many rabbits are in the hole.... Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more.... Follow me.... Cowboy Neal, are we online?
Cowboy Neal: Almost.
Morpheus: Time is always against us. Please, take a seat there.
Taco: You did all this?
Trinity: A-huh.
Morpheus: The pill you took is part of a trace program. It's designed to disrupt your input/output carrier signal so we can find similar inputs.
Taco: What does that mean?
Cypher: It means buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye.
Taco: Did you...
Morpheus: Have you ever read a story, Taco, that you were so sure was original. What if you were unable to tell the difference. How would you know the difference between the original story and the duplicate?
Taco: This can't be...
Morpheus: Be what? A duplicate?
Trinity: It's going into replication.
Morpheus: Cowboy Neal?
Cowboy Neal: Still nothing.
Taco: It's old. It's old.
Morpheus: Tank, we're going to need a signal soon.
Trinity: We've got duplication.
Morpheus: Cowboy Neal, location.
Cowboy Neal: Targeting almost there.
Trinity: It's going into the home page.
Cowboy Neal: Lock, I've got him.
Morpheus: Now, Tank. Now.
Anyone else find it interesting that Japanese characters have replaced the American alphabet in the famous green columns of scrolling letters?
Perhaps its a nod to the film's origins.
I'll bite: Carrie-Anne Moss without a tight leather catsuit, perhaps?
;)
I'll just bite Carrie-Anne Moss with or without the tight leather catsuit
nor will I watch XMEN2 to see a superb ensemble cast.

But what about all that shiny-ness! And all that silver and black?! It was like, WHAM, BOOM, ZAAP!
And the part where he goes "I just learned kung fu!" its a crime that he didn't win an oscar for it!
In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.

Welp, after watching that one I figured someone had to go and make a dancing Neos animation.
So I did.

oh yeah.

Actually, most of us don't spend our morning commute making a detailed analysis of the shape and configuration of the shadows under large trucks, or of the way their tires are compressed by weight. In fact, I've never once given a thought to it. So to me, that picture looks totally right and natural because I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT THE SHADOWS LOOK LIKE UNDER A FUCKING TRUCK!
Why the fuck are you frame-by-frameing the fucking trailer? Do you have no fucking life? Get a job you hopless fuck! It's a movie not a fucking documentary it doesn't have to be 100% fucking reality reflecting. It's a movie about a computer simulation of a reconstruction of the 20th century "real" world. Maybe the machines were aware that only 1 out of every 1 billion people in their little world gives a flying fuck what the truck shadows look like so they didn't bother to waste the processing power to render them? Good lord man it's a SHADOW of a TRUCK that's on the screen for about 2 seconds. Let it go.
