DVD anyone?

If you take into account that there are only really 6 story achetypes then the "Star Wars is a rip off" could stand for any story.

As for the voice over in Dark City..I didn't mind it at all...IMO it's till the a better film than The Matrix.

Wow, draaaagggging this back on topic. Well, not really. But see Ush, plenty of supporters to not finding The Matrix such an excellent movie.

Well it was different. At least you didn't know what was gonna happen next.

In The Matrix I knew ECXACTLY what was going to happen next. That's what I hated so much about it, it was very predictable and very cliche. And then they call it a tribute or an ode. 🙁

Yes, it was very formulaic...

(Goes and gets dunce cap) Well I guess I'm an idiot. 😛

But a sweet one. 😉

Oh stop..you're not a dunce! 🙄

Surely you couldn't have guessed what the matrix was, before actually seeing the movie.

That was probably the only thing you couldn't have predicted.

Well, aside from the fact that Dr. Who and Shadowrun had already used the term Matrix to define the same thing...

But it was still great!

Well thanks Dim. (takes off dunce cap and puts on queeq) Hehehe. 😂

Ahhh, the circle is now complete 😂

If the term had been used previously in the same context, why don't the BBC sue WB???

Isn't it infringing copyright?

Well thats what I thought too.

Nah, I don't think so... they were using Matrix in a vague sense they may as well copyright the word 'computer'

Seriously, though. Watch the Dr. Who Story 'The Deadly Assassin' and you will see what I mean. Also 'The Invasion of Time' and the last two episodes of 'Trial of a Time Lord'. The Gallifreyans central computer, called the Matrix, is amazingly similar. Only its function is different.

Similar, yet different, I can see that... 😉

😂 How much different?

Blimey, you people have difficulty with basic association sometimes, don't you?

It is constructed the same way,. it's [purpose is not to provide power, though. The minds are stored to help predict the future.

So, same construction, different function. Want me to drop to words of one syllable?

oh, would you? That would be great! 😂

Me no good at that. Me bad...
