Flippy hell, thats alot . No wonder its costs to so much but then surely it makes it easier to alter a film rather than having to cut through reals of film to get what they wanted? Also i would imagine its easier to incorperate special effects?

Well it easier for the reasons you mentioned, for cutting and editing, special effects processing etc but also it never degrades in quality over time, so for the next big format after DVD they won't have to go back and re-master films, simply grab the master copies from the hard drive and convert them to whatever format.

Oh yeah thats true , well we say that but we dont know whats round the corner yet do we?
Saw Matrix reloaded last night , its better than the first one. Loved the motorway scene :)

Better not say that too loud Russ, a lot of people don't like the sequels as much lol Personally I like all 3 and couldn't pick a favourite.

For that motorway scene they actually built a few miles of motorway to film on, as there was no way they could have closed one off to film on/destroy lol I loved the burly brawl (Neo fighting 100+ Agent Smiths) I thought that was brilliant, the choreography, the CG, the music, just ace

I totaly agree with you and funny you should say about keeping quite. i talked to my friend this morning and hes not a fan of the sequels either. he thinks they should have left it it at one. i realy enjoyed it last night though and looking forward to seeing the last one :)

The thing that people don't tend to realise is that they wrote it as a trilogy, they had it all from the begining, the same with Star Wars.

There are some amazing scenes in the 3rd film; there is more cool fighting, this time in the streets and flying above a city in the pouring rain, and also the sentinel thingies break through into Zion and that whole sequence is just mad.

Great i'll look forward to it :) only just noticed this morning his name ie Neo which is ONE :D

Owww 15000 post :)

15,002 lol

Funny though how many people here thought my name was actually Thomas Anderson because they hadn't seen the film/didn't make the connection lol

Yeah thats right i remember Dawn thinking that :p

And I bet some people think your name is UKjovi :p

:eek: well if they do then they are abit odd :p

Well there are some strange people out there....and I'm one of them :p

ARe you? or are you the one?
:) i watched revolutions last night and realy enjoyed it apart from the very end when it went all corny with the sun shine *roll* Typical american bullshit

Yeah I thought that was a bit cheesy too. Did you understand the ending though? I know I didn't the first time I saw it.

how do you mean?

The whole thing with Neo being pumped full of light and then all the agent Smiths exploding and such

I thought that he had managed to get into Smiths program and then destroy him. is that right?

Well I think it is open to interpretation. Of course what you said is one of the ideas; Neo and Smith were opposites, it was mentioned in one of the films I think, the Architect told Neo that he was the remainder to an un-balanced equation...so that idea is that Smith was the balance, so when Neo and Smith merged like that it cancelled them both out and destroyed Smith.

The other idea is that, since Neo was plugged directly into the Matrix it pumped him full of anti-virus or something to destroy Smith like that, that is one reason you see Neo getting pumped full of light, or of course that could be due to him cancelling Smith out, no-one except the Wachowski brothers really know for sure lol

It didn't really say if Neo was dead at the end though, when the machine drags him away he is still glowing, plus the Oracle tells the little girl that they might see him again.

Well i think its best to leave it there , i know they could do another by saying that the machines didnt keep to their promise but it might ruin the story as it is.

Boooooooooooooooored

i like ur avatar!! and i need to change mine or i'll have problems lol

Why would you have problems?

Boooooored

so i can see

This thread had almost fallen off the first page :o lol

ive found the girl on that pic on DA and she doesnt want them used without permission. in fact shes having legal issues with a PC company that used one of her pictures to promote their product on a magazine...

Just use a photo of yourself then :)

:O i swear i made it before i read ur post!!!!!!

Nice :) but I thought you'd use one to show off your new sunglasses :p lol

oow i'll think of that :p

Use the Matrix one I did for you :p

me with sunglasses on a message board? haha *runs and hides*

I remember once there was a big thing of everyone using sunglasses shots of themselves here :p

lol yeah i remember that too

We should do a silly one, like get everyone to post a shot of their belly button as an avatar lmao that would be brilliant

brilliantly embarassing!? lol

It would be funny, but then again I do have a weird sense of humour, but I think you knew that anyway :p What about close-ups of people's eyes? lol

not as embarrassing i supose lol

I don't know how just a shot of a bellybutton is embaressing though lol

Maybe a shot of someones chin, or a knee, or their spleen. Ok I'm even weirder than usual when I'm tired, make me go to bed lol
