    I'm sorry a chimpanzee - he doesn't like to be called a monkey. The thing I wonder is: who is the other guard they were talking about?

    Now when the theater projector is slightly out of focus you won't be able to see ANYTHING.

    At the same time any average schmuck like me could give them 10 better ways they could've handled the Matrix sequels & V-for-Vendetta than they did.

    But perhaps they couldn't. Perhaps what you perceive as a choice between 10 better ways on their part is a choice, but at the same time the choice they made is the only choice they could have made. You choose to think otherwise, but do you really have a choice in thinking you have a choice, did you choose to have a choice, or did you decide anyway?

    The Wachowski brothers made the choices they made because they were the only choices they could have made. (Continued ad-nausium until the exciting car chase in the middle of the film. To be continued after car chase.)

    Assuming for a moment I don't like V for Vendetta (a fair assumption, I found it to be awful) they've made three movies since The Matrix. I'm sort of shocked I had to spell that out for you, since you had the list right in your post, but I'm happy to provide such services to the cognitively challenged.

    Also, I am smoking Camel Turkish Silver. Don't see the relevance, but I'm happy to answer you.

    A film where the script, the acting and now the image are all flat and two-dimensional !

    Woo-hoo! Next they'll invent super-xylem vision, so they can all be wooden as well!

    they're going to have to use some other trick to draw the attention of the audience to what they want you to see

    I prefer to have the subject circled with a big red arrow pointing at it.

    Why would Keanu be so bad? He has just about enough emotional range for the Robot.
