They Fucked the Oracle
I've seen way too many similarities and ideas in other movies to be too true for all their ideas too be original anyways. Sad, even for a fan like me.

matrix is a rip-off of just about every book and movie those brother-people have ever seen.. that alone doesn't make it bad, though.. the two lasts films make it bad (when seen as a whole).

NO I didn't JUST realize it, phukkface! Apparently, she's taking credit for all the Terminator shit too.
Who the fuck is this Mormon cunt?! They've been disputing it for *Six* years, yet she realized the themes in 1981... something's not right.
"Yeah, I'm gonna sit around for 17 years on my ass and do nothing" (2004 minus Six years = 1998)...

Personally, I'd give my right arm to see this "Third Eye" "script" or "idea" or whatever said cunt came up with...
Third Eye Vision is a fucking kick ass CD, BTW hahahaa Heiroglyphics got the beats that make you say damnnnn Oh wait, that was the Alkaholiks. :D Gravediggaz Nigga, Six feet deep

Heh... I don't think these are really rip-offs. Half the time when you use a dystophia as the setting for your story, people always scream 1984. But 1984 is a rip off of Brave New World, and Brave New World is a rip off of about 30 other less popular stories written before the turn of the century, and those stories are rip offs of about 50 other books written in the 19th century.

I like The Matrix. I dislike Reloaded and Revolutions.
I want to know what this script has in it that means both Terminator and The Matrix infringe on it... I mean there is an obvious common ground between them but nothing I thought could come from just one story.

Uh NO It's not. Look when that article came out. YES, there have been previous discussions about ripoffs pertaining to the Matrix.
This thread is about that article. Which is dated October 28, 2004. God Damn you Aquarians think you're always fucking right

The thing that bugs me about The Matrix is how it is just a computer game with cut-scenes where the trio are told what they need to do next. It's like playing a computer game without the fun of actually playing it.

i don't really understand the analogy. unless you're talking about how much CG they used.

I sure as hell wasn't.
I couldn't give a fuck what happened.
especially in that utter turd of a film "reloaded". nothing happens for two hours, then there's 10 minutes of hasty exposition aaand RUN CREDITS!
