      They're all just dream-characters in Trinity's head, but luckily she'll figure that out before they execute her for murdering those cops back at the beginning, and then the judge will stand up, and start clapping, and then the mean chearleader chick will clap too, but then Agent Smith will come out from behind the door, and kill them all, and then he'll kill the cameraman, and it'll turn out that this was a secret documentary found in a cave in the Yucatan, and that Smith was killed thousands of years ago by Mayan warriors that have been prophesized to return when the world needs them most, and then they'll show the last egg Smith laid that they forgot to set fire to shake, and then it'll all dissolve into Matrix code again, and it'll zoom out to some guy who's been writing the whole thing as a fanfic on some website, for this other movie, that's on the TV behind him, but it turns out he's the one in the movie, and they're the real world watching him, but then one of them will point to the audience, and say "Let's watch THIS movie now!!!!" and it'll go DUUM DUM DUUUUUUM!!! and say "THE END?" but then the Mayans will smash through the "THE END?" screen like the Kool Aid man, and it'll make that record player "bzzooop" noise, and then the crappy rave music will start again, and all the Mayans will dance and Janet Reno will be there AND ITLL BE THE BESST ENDING EVA!!!

      Ooops, I meant to say ***SPOILERS!!!***!! Just pretend you're surprised when they get to that part.

    "It was a thought that came up a long time ago about almost a year ago, and it did not come from the Wachowskis, it actually came from inside the studio," says Veronica Kwan-Rubinek, president of international distribution at the studio.

    People working for a major studio actually generated a creative thought.

    I predict the strongest opening weekend ever and the biggest drop for the second weekend
    Well, Gigli has a hammerlock on the biggest second week drop, 'going down' 81.9%. If Revolutions does worse than that, I'll eat my own socks without ketchup.

    I misread the post and thought it said that The Matrix Revolutions is going to be simultaneously released in the 70s. THAT WOULD be an accomplishment. I wonder what that would do to Star Wars and the LOTR trilogy in retrospect? ;P
