matrixy shirt


didn't anyone else think the the shirt the friend was wearing when showing alex the video he'd made looked matrixy?

look at the goofs in the fun stuf:
"Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Dennis is wearing a Matrix-style t-shirt in the late-'80s because he has supposedly developed the "letter idea" himself and has come up with an idea for a film exactly like The Matrix (1999). The letters are not identical to the Matrix scheme, and the joke is that the idea originated in East Germany"

reply

Exactly. :)
Here's some more info from the trivia section:

The reason Dennis is seen wearing a T-shirt that resembles the computer code from The Matrix (1999) is because there was initially a scene where he talked about a movie idea of his called "Planet of the Forgotten" which bore a striking resemblance to the plot of The Matrix. This scene can be viewed in the deleted scenes of the DVD.

Thanks for the explanation. :)

Oh, I thought it was another intercontextual reference, since they were creating a fake world for the mother, just like the machines do in the matrix.
