Reeves once said in an interview that the first film was about birth, the second was about life, and the third was about death. It's also been stated by Reeves, Silver, and the Wachowskis that "Neo's story is finished". And as mentioned, t...

Minor spoilers in the pros and cons below, nothing significant to the story. Pros: Gort is completely awesome. Steals every scene he's in. Matrix fans will likely smile when they see what he's made of (not revealed until the third act). Ke...

Getting married costs too little and getting divorced costs too much. If it were the other way around, there wouldn't be so many poorly planned marriages that any idiot can see won't last, and there wouldn't be so many divorces due to ther...
Batoru Rowaiaru, Close Encounters, Lola Rennt, Boondock Saints, Intermezzo, Spawn, Vertigo, Singing in the Rain, Versus, The Crow, A Clockwork Orange.. Even if I omit all Matrix OST's, I can't pick just 5 lol

MxO, where users hope, pray, and proactively petition for new users, yet rationalize having a population that probably ranks in the bottom five with "it's good to have a small tightknit community". MxO's users have no clue what they really...
There goes the last remaining shred of an argument for MxO being the "official continuing story". Maybe now everyone will wake up and do something useful.
I hate to be the one to say this, because any responses will be predictable, but the reason player events are generally lame and lack participation is because they're based on this game, period. Put another way, a kinder, gentler way perha...
^A good example of how not everything associated with the franchise is canon. Though those could always be explained away with "your mind makes it real", but meh, specious at best.

Neo is questioning determinism (per his usual m.o.), and the Oracle is playfully ignoring his questions because they aren't relevant to his purpose. Instead she constantly reiterates variations on the theme of 'know thyself', which of cour...

Any 'hot sci fi babe' list that doesn't include Gillian Anderson is lacking some serious credibility. Other egregious omissions include Anne Francis in "Forbidden Planet" and Jane Fonda in that po.s. "Barbarella".

For the record, this is apparently another issue that MxOers, for whatever reason, seem unable to accept has been figured out long before MxO arrived on the scene. And again, the first film STARTS in 1998, which on its own negates the 'alw...

Not sure why this 'always 1999' idea is still being toyed with, but it's the right here and now inside the matrix, that is to say, it's December 2007, and in the real world, it's approximately 2207. The Animatrix confirms that, and this ga...
