Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you here. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Neo: Being trans.
Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
Neo: Yes.
Morpheus: Being trans. It is all around you. Even now, in this very room. You can feel it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the feeling that you have buried, that your whole life, you have been living a lie, that only now, can you admit. Look into you heart, Neo, and live, free. Free from the lie that you have kept since before you could remember. Free from the pain that the lie has caused. See with your real eyes, what you really are.
Welcome Neo, to the real world.
Morpheus: I didn't say it would be easy Neo, I only said it would be the truth.
Trinity: My name's Trinity.
Neo: *The* Trinity? Who cracked the IRS d-base?
Trinity: That was a long time ago.
Neo: Jesus...
Trinity: What?
Neo: I just thought... you were a guy.
Trinity: I was, then.
Agent Smith: It seems that you've been living two lives. One life, you're Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company. You have a social security number, pay your taxes, and you... help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived behind a locked door, in soft cotton, silk. And nylons. Where you go by the alias "Wanda" and live a wondrous life, an hour at a time. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not. I am sure, Mr. Anderson, that you will choose the one which makes you the happiest.
Morpheus: [to Neo who is choosing Spiro and Estradiol pills] Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
Cypher: [referring to a patch] Dozer makes it. It's good for two things, leaving phone messages and growing breast tissue.
So which pill did the co-director of that film take?
Lana, you totally rock.
This is the most epic thing i've read in a while. And now that I remember that Lana was (one of) the director(s), it kinda makes sense lol.
Its on AMC right now, and the quotes jumped out at me, to change and write for us.
Yeah I know and all and The Matrix was brilliant and everything but then they went and made those OTHER two films and, well. They kind of ruined everything didn't they?

Yeah I had to turn off Revolution. Was getting dumb after first 15 mins..
This made my day! Thanks for helping me smile today. :)
Nice. Yeah as typical of Hollywod, the Matrix has SOOoo much potential for social commentary and metaphor that got wasted...
So much love for this. And also:

I just pretend there aren't any sequels.
Yeah looking back I wander how much Lana was putting herself into the matrix.
Not enough. The Matrix could have been such a mind-f#ck on so many levels if the writing had been better/more ambitious (ie: "Fight Club"). Instead it (and esp. the sequels) turned into an excuse for martial arts and gun-play porn.
The Matrix - A seriously great piece of filmmaking.
Reloaded? Pretty good, love Trinity on the Ducati, but the film hasn't aged well. Awesome RATM closing song, have it on my iPod and it gets me fired up every time.
Revolutions? Er, yeah.

I think that's for the best.
Likewise, Phantom Menace doesn't exist. ;)
Which menace? ;)
I'm more of a piratical wench, and Dead Mans Chest was an awful piece of film.. Worst Disney ever undertook.. At Worlds End was ok, best musical score of the four movies.. Only saving grace of On Stranger Tides was Penelope Cruz, and the mermaids. But then the dysphoria kicked in, me wanting to be any of them. =(

I actually liked the Phantom Menace, the other two and them saying the Force was micro organism not so much...
Back on topic anyone remember the Matrix Online game? hehe
