The new place right now is http://www.eobet.com/alternate-reality/

....but I will try to get an atari.org hosting for it, because I want to
separate it from my own personal website, this time (and perhaps turn the
website into something professional).

> That's because Reloaded was still living off of the good reputation of the
first movie and left a lot of questions, being the first half of the full
movie and all. Besides, Revolutions answered all the questions, so what was
there to talk about? The best part of Reloaded was Colonel Sanders... And
Trinity's 5 story tall ass in IMAX theaters (I'm not being sexist, my
girlfriend agrees).

> There was no Colonel Sanders moment in Revolutions. It was just a straight
action movie with philsophical pretentions. "Let's throw in some
philosophers saying things that really have little to do with the plot, and
make a few of the actors say philsophical things that have nothing to do
with the plot."

> I read an early script of the Matrix and it wasn't as good. Just a few
scenes changed subtly and those made it a great movie. I wish whoever told
the Wachowski Bros to change those scenes in the Marix told them to change
some scenes in the sequals as well.

> And I don't know what The Architect is talking about, it's obvious that
the 2nd half of the unbalanced equation was Smith.

woman, Vaughn's wife, was in Dark City. Ah Melissa George.

> I look at it this way... The Matrix was a great science fiction movie, I'd
be willing to call it a masterpiece. The sequals were designed to create a
franchise. They live in the world created by the first movie without having
any deeper message, and can create spinoffs - cartoons, comic books, video
games, where the first movie couldn't really do that.
