Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon
CrazyMFW writes "'The Helix Loaded', a feature length spoof of the Matrix, has been unveiled to coincide with the general release of The Matrix Revolutions. At LA screenings of the third matrix installment, customers are being handed CD-ROMS shaped like a Red Pill or a Blue Pill. The CD-ROM includes a teaser trailer as a quicktime movie, and directs users to the web site for The Helix. The teaser trailers can also be downloaded from the site. No release date is mentioned for the film, but it does promise several further teaser installments at 2 week intervals - so we should learn more in the next couple of months. From the brief clips it looks like they've done a good job imitating the Matrix CGI on a low-budget."
They're called Matrix reloaded and Matrix revolutions.
bwhahahahahaha!
Oh wait. You weren't kidding.
In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.
The blue pill trailer has less action, just to warn you all.

I really hate signatures, but go to my website.
While it's cool to see what amatures can do on a low budget I haven't seen any fan spoofs of the matrix that are actually funny. Matrix ping pong got a laugh out of me though.
"Unfortunately, no one can be shown what the helix is.... Because the site has been slashdotted!"
Slightly offtopic, but funny and certainly applicable to this message board...
Last night when I went to see Matrix Revolutions, they aired the typical "please don't pirate movies" ad, but it was upside down and played in reverse (including the sound). All the rest of the ads were normal, so it's obvious that someone that worked at the theater was making a point.
The audience was about 1/2 full and just about everyone was high school senior (or maybe college) crowd excepting a few of us 30-somethings. But everyone was laughing and found it highly amusing (perhaps more so than the movie itself).
Who will buy me a new cdrom-drive when these "oval, pill shaped CD-ROMS" destroy my current one?
Pick the blue CD-ROM. When you insert it into your PC, your system will reboot into Microsoft Windows and you won't remember ever changing your system configuration.
If you pick the red one, your chair will pull itself out from under your butt and you'll find yourself in the storm sewer. But at least you won't be running Windows.
[ObReality: If these shaped CDs haven't torn up anyone's reader, you should be safe with a simple oval.]
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
Most PC users will just give up trying to watch the trailer after Quicktime crashes on them over and over, but the Mac users that slide the pill-shaped CDs into their slot load drives are the ones who are really going to have a fit.
They can read "The Helix has you" in nice, blurry, anti-aliased text, as the CD goes "ker plunk" and plugs up the CD drive.
Dot dies? Does Megabyte finally win, then?
Yea like I'm going to download something from shithole.penix...
Somebody else can be the test dummy.

"Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus Rex."
If it doesn't contain a dying scene directed so terribly slow and boring that the whole audience goes "just die for christsakes!", it isn't a good spoof! :-)
(You have to see Revolutions to get this. On the other hand, please don't!)
Actually, I think it should be (+5: Stupid) or (+5: wrong) - that way, people will get to see these. if it's -1, they'd dissapear and we'd lose a few laughs.
What changed under Obama? Nothing Good
...wait through the entire heartfelt add..then...when the theatre is in shock and silenced from the horrible truths that are exposed a message will fill the screen:
"Stop Pirates"
At that point, in your best pirate voice say, "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Good times.
Life is like pants... fit in or you don't fit in.
