What if I told you that this movie is nearly 20 years old.


If you saw this in the cinema then you are already dead.

Weird - the film's date was the first thing I looked at on my way to see what the new post was.

It's on theatre go'ers who are dead now Mark. If you saw the film on DVD or some other means you're perfectly fine.

It's not the same movie as the one that played in theatres.

reply

Ok, I'll bite. Tell me more about the theatre version.

reply

Rumour has it that if you went into the theatre you were liberated from the actual Matrix and a copy of you with all your memories and mannerisms was what left the theatre.

What was shown was so abstract and mind blowing that the human mind couldn't comprehend it and so reached enlightenment and transcended existence.

Was the Illuminati found out about this they quickly put together a heavily edited version which is what got put out on DVD and other media.

reply

Is this why the Illuminati replaced Wachowski brothers with trannies?

reply

It wasn't the Illuminati that replaced the Wachowski brothers. You see the transcendent entity which was the original movie didn't know much about the physical world, let alone human anatomy, and so glitched with the first two humans to ever see the movie. Bruce Jenner was working as a janitor at the time and also caught an early viewing but, due to his limited intellect, it took longer to present itself with him.

Hey. This isn't first grade math class.

Well I did see it in the cinema... but I am not dead yet even though I just reached 40 so I am getting closer to the end;-)

But it is one of the teaters experiences I remember a long with Pulp Fiction and Star Wars - The Phantom Menace even though the latter was not a great movie it was still cool to see a new Star Wars film in the cinema after playing with the toys as a kid and watching the old films on TV and VHS...

reply

The theory is that if you saw it at the theatres then that you, the real you, passed onto another plain of existence and you-you, the one reading this, is just a copy of your actual self.

What do you think of that theory OldG?

reply

Well I did see it 4 or 5 times in the cinema... So what does that mean???

reply

It means you're Agent Smith!

reply

yeah maybe...

I was 18 at that time, it was one of the first movies that I downloaded with FTP. It was TS recording and .asf format. I watched it with projector at home. Quality was horrible, but I totally enjoyed it :)
