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.

This is a quotation taken from another forum... "Excellent Trailer, I hope we see Trinity's boobies!" -name kept anonymous I don't know about you guys but thats definately the only I'm going to see it, for the slim chance we might see Trin's boobs!!!

On-screen violence does not inherently trigger real-world violence (do a serious/comprehensive google before you argue if you don't want a url flood in a reply), especially when you've got someone doing the limbo in "bullet-time" or performing some very nice acrobatics in an obviously heavily choreographed fight scene (those comments are for "The Matrix").
On-screen sex, on the other hand, does something far more permanent and destructive to the mind no matter what the context (do a real, honest google thing again before arguing).
Two of my kids are (in my opinion) old enough to handle Matrix-style violence, including the stuff I saw in the trailer. However, none of us will be seeing it now (unless CleanFlicks stays in business long enough I guess) since they decided to take the low-road with regard to "scenes with sexual content". The Matrix "franchise" didn't need to go there (and didn't go there in movie #1).
Sigh.
Maybe the one in the fall will take a higher road.
Mind the gap...
Probably the car bit they staged in the bay area (it was some time ago and made the news, what with spies trying to fly over and film it from choppers, etc.) The rest, well, incredibly realistic CGI is getting the be the norm. They just ran the trailer on Access Hollywood and I can't say it sold me on the film. More likely it confirmed my expectation that it's all eye candy and special effects. Story? I'm sure it has one, but it's always so hard to top the first experience, nothing is new again in sequels. Oh, and since there's already the 3rd film pretty much in the can, you know certain things can't happen.
As always, it's sched'd for Friday, May 23rd, It'll be packed anyway. I could stand in line and say 'Moo', like everyone else (what? you think this is exclusively a geek film?) or go see some other flick the hoards aren't flooding.
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
Many people believe that extra-marital sex is simply wrong. You can say that violence is worse than sex (and many, many people share that opinion), but it's still an opinion.
Not to make more judgements on how bad one or the other is, but it is very naieve of you to say that violence is horrendous, and sex is nothing. That is an opition based on your own moral judgements, not based on facts, and you are very hypocritical to badger other people for their own moral judgements.

Heck, I'd mod you down just for saying "don't mod me down!"
Nothing's more annoying to me than someone self righteously preplaying the victim card...
