I know there were alot of people aggrivated about the Matrix sequels. They said they didn't really like the fact that there are unanswered questions. They don't like the complicated story and so on and so forth.

Read this interview. It really sheds alot of light about what the Wachowski brothers were doing with the movies.

And before anyone says it.. Larry didn't have a sex change. If he did, he wouldn't be referred to as Larry in this interview. Not to mention the fact that they probably would talk about it.

EDIT: DAMN! I feel stupid now. I'm a little tired sorry.

I figure that one day I'll either be famous, or in prison. But I guess if I'm going to prison, I should probably try to do something that would make me famous anyway.

I never really took to the Matrix, but i was wondering if the sequals were originally planned or not. They just seemed uninspired like the first one, to me anyway.

Yea, you can tell that before the first one they weren't exactly planning for sequals.

Blah, I've read my share of interviews for the Matrix, and subsequent releases, and I just can't stand with the people that say "it had no plot, it was all action, the story for the second/third one sucked, blah blah blah"

I loved them. They were MASTERPIECES of literature, if you look into them far enough. If you just stare at them and hope for the meaning to say "LOOK AT ME I'M THE MEANING" then yeah, it's going to suck. It's not so blatantly obvious in its conveyance of the story and subplots as the original Matrix, but it's still there. You just gotta dig a little deeper.

I will admit the fight scenes sucked though. God that CG crap was horrible. They should have hired the people who did the Animatrix.

I don't know about you, but I thought some of the fight scenes were really good. I do understand the storyline, but the part I thought was completely unecessary, was at the very end of Revolutions where it was mentioned that Neo would be back. Those couple of lines right there says "Sequel".

That wasn't an interview, that was two guys [or guy and girl] talking. Those were some of the least informative, least interesting, and horribly unreadable paragraphs I've ever read. Let me sum it up for you all who don't want to read the entire thing:

[Ken] So yeah.

[Larry] The movies are supposed to be, you know, like, you know, yeah.

[Ken] Right.

[Larry] And like, we like don't want to, you know, like mess it up by like, having to actually have like, you know, a meaning. We just put a bunch of, you know, cool images and symbolism in the movie. We were on crack. We don't want to have to try and explain it, because we don't know. We made money. Like, you know?

[Ken] Right. You interviewed me for 3 hours, and I said nothing.

[Larry] Exactly, I mean, we can't even figure out the damn movies, how can we expect you to?

[Ken] Exactly, I'm unsecure about myself, have you read a book?

[Larry] Yeah, it was a good book.

[Ken] it really had a lot to do with math, and stuff like that, didn't it?

[Larry] Yeah, like it totally did, you know?

[Ken] Right.

[Larry] We're famous, and people are funny because they think we're famous. But we are because they do, it's, you know, like, you know funny. [laughs]

[Ken] Right [laughs]

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Unreadable and unbearbale in equal dollops

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

Flexor: All those articles repackage the same Chicago Sun-Times article, which cited only unnamed sources. Speculation, not evidence. It'll take more for me to believe a supermarket tabloid headline that somehow jumped to slightly respectable paper.

Yeah, the interview sucked.

I love The Matrix, I love the Wachowskis. Wow. Gargh. It's so ****ing amazing.

[Ken] Right

It's strange how someone quotes a random website made by some random junkie off the streets and claims it is credible without a reasonable doubt if it supports their claim. Yet when it's the other way around they cry that it is not credible. Very strange indeed.

Jeez, I just picked a couple of random links off hundreds of results. Plus it was all over the news.

Of course, it was on CNN too, I believe.

I think he was taking a cheap stab at Ictus

They were terrible movies, that's all there is to it.

In your opinion, that is.

Flex, they all contain some variation of "according to Chicago Sun-Times". There's only been one article, and there's no followup. Excuse my skepticism.

Morf, there are few things in this world more pathetic than an online grudge.

Finally, they were great movies, that's all there is to it.

Somewhat true. But I'll let you know when any such grudge exists on my part.
