LindsIsTightK
Ever since Reloaded came out and I bought me a copy, it has become my nightly ritual to sit down and watch it while I hang out on the forums. Then I watch it again when I wake up in the morning. I absolutely love this movie more then anything and I don't think I will ever get tired of it. Alright well this thread has no importance, it's just me talking about nothing. wink

Sir R DeNiro
I totally understand. I used to be the same way after I watched Deerhunter for the first time. cool

JediHDM
It is important, because Reloaded is the best movie EVER...and while i have yet to obtain a copy(legally) for myself, i love the movie and will do so once i have obtained the funds necessary for myself to purchase the DVD...oh, and, are you LindsK on Captain Rex' Forum?

LindsIsTightK
I'm something like that on Rexy's forum yes big grin

(I don't actually remember my exact name on there since you can change it confused )

JediHDM
thats cool...

Tired Hiker
That's all I've been doing too, forums and reloaded, but I'm renting soon to be owning.

LindsIsTightK
TH I thought you said you didn't like that movie huh Even if you did I doubt you are serious, you are probly just mocking me stick out tongue

JediHDM
thats what id be doing, heck, i basically LIVE on this forum...and Captain Rex's, too...

Tired Hiker
Linds, I thought you knew? I am reformed. I rented it and I can't stop watching it. I'm putting it on right now, no joke.

LindsIsTightK
I live on this forum too embarrasment I originally joined it for The Matrix forums.............

LindsIsTightK
I'm at the action scene on the freeway rock Oh man this movie is so tight cool

JediHDM
Yeah, me too, in fact, i still post there almost ALL the time...it wasn't until yesterday that i started coming to these other forums...i kinda ignored them, i guess...

Tired Hiker
Trin just jumped out of the window and is shooting agents in slo-mo.

LindsIsTightK
I actually got tired of The Matrix forums for the time being, I posted all of my opinions that I had. I still go in there and read what other people have to say, but I don't post.

LindsIsTightK
I don't see how anyone could not like this movie. I swear I have never liked a movie as much as I like this one.

Tired Hiker
I just thought of something. Let's become bigger dorks by playing reloaded at the exact same time and we all therefore watch it together and we chat on the forums about it while we are doing it, together, like we're really hanging out n'stuff?

JediHDM
i would, however, its after 4 here, so im gonna have to pass...

LindsIsTightK
laughing out loud I have to get up at 7 am, if I do that I won't ever get up in the morning stick out tongue Plus that would mean I would have to restart my movie, how bout we do that tomorrow night though? that could be fun happy

JediHDM
that sounds like a plan, however, not this late at night...

Tired Hiker
okay, what's a good time for you?

JediHDM
well, i live on the east coast, so...is eight your time a good time? that would be eleven here...

LindsIsTightK
I usually sit down to watch a movie at 11 my time, which is TH's time too, but what works for you JHDM?

LindsIsTightK
Oh man thats early stick out tongue Let's compromise and make it 9 our time, if that isn't a huge problem anyways

Tired Hiker
that's good for me, I'm off tomorrow so any time will work. this will rock. Jedi can point out a few things for us while we watch to help us understand better. At least for me.

LindsIsTightK
I'm always for better understanding, there always seems to be something I don't get lol embarrasment

JediHDM
hehehe...ok, midnight my time it is...see you tomorrow, im off.

LindsIsTightK
WOO! Neo saved Morpheus and the key maker! Happy Dance

Tired Hiker
Nice, 9pm then. I love the forums. This is so fun. Right now I'm watching the part where that old white guy talks about giving thanks and closing a prayer. Then he gives us Morpheous. Now Morpheous is yelling "Zion, hear me . . ."

LindsIsTightK
I'm at the part where Morpheus is giving his speech in the infamous red chair "What if tomorrow the war could end? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?"

BackFire349
I'll go ahead and watch TCM while you guys watch reloaded.

LindsIsTightK
You do that cause I don't want your negative opinions about Reloaded right now stick out tongue Me and TH are doing just fine without them wink

BackFire349
And I'm to lazy to post them right now, well it worked out well tonight didn't it? stick out tongue

Tired Hiker
Backfire, I love you. Not butt love, just brotherly love, man. wink

LindsIsTightK
Neo is talking to the architect right now cool

BackFire349
that's the worst scene in the movie.

Tired Hiker
I 420 right now.

LindsIsTightK
miffed

Tired Hiker
Uh oh, let it out BF!

BackFire349
Nah, that's all i had to say. I just thought it was a preachy scene filled with boredom, I watched the first few minutes of it in theaters, but got really bored so I went to take a piss. When i returned i asked my friend if I missed anything important and he just said, "no, same old bullshit."

It was the best piss I ever took.

LindsIsTightK
sad

Tired Hiker
that's funny and I can agree with you because I felt the same way. Now, I think it is one of the most interesting scenes since I understand some of what he's talking about, but not all. I still don't get half of what he is saying, but I learned quite a bit these past few nights.

BackFire349
Okay, since I've been basing reloaded so much lately, I will go ahead and say the only positive thing you will ever hear me say about the movie. The freeway scene kicked hardcore ass.

LindsIsTightK
I was the same way. The first time I saw this movie I had no idea what he was talking about, but now it makes a lot more sense to me.

BackFire349
I don't remember much about it, i do remember i wasn't confused in the least. It was just providing some plot holes to be filled in revolutions, nothing more. I just didn't care about it at that point because of how much philosophical talk there was in the movie. Felt like i was in church.

LindsIsTightK
Link is so funny in this movie laughing out loud He cracks me up

Tired Hiker
Reloaded ain't bad. I don't think I will go and see the new TCM BF after what you said. I might not ever even rent it. I have no motivation. You know I have never seen any of the other TCM movies besides the original?

BackFire349
the second one is pretty decent. the rest are crap, including the remake.

I'm glad my review is stopping people from seeing it.

Tired Hiker
laughing out loud laughing out loud Never underestimate the power of the written word!

Right now Neo is fighting all those agent Smiths. I love that fight scene.

LindsIsTightK
I've never seen and of the TCM movies. The again we all know how much of a wuss I am erm

BackFire349
Yeah, it's best you stay away from the original, it's too effective. It would scare you shitless.

Tired Hiker
I have to agree. Stay away from the original, Linds. Linds, have you seen Kill Bill?

LindsIsTightK
No I haven't seen that. Please don't hate on me for this cause everyone seems to love that movie, but I really don't think it looks very good................ embarrasment

Tired Hiker
Linds, I thought it looked like another Charlie's Angels flick. Is that the impression you get? I talking about before I saw it.

BackFire349
Well you should see it before making that decision. If you liked reloaded then there's no reason for you not to like Kill Bill. It has fight scenes that are on par and that surpass reloaded. Plus (and this is the best part) it doesn't preach or take itself seriously in any way, shape, or form. It is a movie that was made for the audience to just have fun. And it succeeds beautifully.

LindsIsTightK
Yeah that is the impression I got. This is the movie that has those two chicks fighting each other in the living room when the little girl comes home from school right?

(Forgive me if I'm wrong)

Tired Hiker
Yes, that is just one moment of the whole film. That scene by no means does justice to the rest of the films integrity. That was possibly the only catchy scene in that cheesy sense.

Tired Hiker
Kill Bill is no Charlies Angel's flick. It goes way deeper than that.

LindsIsTightK
I dunno, I guess it just didn't look like something I would enjoy is all

Tired Hiker
You didn't like pulp fiction, did you?

LindsIsTightK
I still have not seen that movie! I've been wanting to see it for years lol and I still haven't seen it. Man I really need to get out more and see more movies

Tired Hiker
Okay, Linds, here's what you do. Go rent pulp fiction and give it a chance. If you dig it you will love kill bill and possibly resivoir dogs. All tarantino flicks. They're bomb.

LindsIsTightK
I'll have to go rent that movie within the next couple of days then. I've been wanting to see it long enough, I don't see why not. Anyways Reloaded is over, and I have to get up in 4 1/2 hours, so I'll talk to you guys tomorrow wink

Tired Hiker
What's funny Linds, is Uma's character reminds me of you sort of. I could see you being that cool if you were an actress.

BackFire349
Good night linds.

Tired Hiker
Good night sweet linds. Sweets dreams, deary. big grin

Nivvy
Must watch one of the Alien Trilogy's.

Just to have Loverli Freakish nightmares..... About the best damn Aliens out and how much ass they kick. What beats Acid Doused Blood and Spinal like Tails !????

badkittykitty
Alien Trilogy is so awesome,though I know alot of ppl dislike it,I really enjoyed the 4th one

Tired Hiker
I loved the fourth one when I saw it in theaters.

badkittykitty
I liked it more that all the others..well except 2

Nivvy
Why can't i have a tail like that and spit acid e_e !!!!!?

Tired Hiker
Nivvy, that's no way to behave.

badkittykitty
what if was tripping acid?

LindsIsTightK
big grin Now I really want to see that movie because I want to know if I can be cool or not yes

JediHDM
alright, we are gonna have a showing of Matrix Reloaded in approximately 30 minutes, starting on the hour. If you wanna watch along with, just pop it in and in ~30 minutes, we will begin. Enjoy!

Note: anybody know if Linds is gonna be on? she wanted to watch as well...

Tired Hiker
And me!!! I am about to tell my room mate that he has to turn off the Raider game. Heh heh heh .

JediHDM
Where is linds...?

Tired Hiker
She'll be here. I just started it. The here comes trin on the motorcycle!!! "look out"!!!!!!!!!!

JediHDM
is anyone going to watch with, or am i just gonna go to bed?

Tired Hiker
She forgot or something, she'll be here don't worry, man! Just start watching it and enjoy some other threads till she gets here.

JediHDM
cant you just cut the sexual overtones between Morpheus and Niobe with a knife...?

LindsIsTightK
I'm here you guys, calm down, I'm watching, I'm watching

Tired Hiker
laughing out loud If Locke (?) wasn't in the picture, they'd be all over eachother in a heartbeat.

Tired Hiker
Sup Linds?

JediHDM
howdy Linds, glad you could join us.

Tired Hiker
I like to watch with the sub titles on so I can absorb the dialogue better.

JediHDM
the entrance of the Promised Land, aka Zion...notice how it looks like a temple when you enter...

JediHDM
you haven't memorized it by now..? Just Joking...

JediHDM
Enter the kid, Michael Popper

Tired Hiker
Yeah, that kid is annoying. What's his deal, does he die, I can't remember.

LindsIsTightK
I must be way behind you guys cause I'm only at the part where Morpheus is telling Link he has to trust him

Tired Hiker
Lock needs to take a chill pill. He's too tense, that's why his woman takes off and joins the Nebachanezzer mission.

Tired Hiker
Just so you know I'm on the part where the councillor just walked in, that fat white guy.

JediHDM
Michael does not die, we can see him in pics and the trailer... have you seen the Animatrix? and yes, Lock is too controlling for Niobe...

JediHDM
i am just ahead of you, TH, so if theres anything for me to comment on, i can type it so you get it when it happens...

JediHDM
"Wheres my puss...HEY!!!" i love that part. smile

LindsIsTightK
Oh man I love this movie love

JediHDM
this is kinda fun, never done this before...

JediHDM
the temple of Zion...

Tired Hiker
Link and Lock could band together and become a bike lock!

JediHDM
I love you MORPHEEEEUUUUSS!!!!!

Tired Hiker
Hey, Jedi, I've been wondering, there is a real place in Utah called Zion and there are actually old caverns and cave the natives used to dwell in. Is this related to the Matrix's Zion by any chance? Uh oh, morpheus is yelling.

JediHDM
here, here Morpheus!!!!

Tired Hiker
This is Zion and WE ARE NOT AFRAID!!!!

JediHDM
i didnot know that, it is possible, however, i think the movie is more symbolic than actual...i mean to say, Zion is meant to be the "promised Land"...and it is underground for safety...here is niobe

JediHDM
i love morpheus' ability to speak, i wish i could do that...

and here we are at the controversial Rave/Sex scene...

Tired Hiker
Niobe is all over Fishburne's tip!

JediHDM
hahaha...woah

LindsIsTightK
I love the sex scene, I personally think it was a great contribution to the movie

Tired Hiker
I see, so Zion in Utah is named after the same deal as the Matrix and Utah really has nothing to do with it. So, Zion was in the bible right? Or it's a rastafarian term?

JediHDM
and not many people think as we do...for i feel it was necessary...

JediHDM
TH> Yes, and yes...Zionism was the movement at the turn of the century to get a homeland for the JEws...and wouldn't you just hate to have sex with the one you love, then see her falling away from you knowing there is nothing you can do about it...? i know thats what i want to happen...

JediHDM
Sweet dreams...and thus Bane becometh Smith...

Tired Hiker
I think the sex scene is very blatent. It obviously that these two people are in love and that they make love. The movie makes a point to dwell on it for an entire song, hence that is why I believe they will have a kid and the kid will be important for some reason? If Trin gets pregnant in real life, will she get pregnant in the Matrix?

JediHDM
oh god...smith will suffice

JediHDM
yes i believe so...and the sex scene, IMHO, is to show the difference between the "sacred love" of neo and trin, and the "hedonism" of humanity...and Hamann entereth

JediHDM
it is funny how, Hamann plays devils advocate, and when he is talking to Neo the right side of his face is red, while the left is white...

Tired Hiker
That's cool that you notice the lighting stuff as well. I love film lighting. Matrix is great at it. The w brothers know their shit as film makers. I don't need to tell you that.

JediHDM
And Smith attempts to end Neos life, but his plan is foiled

JediHDM
"WE'LL see you..." bane says this, i think it funny how bane refers to himself in first person plural...also note how Michael Saves Neos life...

JediHDM
and more Lock bitchin...

JediHDM
And we meet Seraph...

JediHDM
if you will notice, Neo spends more time defending rather than attacking, and when Neo lets his reservations go, Seraph sees his potential and "knows Neo"...

JediHDM
I protect that which matters most, says seraph, and Morpheus said "i remember that which matters most"

LindsIsTightK
Sorry I don't post much I am way into this movie lol

JediHDM
the candy reminds me of the red pill in m1...hmmmm...

JediHDM
im just posting to help out wink I love candy

JediHDM
together, Oracle isnt refering to humans and machines, shes refering to NEo and SMITH...I cant believe i didnt think of that before...AGH!

Tired Hiker
Jedi, you are so bomb. Keep posting these posts cuz it is helping me understand and trip out on this movie even more. Just so you know, your pressence is appriciated.

JediHDM
when oracle gives neo the paper with the meros info on it, in the background it says "one" on the wall in the back

JediHDM
Enter Smith

Tired Hiker
So the Oracle tells Neo, 'You've made a believer out of me?' What is up with that?

Tired Hiker
Here comes the best fight!

JediHDM
again, when neo lets go of his inhibitions, Smith cannot take him over...

Tired Hiker
My favorite lines in the whole movie are about to happen, can you guess what they are?

JediHDM
YOu
Yes me, me me me
Me too

Tired Hiker
You?

Yes me . . . me me me.

Me too.

I love that part.

Tired Hiker
Yeah, you nailed it Jedi! laughing out loud

JediHDM
I love watching Neo fight with the metal post...
Notice how the smiths move in in a spiral, fractal pattern

Tired Hiker
I love the bowling ball noise coming up!

JediHDM
and again Lock...begin the whining...

Tired Hiker
" . . . queen amidala, I urge you to sign the treaty to stop the suffering of the people of Naboo." This part reminds me of Star Wars PM.

JediHDM
And Niobe stands up, for Morpheus, against Lock...Score one for the hometeam...w00t!!

LindsIsTightK
laughing out loud TH I remember when you didn't like this movie, now you're a die hard fan laughing out loud

JediHDM
When they enter the restaurant, look to the left side, you will see a man being escorted away, he is RAMA, he plays a larger part on Revolutions...

JediHDM
WHo has time, who has time, but if do not ever take time, how can we ever HAVE time...?"

Tired Hiker
Hey, I had to skip back to check that out. Damn, never noticed that and I am ashamed. I usually see that kind of stuff, what's that guy's deal?

Tired Hiker
Hey, Jedi. Pause your disc for about forty seconds so your not too far ahead of me. big grin

JediHDM
we will find out in revo, however, i have a theory...if you go to the Matrix forums, look for 'the family' thread, its too much to write out here...

BackFire349
ah, this looks like so much fun....i wanna do this with someone for TCM.

JediHDM
"No, what happened happened and couldn't have happened any other way"
How do you know?
We are still alive
