How long before there's a Matrix Convention, with lots of nerds dressing up in black trenchcoats, acting out scenes and theorizing about the symbolism of The Oracle, then having a disco at the end of the evening. Lots of geek girls dressing up as Niobe.

Actually, you know ...

  In your dreams, pal. But that's ok. In my dreams they're dressed up as Trinity.

  They had one, and got Keanu Reeves to be the keynote speaker. Here's a transcript:

Not to disparage this effort but... by dodgyville · 2003-09-27 00:16 · Score: 3, Funny

Why do all "Matrix" spin-offs have something with "trix" appended to the end? Two examples are "The Animatrix" and now "The Fanimatrix". Why don't they do it the other way round? What's wrong with "The Matran" or "The Matrimation"???

It's also the same with unix. Why don't programs do something other than end in "x" (eg Linux, lynx, lyx, knoppix...)? They should start with "un" (or if you like linux, "lin"). For example, "open-office" could be called "un-office", and "link" could be called "linlink".

  > Did you notice that Animatrix and Fanimatrix actually end with 'matrix' not just 'trix'?
  Um, actually they end with 'animatrix'.

You can say the same about Spy Game and Inspector Gadget.

" "Why don't these people write their own stories, based on their own created characters, etc etc, then we might have some new worthwhile cinema and new ideas coming though"

Easier said than done. It's hard to get noticed on-line. But if you start leg-humping another hot-property, then you've instantly got people who are curious.

When the setting is familiar, it's easy to get a few people to say "what the hell" and get it.

Don't worry about the noise generated by garbage out there. Look for the gems.

There's a porno version of the Matrix.

Trixxx 02

The acting is like a B movie. Very funny stuff, and ok porn quality.
