Reloaded DVD-45 Days
Revolutions -71 Days

Reloaded DVD - 44 Days
Revolutions - 70 Days

Just keeping people informed today

i don't think you guys are right about Revoultuons coming out in 70 days

Yeah fifth of November, 69 days, and 43 days till reloaded DVD

korri gets excited

Korri is always excited... about Neo... (no Offence...I just can't think that some1 can love him that much!!!

ha. lol

Korri, i'm sorry to tell you this, but there are people who think that Keanu Reaves is a horrible actor. I don't think this, but i have friends (extended) that do.

He is'nt a bad actor, he just has a tacky attitude. Lets get back on topic here.

42 days till reloaded dvd, 68 days till m3

25 days til m2 dvd

cannae wait!!

51 days til m3

too long

Hmmm
*Ponders ways to make time fly by*

lock urself in a cupboard and eat creamed rice

How about we all find the Timekeeper and make him speed up time so that it is Nov...

ahhhh good idea!!

who's the timekeeper? if you mean the man from the sumway station in etm surely he should be called the observor as he says "I'm just an observor"

spectator wasnt it

same difference

lol

Well he has like 5 watches on. I think that's why he's been psuedo-named the timekeeper.

And yes, we should find him and have him take us forward to november. Arrrgghh. Too long.....

well aslong as he turns back time afterwards coz i have exams at the same time *sobs*

that's just unlucky

it is....very!!

I have two ideas of who the "Timekeeper" are, and both are minor characters we see little or not at all in Reloaded. The first is the subway, "observer" dude. The second is the guy that we see for about two seconds in Le Vrai, as he is being escorted away from the Mero right as our heros are being led to the Mero. (side note: if anyone can remember who the actor is, i would really appreciate it. i have been trying to remember for some time now, and i cant remember his name or what movie he was in. ) I could be wrong, but that is my opinion.

Oh. 50 days to The Matrix Revolutions
24 days to the DVD!

(Please insert here various yells, screams, and other noises indicating fustration at 50 days being a DAMN long time...)

I WANT THE DAMN DVD NOW!

Rysdigital> There are NOT fairly good quality pirate copies available on DVD (peers around for evil Big Warner Brother).

Omega> there are not words to express the amusement i gained from reading your last post. Too good.

i know, i have NOT got the ESVCD release

i'm still gonna buy the official 2dvd thing though, soon as it comes out like everybody here, i imagine

Of Course. It better quality than the non-existant Reloaded rips...

Can't wait for the real thing (DVD) then I'll give my friend her BL back

*sigh* the waiting game

This is just plain mean of the Wach Brothers. They should stop playing around and show the movie now. I'm not even joking. We've been good. We've wated long enough. Why can't we see it tomorrow? Scratch that -- tonight! Andy and Larry, if you're reading this thread Please, Please, pleeeassee, just let us watch it. We'll even see it like seven times for you, how bout that? We'll bring all our friends and you can charge like $500 a piece. You see, this is a pretty good deal for you guys. You should take us up on this.

Ugghhh this is useless... It's never gonna be november.

Too much Matrix Forum gives you one big headache in terms of having to wait for the next release.

teunis> i agree, and yes, theoretically nov WILL get here, but it is taking too (insert expletive here) long.

if i could smash my head with a big a** rock and be out cold till nov 5th i would so do it

Teunis> i like ur signature!!

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. (NYSEMH)(Borsa Italiana S.p.AMH), a leading manufacturer of high performance motorcycles, today announced that it is teaming up with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to produce a limited edition Ducati 998 and Ducati Monster 620i.e., each inspired by "The Matrix Reloaded." The motorcycles will be on display at the Ducati stand at the Milano trade show, EICMA (September 16-21), and available for model year 2004 at Ducati Stores and other Ducati dealerships around the world. Warner Bros. Pictures' and Village Roadshow Pictures' action blockbuster "The Matrix Reloaded" is the second chapter in the Wachowski Brothers' revolutionary film trilogy. The worldwide blockbuster features a dramatic road chase on a Ducati Superbike.

The Ducati Superbike is celebrated for its design in countless museums and for its performance on racetracks all over the world. In its various versions, The Ducati Superbike has won more Superbike Championship races than the competition combined. The Ducati Monster has become a cult bike that invented a whole class of motorcycle: the sport naked bike. The Ducati Monster Matrix 620 tweaks the category with a spectacular "Matrix" livery, special paint and graphics. It is instantly the most desirable urban street fighter around.

"Ducati is thrilled to be a part of this hugely exciting film franchise," said David Gross, Ducati Creative Director. "The Matrix Superbike and the Monster Matrix 620 capture all of the thrill of high performance sport motorcycling and the spirit of `The Matrix.' Sport bikes and blockbuster movies just don't get any bigger than this."

"We were pleased to use Ducati Superbikes in creating the unprecedented Freeway Chase sequence in `The Matrix Reloaded', and we're even more excited that two Ducati motorcycles inspired by the film will now be available to our fans," said Joel Silver, producer of the "Matrix" trilogy. "Like the visionary action and visceral storytelling that power the Wachowski Brothers' trilogy, Ducati motorcycles represent innovation, singular style and cutting-edge performance."

This fall, Ducati will celebrate the launch of the Ducati Matrix motorcycles and "The Matrix Reloaded" DVD with a series of global events. In the Netherlands, the retailer Bijenkorf, the leading specialty retailer in Holland, will display the Ducati Matrix 998 at their flagship location in Amsterdam at DAM Square, across from the Palace. Ducati France will launch "The Matrix" night during the week of the Paris Motor Show from the 25th of September to the 5th of October. 400,000 visitors are expected.

October 14 marks the highly anticipated DVD release of the record-shattering blockbuster "The Matrix Reloaded," which has earned over $770 million in worldwide box office to date. Warner Home Video's October 14 street date makes "The Matrix Reloaded" available to fans three weeks before the theatrical release of the final explosive chapter in the phenomenal "Matrix" trilogy, "The Matrix Revolutions," on November 5.

comes out on the 10th here

Hated the Cliffhanger on Reloaded... *mumbles*

Has anyone seen Keanu in The Gift? I thought he was quite good.

I actually hated that film...

It wasn't great (a bit different for Sam Raimi) the thing that struck me was that dear old KR played his part well. Some people told me he was a sh@t actor, but in that role at least he did alright. I liked Bill and Ted but that doesn't count

Bill and Ted.. hahaha.. greeat films..

I prefer waynes world, for those types of movies..

Matrix Revolution will be awesome. I hated as well the cliff hanger of Reloaded but luckily we don't have to wait two years in order to see revolutions.

He was good in Speed, all the other films sucked.

I envy any and all jeapsies that can see into the futur.... MAN... DUDE..... OR i could go matrix style...

There is no time,
Time Is only An illusion,
A system of control,
You must learn to breack all rules,
And see through the fake,
the cover that blinds you,
Must see through,
there is not time......



WOAH..... Korri is married to Keanu...........

How many chances do you think Korri will see that?

Omega>lol, I wish we could. But I imagine that by the time we Could build one of those spaceships, it would be well past Nov 5th. Probably past Nov 5th in the year 2040 for that matter. However if we Could somehow manage to make a near-light-speed space ship we would enjoy the added benefit of barely aging for a month.

Maybe instead we should try cryo freezing. hmm. Or hypnosis.

closer to the year 2199... and Omega's right, about the time thing.

I've heard that HMV are going to to exclusive Neo/Trinity/Morpheus sleeves 4 the M2 DVD.

lol i wish

I only realized I wrote that after it did write it

time does come to a standstill when your speed is c (theoretically). the prob is, you can't accelerate to that speed, would require an infinite amount of energy

about that year: more like 2800, btw

Korri, I love Keanu now...

Therefore... he's MINE!!! RaWr!!!!


go 'nana go 'nana GO GO!

You have taken a VERY, VERY DANGEROUS POSITION, CandyKoRn...NOBODY cames between Korri and Keanu....You're gonna have to settle for someone else, like the KEYMAKER...HAHAHAHA

that's why it's called relativity.

you can debate about this; time outside 'the space ship' () will go infinitely fast relative to your own experience. this raises the question: can you experience time if the world around you ages infinitely fast. a question which has no answer

yea, sucks to be a photon, how boring would that be look up, i edited my previous post

well, no. still don't get how that ties into complex number theory. i'll look up that gamma factor stuff tomorrow; good thing i study computer science, not physics

edit: gamma factor is just a fancy word for 'time dilation effect'?

Here:
t_lab would be tme outside the spaceshiip, t_rest the time onboard the space-ship, c is itself, and v is the velocity with which the space-ship travels. Now try to have v > c.

ah, doh, didn't really look at the equation you gave earlier, stupid me got it, square root of 1 - x (x>1) in the denominator.

agreed. o well, i don't like math that much anymore, since it got so 'difficult' i actually had to study for it

Tsk!Tsk! Math is the language of the Universe, as one of my professors once said.

well, come to think of it, i do like the theoritical courses in computer science best. like mathematical programming and stuff. i'm just a lazy bastard :/ there are just too much things that are more fun and relaxing than studying, sadly.

well, that went over my head, considering im still in Calc 2, however, i have a few questions, Mrs. Wizard...
1) Dont photons have mass? i thought that they did...
2) what if we were to control antimatter, to cause a rift and/or huge explosion to force us to c...
3) would we be able to use anti-quarks for these purposes?
4) what's baryonic matter?
5) there isnt a way to achieve zero mass, because if you were to achieve it, everytime you start moving faster, wouldn't you achieve mass again?

well, hope you don't mind if i answer instead of omega

1) photons have no mass. (which is why they can move at the speed of light)
2) antiparticles have the same mass as their opposites (but the opposite charge), so they aren't relevant in this issue (i think o_O correct me if i'm wrong)
3) see 2.
4) i wouldn't mind knowing that myself
5) uhm.. you could go on an infinitely strict diet (sorry )

haha...

correct! i got there 1st!!

This thread is too depressing, it is so long till revolutions
*looking on the web for a time machine*

When I speak of time, I'm speaking of the fourth dimension.
*** Who wants a ride? ***

Reloaded UK - 20 days
Reloaded US - 23 days
Revolutions US - 46 days
Revolutions UK - 48 days
~I don't want any spoilers between the 5th and the 7th capish~

46 days

SpikeSpiegel> I agree. But I know better.... Alas, I will have to keep myself away from this site until the 8th (when I see the movie twice, at least). I go to a military academy and can't get out until saturday. How unpatriotic is that, huh?

Omega> Oh great, someone who a) knows about physics, and b) entertains silly questions. I'll try to control myself. Eh-hmm. Having said that:
1) If a black hole pulls harder than the speed of light, and I were to head into a black hole, would I accelerate to faster than c? Ooops, never mind. Cuz time would slow down, and space would contract (or is it expand) and any light beams I see would still seem to go at c. Please correct me if I was wrong about that last part.

ok scratch that one,
new 1) So IF I could turn into a photon I would a) move at the speed at light b) not age and c) see everything else around me moving what appears to be infinetly fast (is this all right)? If this is the case then never mind. We'd definitely overshoot the movie.

2) How are we doing on that Theory of Everything? Combining all the forces? Superstring theory? We getting anywhere?

See, a black hole is why i thought photons had mass, because if they were massless, then a black hole wouldn't be able to stop them...

About superstring theory...Whats string theory?

I'll leave that one to Omega to explain, but it's pretty friggin cool stuff

45 days... Almost there

Basically, string theory is crap, made up gibberish to explain the unexplainable. I will not believe it until it is a law, and then we will prove the String Theory Law in labs till we pass out. Just like chem labs or EE labs, we already know that Ohm's law works, but hey, lets try and see if it doesnt, oh wait it does, cause its a LAW. Anyways, string theory wont help us. I think the problem is, we cant travel at multiples of c, Is there any thing faster than c, I dunno, but just plain ol normal c would cause shifts in the time space equilibrium. but say we travelled at 1.5*c, then the shift would not be noticed, because the equilibrium would not understand the anomaly of speed, so in essence, if we keep talking out our butt, every night till november, string theory and time travel will actually get us there faster, whew, i said a lot of nothing, sorry for wasting your time. oh wait, thats all we have till revolutions comes out, and then what, a time machine to take us back so we can have that first experience over and over again, lol, GOD BLESS.

by the way, simple priest, your pic thing rocks, what does it mean?

navykidd> well as for your first post:

..... ok

as for the second

why thank you for asking. I've been hoping someone would notice. It's Simple Priest in biblical Hebrew. And then of course it's in a matrix scheme. I kinda like it

Thanks Simple, it rocks like i said, and thanks for commenting on my post, if i remember correctly, you told that joe guy that all of our posts matter, im a little confused, are u tolerant of everyone or not, lol, im Just jokin, i was rambling, its part of the stress of waiting till the fifth of november, im sorry, i just cant take the pressure, oh well, "everything that has a beginning has an end"(waiting till Revolutions)

a black hole has infinite mass density, which is why even massless 'things' can't escape. so, in a way, physically speaking 0*infinity > 0, while in math 0*x=0 for any x.

o well, the omega can probably explain this better.

But 0*infinity is an indeterminate form, it could be 0, it could be 1, it could be infinity, who knows...It has to have some mass, other wise it should just fly by. Also, and correct me if i'm wrong, but if a black hole had infinite mass, then we would be dead, because the entire universe would collapse into that Black Hole...

but for gravitational pull to have any affect, doesn't the object need mass? In order to over come velocity, you need mass to grab onto...or am i just totally clueless?

But if its massless, pure energy, how does the shape of the plane change its direction at all? Oh, wait, is it like the scientist who was able to stop light for miniscule amounts of time, by changing wavelengths, was it? ok, that makes sense, but it goes against everything they taught us about mass v. no-mass and gravity and acceleration...

umm (carry the one, add the 3)... 43 days left
That's one less than yesterday!!

But 45 more than I'd like I can't see it until that Saturday

Man, I'm sure I'm gonna have to jump on this site on Saturday and catch up on all the stuff you guys have said, cuz I ain't comin near this site between wed and sat.

18 days till reloaded dvd in the uk

read my post about education in joeboy's topic.

they always teach you stuff that isn't true at first because you won't be able to comprehend what is really happening yet. when you've mastered those basics of a certain science, they'll be introducing new concepts, which cast aside what was taught earlier.

yeah, but it just seems to be a waste of time, mine and theirs, if they only show us of the whole picture...

well, you understand the basics of physics, if you want to know more, you should study it; it isn't really practical on a day to day basis to know about dark matter, black holes if that's not your field of work/profession.

I am studying to be a computer engineer, so i'll probably get into nanotech, maybe not the secrets of the cosmos, but close enough...

14 days till reloaded dvd wooooo!

2 weeks??? YA WOAH HOO!!! (yes, woah)

heehee

that's in the uk in the us it's 17 days

What about Canada? EASTERN Canada? Say.... Montreal.

i dunno i just no its friday 10th in the uk and monday 13th in the us, but you get m3 2 days earlier, again ne spoilers between 5th and the 7th and (insert threat)

I don't know if anybody mentioned this: But to make time pass ,watch Equilibrium.

yes yes, good movie. Hence the quote on my signature block...

yeah, i agree, just think of it as the matrix, but with a twist...and no machine control...its really good, i give it two lightsabers up...

Welll.... Equilibrium looks a little like 1984 meets the Matrix. But it's okay and definetely worth a watch

10 days wooooooooo

Simple: Forum! Hear me! It is true, what many of you have heard.
The movie has gathered many fans, and as I speak that army of fans is drawing near to our forum.

Forum:

Simple: Believe me when I say we have a frustrating time ahead of us. But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it! I stand here before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I've read something you have not? No! I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the posts that lie before me, but because of the Threads that lie behind me! I remember that for 138 days we have educated these fans. I remember that for 138 days they have sent their spoilers to confuse us. And after almost five months of threads, I remember that which matters most. We are still here!

we're almost there guys... just over a month left!

YEAH!!! (I love you simple!!! haha *for those of you thinking wha...? its from the matrix sppof, MTV style*)

Still a month...well, at least we know that Metacortex goes online in 25 hours...

ok my bad, its 10 days today, i thought yesterday was today

doncha hate it when that happens...? it sux...

i wish today was friday

i have been running around all day shouting 2 weeks!!!

Preorder it! Then you get it on October the 8th!! I doubt that's a special treat for use Danes here...

Spike> Yep! Drop eating!

i did pre-order but i still have to wait till the 10th

mwahhh amazon are selling it for 17 i can keep my food

http://www.romanm.ch/ascii-movies/ascii-matrix1.htm

7 days til reloaded, i've already placed my order, 33 til revolutions

786 hours til rev .. i think

ohhh i saw an add on the TV for it last nite....my mum is scared of me now becoz i started jumping around on the couch saying MINE!! YAY!! in my baby voice

Take it easy, Korri
But it's hard not to get soft knees over Mr. Reeves, so I'm surprised you COULD jump

i know my mum thinks in on drugs....but im always like that when i get excited

yeh theres 2 cool tv spots for the dvd, a neo one, and a freeway one

i broke my grans DVD player!!!

my one on my pc is broke, so no one in my family will be able to watch tv when it comes out

i have to buy the video...do u still get all the kewl things on VHS?

i think you only get the film on vhs
dvd is the way of the future

thats Bull$hit!!

it certainly is
but its in the effort to wear out vhs..

you can only play a single track on vhs
on dvd you can navigate your way though it all, with menus

ok ok dont rub it in man

dont break your grans dvd player then

it wouldnt do wot i wanted it to!!

which was? turn into keanu?

no...i have a very short temper with these sorts of things....i had a mobile phone until the alarm kept going off and i smashed it off the wall

now i see where your violence to trinity comes from

lol id kick some machine butt!!
