Hmm.... This being my first post to slashdot I didn't realize it would just throw it all on one line like that if lacking html tags... most of these things disable html (though I like that this one allows it). Anyway, here's those two URLs in a more usable format:
Wanted to title this "They should have chosen..." but ran out of space in the subject... Anyway. Matrix was a cute action flick. Better than Total Recal. But didn't go much deeper. I would have suggested lain. It's a similar sort of theme about a year earlier. Your basic 'where does the line between the real and virtual world lie?' and 'just what is reality in relation to what is percieved.' There's not too much stuff on the web for it but here's two URLs with some info if you're willing to dig deep enough: http://members.tripod.com/cyberiacafe/ http://www.otaking.org/~hitomi/lain/ Of course lain lacks all the cool gun scenes. And has no babes in leather or dreamboat boytoys... It stars an 11 year old introverted female hacker. But for philosophical content it's about the deepest thing on the market at present. And the level of technical accuracy is unmatched by anything I've encountered to date.
