Let's be best buds, you're starting to grow on me. Plus, your name is Ghost, just like that smooth Asian guy from the video game.
:Oh, and "New Smith Army", what an awesome idea for a band name!
: Yeah. I liked it. Perhaps kinda Techno-Industrial?
Nah, I'm thinkin' retro 80's goth.
: I did like the way they tied the game into the movie. Pretty damn good idea. And the hacking part was neato.
Yeah, you get to chat with Trinity, only not really. Just awesome.
: I'm not being finicky! Heh. I think my point is that sometimes less is more. I just feel the Matrix went overboard alot. Pure gratuitous action sequences. For the hell of it. The exact same point could have been gotten across with 10 Smiths than 1000. They went big so they would appeal to the kids with the attention span of a gnat. Not everyone agrees, but pleanty do.
Hollywood blockbuster summer movie WITH pure gratuitous action?? NEVER!!
