Matrix Revolutions Trailer Released

aerojad writes "The new Matrix Revolutions trailer is now available for download (direct link) on the official site. If you have plugin/bandwidth issues, there are also BitTorrent links available. For those wondering, there is more to it than you saw at the end of Reloaded." In related news, an anonymous reader points to the BBC News report that: "The makers of the Matrix films are considering only promoting the third film, Matrix Revolutions, for next year's Oscars. Warners, which produced the films, had considered pushing for both of them to be nominated as a single entry because they were shot on the same 240-day shoot, but the academy refused."

    Neo: I know how to disable the matrix.

    Morpheus: How Neo?

    Neo: Post an article about the trailers on slashdot, and slashdot it!

    (Neo posts to slashdot...)

    Morpheus: It's working, the matrix is breaking down!

    (Now, could someone actually tell me what is in the trailer? I am on cable and I can't get it.)

    I'm trying to imagine how miserable shooting that scene in the rain was, especially when you realize it probably wasn't done on the first take.

    Wearing all those clothes, which are sopping wet, and that water ruining the shoes, getting into the socks, and you've got to run in it -

    Granted, I'm sure the actors got a great paycheck out of it. But every time I watch them running in the rain, I can't help but feel for those poor, wrinkled little toes encased in shoes that are screaming "No - keep the mold away! Save us, Gold Bond!"

    Damn bittorrent.

    I mean, I'm sure there's some point here.. but:

    download rate: 0 k/s
    upload rate: 22 k/s

    and this from a country where you pay for every byte transmitted. I'm sure there's a "tragedy of the commons" lesson in here somewhere..

    kill -9 bittorrent.

    wow, the matrix is awesome when there's no plot or dialogue.
