[size=1][color=crimson][i]Well ill admit im not the biggest tom cruise fan and I had reservations about this movie...But when I saw the trailer infront of matrix reloaded it looks really good. The set design looks very good and the battle sequences had a realistic look to them. I for one am looking forward to this one. :smoke:[/i][/color][/size]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]Aw thats lame...I really like Trigun... Why dont they just take out Cowboy Bebop...I love the series but its been playing on Adult Swim for a long time now...Ive seen the entire series several times over now... Also if there removing a series that means there adding another...So anyone know what the new series is? :therock: ***Edit*** OMG I love what Adult swim has done...They got rid of those crummy comic page things during ads and inbetween shows and added alot of fun simple text stuff instead...Some of it is HYSTERICAL...One of my favs tonight is for cowboy bebop...I think it went something like this: [b]mamas dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys...Or bounty hunters...Unless your mandolorian.[/color][/font][/b]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Lets see what came to mind when I read the first post in this thread... :all: While I want to see this be succesful I cant help but feel that its gonna crash and burn...How in the heck will they fit in the complexity and greatness of the original series into a movie? :huh: Im betting anno has not a thing to do with this project...Well if they can actually pull this off and make it even close to the greatness of the series..wow... :faint:[/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Lol well I have been using alot of spoiler tagging just cause im not 100% sure whats gonna spoil it for some ppl :bluesweat: Well im def. expecting a suprise ending to revolutions...Probably gonna be something completely out of left field...That would just be in keeping with the bros. thinking I would imagine :whoops: I just dont see everyone hugging and cheering after theyve brought down the matrix and freed humanity being the ending to revolutions...Do you? :raspberry: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Well im so-so on this series...Most of the mucking with the continuim isnt that bad and some of its enjoyable... I really dont like however what they did to nightcrawler...Hes one of my fav xmen and I dont think the evo version does him justice...I mean wheres his religous side...Hes just a goofy carefree teenager now like the rest of them... :nope: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Yeahhh they got rid of reign...Ugh i couldnt stand that series...I watched most of the eps the first tiem then when it got bumped back to 1:30 i quit watching all together...Rest in peace reign :sick: And its nice to see lupin back on...Its an old series but still prett entertaining to say the least :toothy: [/i][/color][/size]

[spoiler][size=1][i]Well i would like to go along with the "matrix in a matrix" theory but...If thats so why wouldnt the machines just d/c the humans that are jacked into the "real world" IE zion...Instead of going through all this BS of burrowing into the city and what not. Wouldnt it be more logical to just pull the plug and start over as opposed to exterminating everybody in a fake world that they already control? Wouldnt make much sense now would it? Also im not a hundred percent sure whether the architects response of "Please" to neos mentioning the oracle as the mother of the matrix was him denying it was her or him not liking the term "Oracle" applied to her...To a program it should seem a ridicolous name to apply to such an sophisticated program...Ah i dunno but if the oracle isnt the mother that begs the question who the heck is...[/spoiler] [color=limegreen]Also i found this very enlightning...The entire covnvo between the architect and neo...Its very interesting to be able to read it and not have to follow it on screen :worried: Well if you got the time id give it a read:[/color] [spoiler]***********************START*********************************** The Architect - Hello, Neo. Neo - Who are you? The Architect - I am the Architect. I created the matrix. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also irrelevant. Neo - Why am I here? The Architect - Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here. Neo - You haven't answered my question. The Architect - Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than the others. *The responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: Others? What others? How many? Answer me!'* The Architect - The matrix is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version. *Again, the responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: Five versions? Three? I've been lied too. This is bull #$@*%.* Neo - There are only two possible explanations: either no one told me, or no one knows. The Architect - Precisely. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly's systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations. *Once again, the responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: You can't control me! #$@*% you! I'm going to kill you! You can't make me do anything!* Neo - Choice. The problem is choice. *The scene cuts to Trinity fighting an agent, and then back to the Architects room* The Architect - The first matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is as apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being, thus I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature. However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection. Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of the matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother. Neo - The Oracle. The Architect - Please. As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99.9% of all test subjects accepted the program, as long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious level. While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed, thus creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that if left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those that refused the program, while a minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster. Neo - This is about Zion. The Architect - You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed. Its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated. Neo - Bull #$@*%. *The responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: Bull #$@*%!* The Architect - Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it. *Scene cuts to Trinity fighting an agent, and then back to the Architects room.* The Architect - The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race. Neo - You won't let it happen, you can't. You need human beings to survive. The Architect - There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to accept the responsibility for the death of every human being in this world. *The Architect presses a button on a pen that he is holding, and images of people from all over the matrix appear on the monitors* The Architect - It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love. *Images of Trinity fighting the agent from Neo's dream appear on the monitors* Neo - Trinity. The Architect - Apropos, she entered the matrix to save your life at the cost of her own. Neo - No! The Architect - Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you're going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple, and obvious truth: she is going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to stop it. *Neo walks to the door on his left* The Architect - Humph. Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness. Neo - If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again. The Architect - We won't. *******************END************************************[/spoiler][/size][/i]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]I was wondering what you all thought of the various anime/manga magazines out there? Ill give my 2 cents on the 3 I know best... [b]Anime Insider(formerly Anime Invasion):[/b] This has to be my perfered anime mag. I like there sense of humor and the straight forward layout design. It does have its flaws though...They could use some more indepth reviews and such. [b]Animerica:[/b] I like there reviews alot. Very informative. But they also tend to have alot of content thats abit far away from the mainstream that I really could care less about. The layout is abit confusing too. [b]NewType:[/b] I wanted to like this mag...It looked real cool but I cant stand reading it. It has a very confusing and just plain dumb layout. Way too many pics and not enough text/content. That and they cover alot of japenese titles that arent going to be released over here in the US anytime soon...Which I dont see a big point to...shrugz Well whats your opinion on these(And if theres any others that im not aware of :rolleyes: )[/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Well I find there music ok...The small amount of it ive heard...The thing that makes it most enjoyable to me are the female vocals. I just really like her voice alot for some reason... :demon: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Yeah this movie is one of my all time favs...Comedy or otherwise. I just think its such a great premise...And bill murray really makes it work. The man is just a great comedian...Always has been always will be (I still love to watch waht about bob :laugh: ) So yeah Def one of the best comedies around for my money...Ya just gotta love a groundhog driving a truck :devil: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]If hes really your friend ya gotta back him up...Doesnt matter if ya think you wont help...Its the thought that counts :demon: But really my various friends over the years have only been dumb enoguh to get into a fight twice...And both times I helped em. One time we kicked ***...The other was none too pretty for us :drunk: But the fact was i was there to back him up and thats more important whether you win or not...So good luck :devil: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]No new inuyasha eps till july? what the...Argh how come its taking them sooo long...Ive been watching the same set of eps for so long...Theyve been replayed like what 3 or 4x already...Sighz they need to get there act together... Waiting is boring...argh...:flaming: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=limegreen][i]Schrat you should go back and read my previous post for the answers to all of those Questions...Im too lazy to quote myself ATM... :p And james your not rambling i understand what you where saying :cool: [/color] [spoiler] Yeah the question is what would humanity do if we had no hope...No hope whatsoever...The architect has us believe that we simply refuse to keep living if we dont have hope...Im not sure if thats true or not...Guess will find out in revolutions :therock: [/spoiler] [color=limegreen]Yeah i think alot of the critics sour reviews comes from the fact that they dont get it either...So they get annoyed at there own lack of perceptiveness and give it a bad review. Well i loved the film for its philosphy...The same way i loved Evangelion. I like things that screw with my mind and take me a good while before i can begin to understand them (ofcourse im still abit far away from completely understanding eva :demon: ) Well my only hope is that more ppl will understand reloaded after they see revolutions...Heres to hope :toothy:[/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Well im very happy to hear that One Piece and Gundam seed have been picked up for eventual US release...One piece is a very fun and quite crazy series and def one i dont want to miss :D And as far as i can tell from what ive learned about seeds storyline and what ppl have had to say about it, It sounds like one of the best Gundam series in awhile... :cool: So heres hoping that they both see the light of day on TV cause thats the only way im gonna get to see em :naughty: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Well i for one am looking forward to this one. While Im not a huge fan of the early films theres a few i really liked...Im sorry i thought Jason X was good(comeon people he threw a half naked chick in a sleeping bag and used it to beat the hell out of another half naked chick...funny no? :D ) Well anywayz the movie looks entertaining. The basic storyline is as follows (dont worry its non spoiler :p ) Freddy is up to his old tricks down on elm street...But the parents are keeping there kids awake(Im not sure how...Mass quantities of caffine? :rolleyes: ) So freddy gets annoyed...Some how he tricks jason into going after the kiddies in the real world since he cant get them in there dreams. Well jason figures out that freddy was playing him for a sapp somehow and jason takes non too kindly to this...So its throw down time :devil: And ofcourse mayhem insues as usual... :demon: Sounds interesting to me...Like was said befor i think ppl expect too much from these films...Just go in with little expectations and the thought that youll be midly entertained and you'll enjoy it more :p [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=crimson][i] Well i like...heck...pretty much all music :p . My favs though have to be Matchbox 20 and alot of the techno/rock/pop top 20 kinda stuff out now :D . Im more of an folky non electro kinda music...To me all a singer really needs is a piano or a guitar and just go with it ;) pbf I think you need to think alittle more before you post...You may have had a point to make somewhere in theat but personally i refuse to read any persons post thats ALL IN CAPS or WrItTeN lIkE tHiS...ugh... So if ya wanna go back and edit that out of caps id be happy to read your thoughts... :therock: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][i][color=limegreen]Yeah i could def. see quite a few of the audience didnt really understand alot of the movie(Mostly the ones that went only expecting a "kick-***' action movie :rolleyes: ) I liked the control room for zion personally(you all do know that that was in the matrix right? and not in the "real" zion?)[/color] [spoiler]Im not sure why people have a problem with neo bringing trinity back to life..It was to demonstrate he has a great deal of control over the matrix...He simply reached in and restart her heart reviving her "digital" self...[/spoiler] [color=limegreen]Well anywayz i look forward to when i can buy them all on dvd together...And i really gotta get the animatrix DVDs :D [/i][/size][/color]

[i][size=1][color=limegreen]Ok I got to see Matrix Reloaded...it was a very good movie. But it DOES have its flaws. It seesaws badck and forth between lots of eye candy mindless action and deep involved story telling. One thing you HAVE to do with this movie is PAY ATTENTION. You cant just space out on this movie if you want to really pick up on things(esp during a few key conversations) or you'll get lost. Now for the spoiler tags: :p [/color] [spoiler]The first third of the movie drags abit. theres alot that goes unexplained(like was said previously you get more insight if you see the animatrix series) and some of the action scenes are abit mundane. Also one of the most awkward and uneeded scens occurs during this time. Some dumb and out of place giant mosh pit with frequent cuts back to neo and trinity making love...Didnt really feel needed to me. The much hyped neo vs the hundred Agent Smiths was good if abit overlong...It doesnt really start getting fun till neo starts using the pole. Thankfully though hugo weaving is such an excellent actor it isnt corny at all when 7 agent smiths are talking to neo just before the fight(The man is excellent all throughout the film) Now When we get to meet the man who is keeping the key maker(I dont remeber his name ATM but he speaks with a french accent) From here on the storyline starts getting more cohesive and the action scenes more frenetic(and better looking) The Twins are just too cool for words. They dont say alot but make a big impression :devil: Now to answer some Qs that some have brought up with some of my own fuzzt logic reasoning :rollseyes: The whole thing with the architect...It boils down to there has been A ONE six times prior. There has been a zion six times prior. This all has to do with the fact that humanity needs hope. The machines ALLOW us to have zion to give us hope. Without hope we would simply give up and die. This is why the one exists. The machines allow us to have hope in the form of zion...But its a flase hope. The machines destory zion evey 100 years before it gets too sizable and becomes a real threat. Its just another form of control...Just one that we cant percieve as easily as the matrix itself. The whole thing is a continous loop...A ONE is created...He meets the architect...he chooses to create zion anew to perserve hope which perserves life. Only this time the ONE feel in love and instead of choosing to create zion anew he choose to save trinity. Ack ok im kinda running myself in circles here trying to explain it...I saw the movie 10 hours ago and it was more clear in my head then...ill probly have to watch it again... As for the guy on the table in the end...He is infected by agent smith and is controlled by him. Agent smith has "evolved" into a virus able to infect humans and machines. And no zion hasnt fallen...Again ill attempt an explination. The guy got infected by agent smith before he could leave the matrix...After being infected he leaves the matrix and is under the control of smith with none of the humans the wiser. The ship that hes on is part of the human counter attack against the sentinals that are boring towards zion. But because hes controlled by smith he makes him activate there EMP prematurly shutting down 5 of the ships in the counterattack and allowing the sentinals to easily defeat the hoverships.Now hes on the same ship as neo(and as you remeber he ALMOST killed neo (outside of the matrix before except he was interrupted) Now as for him shutting down the sentinals in the end...I think in the process of everything that happened in reloaded he gained some sort of connection to the machines...I say this just cause he said he could "feel" the sentinals just before he shut them down. Im sure this will be explained more in revolutions. [/spoiler] [color=seagreen]Well now that ive rambled on for an eternity...I hope i helped to explain a few things...It was a very good movie and pretty deep...Ill probly see it again this weekend and try to pick up or clarify anything i missed. :naughty: [/color][/i][/size]

[size=1][color=teal][i]Well i hate to sound like a jerk and all but...Just suck it up dude and lean in and go for it. It really is as simple as that. If she likes you it wont matter at all if you suck at it the first time cause first are always special...Thats one of the magical things of a new relationship...Doesnt matter how much you screw up things cause there all firsts :devil: So what ya waiting for eh? Just go for it...Ya only live once you know :demon: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=teal][i][b]1) If you could have any super power, what would it be?[/b] Ah geez...Thats hard...Id have to go with Icemans powers. The ability to increase my mass at will...IceSlides...You can do so much with his kinda power it hurts the brain :p [b]2) What would you do with your powers?[/b] Ah mostly freak ppl out...Make it winter in July :devil: Just mostly have alot of fun :laugh: [b]3) Would you use it to do good, or evil?[/b] Ah id love to say i would be a good person...But the temptation to go and rob a bank or something...mmm... :naughty:[/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=teal][i]Well I dunno...Everytime i read an article about what X3 would be like i keep hearing how much halle has complained that her character has too little to do...Not enough involvement...Yadda yadda. Should have gone with an unknown sighz... :rolleyes: And yeah i agree magneto really doesnt have to be in the next one. Id really love to see either the sentinels or apocalypse in the next film. Ian is great but they dont have to keep putting magneto in every single time... And i dont know about that taking awhile to film the next one...Fox sees dollar signs and im imagining theyre wanting to fast track X3...Time ill tell i suppose :demon: [/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=royalblue][i]Well this is a very good topic...(though some seem to think its a what kinda mutant would you be thread :p ) Im not real sure what id do..I would like to say i would be tolerant but id be lying. Humanity has always thought of itself to be the dominant species and to all the sudden be out done by another breed...It would be umbling to say the least. I for one would be scared as all hell if they really existed. You think we have enough panik today with terroism and viruses? How about having millions of ppl with all kinds of crazy superpowers...Some of whom would be very dangerous...Either because they couldnt control them or choose to use them for criminal purposes. I for one would be perfectly happy if the mutations in Xmen stayed fantasy... I leave you with one question...how would you feel if you woke tommorrow and knew that you where slowly being replaced by a superior race?...To know that your destiny was not yours anymore and you where merely a spectator among a battle between titans...Humbling indeeed...(The Graphic Novel MARVELS gives a good POV on this issue by showing the marvel universe through a normal mans eyes)[/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=royalblue][i]Well folks fox has said there def. will be a third film...Most of the main players are back on for a sequel. Jackman hasnt said no and he hasnt said yes...He may have a conflict of scheduling since hes gonna be on a broadway show for awhile... Halle is def. not coming back...Her ego is just too big for the film and at this point wouldnt come back unless the whole film revolved around storm :rolleyes: Singer hasnt confirmed or denied either...Mckellan will only come back if he likes the script and what they do with magneto as a character. There have been rumors of gambit and beast both having roles in the next film...Only time will tell i suppose... :cross:[/i][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=royalblue][i]Well i could see where metatron would think that...Unfortunatly QA's sticky notice made it seem alittle like ANY fav thread would be closed...Regardless of whether its intelligent, non spam or not... Now i know better but some dont :D Enough of that back on topic... Theres alot of anime chars i like because thats one of the things i like most about anime...The characters get alot of development and are highly likeable. If i had to pick the ones i liked best... Spike: The guy exudes cool. His past is a mystery and is only slowly leaked out. His hand to hand fighting skills are nearly unbeatable and hes one heck of a pilot. Hes loyal to the woman he loves...Gotta respect that :cool: Chi: When we first meet her shes completely oblivous to the world. This innocent robot with the appearence of a girl must relearn everything about the real world around her like a newborn baby. And in the process of this reveals more then a few good and bad things in humanity that we can all identify with. She also has conversations with a dark version of herself...Now havent all of us done that at some point? :p Well i hope i gave good enough explinations...Was trying for informative w/o giving too many spoilers out :naughty: [/i][/color][/size]
