Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Best character:
The Oracle. Again. No question. She steals the show in that respect.

I didn't have any issues with the other actors, but then again, I go to movies to be entertained, not pick them apart.

The fight scenes: they felt a bit staged, as in "oo, we need a big fight thing here". The only real pulse pounder was the car chase (of course) -- that scene really recaptured the feel of the original.

I was expecting more to be made of the vampires.

This film felt a lot like set-up for the finish. I'm looking forward to film 3.

On the onion skin: everyone I've talked to has the same idea. Hell, *I* had the same idea after just playing the game for a bit, after the 'this is the 6th time Zion has been destroyed' bit. We'll see, I guess.

Agent Smith as human provocateur was interesting. As was the bit about rogue programs and back doors (ha, ha).

All in all, very entertaining. Time to buy the soundtrack. ;-)

New Doors were not completely original.
If you've read Raymond E Feist you will have come across his Hall of Worlds. Same idea done in a different fantasy. But it was interesting to see someone else do it, nonetheless. It was a concept easy for standard Hollywood writers to wreck. Which the Wachowski brothers didn't.

Somebody rip my heart out

Somebody save my life

New C.S. Lewis, too
The Wood Between the Worlds. Described in one of the Narnia books.
A very quiet woods, with many ponds. Jump in a pond, and you end up... someplace. Each pond led to a different world.

Sometime you the windshield, sometime you the bug...
New It's quite a Great metaphor too, IMhO.
Jung's archetypes explore the recurrent theme from our reptile-stage brains - the womb; we were born in water! Saline, too.. hmmm.

Do ya suppose -

(Present also in all those dreams, D'Oh! but chicken-boy Freud wasn't into more than silly data-taking; enough to screw up generations with his simplistic tripe and his spin on his clients' simply truthful reports: completely missing the Point of his clients' revelations of actual events, not "wishful thinking".[1] Missed on purpose; so he could retain his 'position' of Importance.


Ashton

[1] [actually eliding.. from first 'reports'] It is by now close-enough confirmed that he was ~ aware of the prevalence of family incestual behaviour in his times. Victorian England's Puritannical surface misled only the terminally naive. And Freud played along so as not to piss off his 'colleagues' with a small opening of Uncomfortable truth. Coward. PHB-mindset IMO.
I rank Herr Freud with those bastards [link|http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/photo51/before.html| Watson & Crick] - for sheer male arrogance (in several aspects) and basic dishonesty all around. Watson's still alive - and won't apologize for plagiarism and patent premeditated deceit, via actively smearing the character and abilities of Rosalind Franklin.
Love to meet the bastard.
New *hits self on head*
Of course! And I should have spotted that; I used to be quite the Narnia fan.

And the book was "The Magician's Nephew".

THEY ARE WATCHING YOU.
The time has come for you to take the last step.
You must love THEM.
It is not enough to obey THEM.
You must love THEM.

PEACE BEGETS WAR, SLAVERY IS FREEDOM, STRENGTH IN IGNORANCE.
