The NZA Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 ...like i needed another reason to see this one.... Thanks for the heads-up Chiefy, was meanin to post/find out more bout this flick. All ive heard so far was that: 1) Reeves supposedly sprained his wrist or somethin in a fight scene. 2) Allyah & that chick that was the oracle from part 1 are now both dead, some thing the film's curse. Some are stupid. 3) Supposdely, Jet Li was gonna play a part, but opted for his own "The One", dont know how true that is. 4) The Wachaski bros were talkin bout a "massive, braveheart-esque battle scene between man & machine", dont know if that's for this part or the finale (part 3, i believe the series is supposed to be a trilogy). Anyway, more info as i find it. Meantime, check this out: Quote
BigChiefSlapaho Posted April 18, 2002 Author Posted April 18, 2002 Well... If you want spoilers, I got spoilers Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Thanks alot! Now I have to clean up the drool from my keyboard! Quote
BigChiefSlapaho Posted April 19, 2002 Author Posted April 19, 2002 Ok Ok... ** 2 REALLY BIG (YET SMALL) SPOILERS AHEAD ** ready? 1) Agent Smith is back... 2) He's not connected to the Matrix... Think about THAT! Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 I am, and it sounds more like a rewriting and farfethced story-telling just to bring back a popular character. Anyone else saw LOTR and kept hearing "...Mister Anderson..." in the scenes with the elf king? Quote
JunkerSeed Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 I read the Jet Li interview, and while I know exactly what he means, it's the exact opposite of what an actor should do and I completely disagree. He said that if he did the Matrix he'd have a smaller part and what his fans really want is more of him. Since he's getting a bit older he wants to put out nothing but "Jet Li movies" to give his fans as much of himself as he can. This sounds arrogant and stuff, but I get what he means, his fans just want as many fight scenes out of the man as possible till he's too old to go on. It's the exact opposite of what he should do though. The Matrix Reloaded will most likely be better than the One, especially if he were in it, and his goal should be to help make the best movie possible, not just put as much of himself out there as possible. He should help make great movies, not be the equivalent of a circus act by just taping himself doing amazing fighting. If he wants to make anything in America on par with his older stuff he'd better change his mindset. Oh, and a matrix 2 ***SPOILER*** I read a while back that they were filming an action scene that involved the Neo and them jumping from car to car and the agents transporting themselves into the people in each car, sounds pretty badass.

BigChiefSlapaho Posted April 19, 2002 Author Posted April 19, 2002 Ok... going to elaborate on what I posted earlier a/b Agent Smith. *big time possible spoilers. Not 100% accurate yet...* Remember when he took off his earpiece when he was interrogating Morpheus? Well, from what I've been reading, that event had much more significance than what I originally had thought. It attempts to show that this program known as Agent Smith had developed his own will. The death of Agent Smith in the Matrix awakened a sub-program of Smith which is no longer dependent on the Matrix... and is multiplying (yes, like a virus). Apparently, the Matrix is pretty pissed at this and has it's own Anti-virus Agents trying to track him down. Even more interesting, Agent Smith is trying to make contact with Neo b/c he somehow realizes they are connected. The story could go a bunch of ways... first of all, it's possible that Neo creates the Virus Smith, or in killing Agent Smith he either jump-starts the virus program... who knows. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Interesting stuff. Is what I heard a long time ago true that they're film part 2 and 3 together like they did with Back to the Future 2 and 3 and the 3 LOTRs, meaning that we won't have to wait too long after part 2 for part 3? Quote
BigChiefSlapaho Posted April 19, 2002 Author Posted April 19, 2002 Exactly! *new trailer info!* One of CA's most trusted sources reported that attached to copies of 20th Century Fox's Minority Report, will be the trailer for The Matrix Reloaded. Minority Report comes out in theaters on June 21. Please note that it is possible that Warner Bros., the studio distributing The Matrix Reloaded, might very well release the trailer earlier than June 21st attached to one of its own pictures. What's are the best candidates? How about Insomnia, released on May 24, or on June 14 (just one week earlier than Minority Report), Scooby-Doo? That info is a bit old tho, considering that SW2 comes out May 16th, obviously before June... damn... just remembered that SW2 comes out the same day as my fiance's birthday! She's screwed! Quote
soldier of fortune Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Hmmmm a day with the fiance.....or go and catch SW2, and probably get kicked to the kerb, hard choice!! Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 What does your fiance have against star wars. Here's an idea. See if you can catch an early screening, 10am or something, slip her a few sleeping pills the night before, sneak back into bed after the movie before she wakes up! We star wars fans got to watch each others' backs. Quote
The NZA Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Argh, my shitty version of QuickTime aint workin...found a site that says it has a fight scene from Reloaded, dont know if its bullshit or not, check it out here. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 Was alrgiht. Showed so cool weapon fighting. Keanu has a stunt double for some of his stunts now. Is my memory are wrong, or did he do all his stunts for the first one? Quote
King of Snake Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 AAAAARGH 15MB!! I hate sites that don't give a shitty low-res option, we don't all have the broadband of Jesus you know!! Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 it's not that high resolution to begin with. Besides, who's fault is it you don't have broadband? Quote
soldier of fortune Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 That would be the government, and the Telecoms providers over here Jack!! If it was available in our locality, we'd have it!! Quote
King of Snake Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 The fault would be Eircom's (Irish national phone provider), Dublin doesn't even have broadband yet let alone towns around the country. It'll be a few years till Navan gets broadband. My point is, how easy would it be to quarter the file size to something manageable on a 56K dial-up, its a bit presumptuous to think everyone has, or could get, broadband. Quote
King of Snake Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 damn, got in just before me, I didn't post straight away cos I was waiting for the smilies legend to come up! Great minds think alike, huh?! Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 AAAAARGH 15MB!! I hate sites that don't give a shitty low-res option, we don't all have the broadband of Jesus you know!! Seems to me it's not teh site you should be hating, but the reason you can't get broadband. One way or another, it ain't the site's fault. Without them, we would have no behind the scenes matrix video. Quote
King of Snake Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 I hate both, Eircom for being behind the times and the site for being inconsiderate to potential users. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 You won't get anywhere hating everything. Focus your all hate on one target. That's the way to get things done! Quote
soldier of fortune Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 We can hate whatever the fuck we want, singular objects, groups, or more than one. We are pretty good at that. Sorry to rag on you KoS but Dublin does now have access to broadband if you wanna pay the mental €99 a month for it, its called i-stream its available pretty much anywhere in urban dublin, but yeah it'll be a few years before we get it, unless Dempsey pulls his thumb outta his ass!! Eircom or Eircon ??? ? Which is it? But there is hope yet, the government has pledged money to expand the Broadband network. To other major towns in Ireland, not Navan suprisingly!! Quote
