Ten-disc 'Matrix' DVD Box Set Planned

    But of course we must honor the best quotes from each of the three movies:

    The Matrix:
    Context: Morpheus jumps a massive gap between two skyscrapers
    Neo: Whoa.

    Reloaded:
    Context: Neo throws a smith out of the battle, where he lands, hard.
    Smith: More!
    More context: (More smiths charge in)

    Revolutions:
    Context: Neo runs out of the train station, off to the left, and we see him come back into the train station on the right.
    Neo: Shit!
