Are you obsessed with the Matrix...then check this out!


The question is not if there is a spoon or not but whether you believe in the spoon or not?

Hi, I'm a mass communication honours student (and lover or philosophy) from New Zealand doing some research on internet fan sites and have some questions I would like to ask you. I would appreciate your responses.

How many times have you seen the matrix?

What is it about the Matrix that appeals to you? Is it the action scenes, the plot, the martial arts, the concept of reality being challenged, or black leather pants and rock'n'roll...

Will you be going to see the Matrix Reloaded?

Have you heard of Plato's Cave or Descartes' evil demon?

How do you know you are not a brain in a vat and that your life is not just a computer programme like in the Matrix?

How much time do you spend following your Matrix hobby?

Do you go to chat sites about the Matrix?

What character in the Matrix would you be?

Have you got any cool sites about the Matrix you could recommend?

Thanks for your time, please feel free to email me at [email protected] but tittle your message the Matrix so I don't delete it without reading it.

How many times have you seen the matrix?
- at least 15 times

What is it about the Matrix that appeals to you? Is it the action scenes, the plot, the martial arts, the concept of reality being challenged, or black leather pants and rock'n'roll...
- most definitely the plot of the matrix intriques me the most followed by the action sequence/martial arts.

Will you be going to see the Matrix Reloaded?
- no doubt. already seen it 2 times


Have you heard of Plato's Cave or Descartes' evil demon?
- yes, i have.... only from someone on the other matrix boards discussing about it. intriguing!!

How do you know you are not a brain in a vat and that your life is not just a computer programme like in the Matrix?
- i don't ... that is what is intriguing about the storyline. its that small possibility that you could be.

How much time do you spend following your Matrix hobby?
- very very little

Do you go to chat sites about the Matrix?
- very very little

What character in the Matrix would you be?
- i think everyone would like to be Neo... The ONE. wouldnt you like to be the savior of mankind and be praised as a Messiah that brings the human race back to existence over the machines.

Have you got any cool sites about the Matrix you could recommend?
- matrixfans.net

Have you read Baudrillard's Simulacra & simulation? In a classic post-modernistic way the book appears in the Matrix, when Neo is getting his illegal software-discs (the mini-discs) from a hollow book (Baudrillard's) just before the club-scene.

1. I can't even remember how many times I've seen the Matrix, I bought it on DVD a while ago, I lost count after the 178th time.

2. What apeals to me in the Matrix is the action, I love the music, and mostly becasue it has one of those movie plots that really keeps you thinking and makes you want to see it more to find out if theres a part of the story you missed.

3. Yes, I just saw it with my uncle and a few of my friends at the UltraScreen (absolutely incredible) , and I'm going to see it again this weekend.

4. I have heard of Descartes' evil demon once, but I'm not entirely sure what it is.

5. For me, there is really no way to know unless I wake up in the desert or the real world, after all the matrix is just a movie.

6. I'm not sure how much time, when ever someone brings it up I'm willing to conversate about it for a long time with my friends, I do still listen to the Matrix soundtracks and Iam planning on buying the Animatrix and the video game Enter the Matrix. Iam very much into the Matrix.

7. I don't usually go to chat sites

8. Neo a.k.a. Thomas Anderson

9. There is one site that I saved on my favorites that discussed the Matrix, but I can't find it at the moment, so I will get back to you on that.

Now my question to you is, have you seen the Matrix and the Matrix Reloaded, and what did you think about them?

Me personally, i would give it a 9.5 out of 10
