Daphne revolts against her oppressors and dishes on MATRIX 2!!!
Hey folks, Harry here.... Why bash SCOOBY DOO? Because you get cool scoops from the real live Daphne and gang about MATRIX 2. Even fictional characters seek revenge against their corporate oppressors... Examine Daphne's attempt at revolution... scooping on the set of MATRIX 2.... Mild spoilers ahead....
Jinkies Mr Knowles!!!
This is Daphne! You have been so good as to defend the honor of myself and the rest of the bunch against that fraud being called the Scooby Doo movie, that I figured that I, being the leader of the crew; The duty of paying you back fell to me.
Solving mysteries and pulling the masks off old coots has gotten a bit old, but Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Scoobs all took time off of fake ghosts hunting to sneak aboard the shooting of MATRIX 2!
Amazing what batting your eyes and raising your skirt above mid-thigh can accomplish, but all that running has paid off and I have a few snacks for you and your loyal readers!
Visiting Zion was quite a trip. It was mostly made up of large underground sets with big stalagtites and all the folks were in gauzy outfits about 900 mostly
african american extras had to be seperately fitted for sometimes quite
skimpy outfits muscley guys in satin skirts, you should have seen Shaggy and Scooby! Morpheus gave a speech
about the machines near the entrance to the underground city, "Citizens
shouldn't forget we are here we are zion and we are not leaving!" And the crowd shouted out "hurray,"
then a band started to play some very pulsing rhythmic music and extras start
to dance you know to rally for the troops. Jada is in the scene but she
didn't say anything. Later the creep from OZ in the wheelchair and Aliyah
are lovers of some sort and dance in one scene and embrace while explosions
rock the caves in another. Also the Velma got her hands on a cool tape that had
edited footage of Mr. Anderson fighting off about 15 agent Smiths. Amazing. Apparently they've created a motion capture unit capable of shooting 17 different actors at once to make for one of the most amazing action scenes I've ever seen.
Here's a little more
for tonight: Some part of zion is known as junction 12 unless that scene
gets a complete voice over, also Trinity and Neo make out...Duh. I had to
watch that about 40 times. Fred was smiling all during this and looking at me, but I only have eyes for you Harry. Are you more interested in plot points or do you
want to know every last detail I can reap from memory like, the lava pits
looked fake and junk like that?
Let me know, the gang and I are here for you. And just so you know, Velma returned the tape, we investigate, we don't steal. But it was mighty cool evidence to be sure!

Yes I know its irrelevant, but I never got on a talkback this early before, and no-one reads you when you're down the back. Matrix 2 - terrific, but after Pearl Harbor I still have a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Blockbusters. What a truly awful, awful bag of shite it was. Sorry,
now back to the topic at hand. -
ROCK !!!
So they are using stunt doubles instead of replicated hugo weavings ? hmmm...
also, i read at countingdown.com that Neo is not 'The One', but his son, who he had in the matrix before he was released, IS the one...probably bull though... -
What about taking a copy of the videoclip you are talking about:P
And post it up here.)
Would have been nice. -
Sounds like more of the same...try to use "innovative" Gap commercial special effects to cover up a forced, overelaborate plot.

WOW!! African Americans are actually allowed to survive into the
by karnak2k
"900 _mostly african american_ extras" Well that's pretty darn swell. It was getting real tiresome seeing almost every depiction of the future in which everyone_ was the same race and colour, namely white. Like all other races had been wiped away to create the perfect society. I mean, it can be partly understandable in countries where everyone is of similar ethnic origins, but in America? The damn melting pot of cultures?! Owell, either way Matrix was the shit, and M2 will rool awl!!
-
Bluelou_boyle how can it be possible for anyone to have a baby in the matrix? In the "real world" everyone is in their own cosy pod.
Baby's are grown, in fields. If I remember correctly. Although I suppose the machines could take samples from their bald battery people. Shite, I just ruined my own argument!
Anyway I pray that they don't feck this up. Matrix Rules! -
yeah i know it sounds wierd, but they must have hospitals with childbirth wards, otherwise people would realise something funny is going on. Basically they must show childbirth, occurring in order to maintain the facade, and neo's son could be one of these babies.
still think rumour's bull though. -
Think about it 900 "african americans", semi naked chics dancing (o.k. that bit's nice), explosions, now where the hell have we seen that a million times before?
-
You people actualy believe this is real? This doesn't say anything! How this person got in, where it was, anything! This is honestly the most ridiculous thing I have EVER read out here (except for maybe some of Harry's ramblings) but sheesh! This is about as legitimate as W's elction. PS: I laugh hard when some talk about how "childish" the whole Matrix thing is, since it no doubt comes from people who probably consider Star Wars and it's ilk "adult entertainment".
-
And you are going to enjoy this one. You are full of shit if you say otherwise. The Wachowski's made the matrix as a comic book film. It plays like a comic book reads. It's not supposed to change your outlook on life, film making, or anything else. It's meant to be a 90 minute adventure with explosions, gunfights, and kung-fu. Part Hong-Kong opera, part Sci-Fi, part old-school hollywood action. You actually expect a tightly woven story as well? Nobody owes you guys anything, just shut it and go be the first in line for Matrix 2, Episode 2, LOTR, etc. like the geek fanboys you all are. Im speaking from the heart here, as Im probably a bigger geek than most of you.
-
Sorry; couldn't resist.
-
The Matrix was a blockbuster that tried to give its plotline some intellectual edge. Great, I am all for that BUT, the dialogue and interactions outside of The Matrix in the Real, were so dull and obvious. I fear that by dwelling on Zion, as they seem to be, this film could, feasibly, be a pile of shit. That hurt me to say that, but this is the feeling I get, and I loved the first film. We need some plot driven kung fu, and plot driven set pieces, and then that may hide the scrappy dialogue here and there. Oh, and lets see Trinity turn heel, so Keanu can utter the immortal line "Whoa"

Am I the only one here concerned about this depiction of Zion?!
by momerath
This whole mess with crowds cheering in unision as they live in underground caves in close proximity to molten lava sounds absolutely terrible and completely out of sync with the world created by the first Matrix. So, now we have to believe that the human race is now donning middle eastern attire and has reverted from a fully technological free-thinking society into a bunch of cave dwelling idol worshippers who somehow have the wherewithal to create exotic musical instruments so that they can do a special ethnic dance for the camera. If they are going to turn an advanced race of people who can build the Nebuchadnezzar into a bunch of loin cloth wearing idiots, then someone has lost their mind. Also, I am a bit unsure about personifying Viruses. How many goddamn movies are going to use this whole virus thing as a major plot device before people realize it is already tiresome!? It would have been great to stay in the world of the Matrix without even involving the agents, viruses, and such.
For example: the Matrix left off as Neo was talking about teaching the humans how to break free. Surely, there could be power struggles untold as Neo teaches people that they can fly or do whatever they want. Humans can get a little cocky once they learn they can do whatever they want. This movie will be great if it covers new philosphical ground as well as the first did. Unfortunately, they blew the whole cover of the "invisible structure of malleable energy behind our seemingly real world" thing in the first movie. So, why not get into the twists and turns of human will within this newfound structure? I hope that they are able to challenge the mind as well as the senses like they did in the first, but it seems like they are focusing too much on the same aspects that made the first movie just like every other action movie out there. They could have introduced a whole new angle to the story and wouldn't even have to bring the agents back in until the part 3.
But...ok...sure...anthropomorphic viruses, more of the same exact villians, and cave dwelling humans returned to their lightning-fearing, dance-of-the-seven-veil-dancing ways (yet somehow able to withstand temperatures that create molten rock) are all juuuuuussst fine. They will just have a lot of explaining to do if these reports are indeed real. -
Not Daphne! Geez get it right!

Star Wars: Episode 1--The Phantom Menace is the The Worst Sequel
by greensnake_bake
Eonline has chosen Star Wars: Episode 1--The Phantom Menace as the worst sequel ever! Finally, some justice for those of us who suffered through that wretched excuse for a movie! Here's what E! had to say:
Here's the film everyone, sci-fi geek or not, was holding on to their lightsabers for. But the latest Star Wars flick's opening scroll was longer than the first movie, so you knew you were in trouble right away. Plus, it was talking about the always thrilling subject of trade policy in a galaxy far, far away. Zzzzzz...And the title is sheer poetry, no? Star Wars: Episode 1--The Phantom Menace. It's another instance of what Harrison Ford once complained about to writer-director George Lucas regarding his dialogue: "You can type that shit, George, but you sure can't say it."
Even so, Liam Neeson gave it the old Jedi try, but Ewan McGregor looked like he was still on the nod back in Trainspotting. The convoluted storyline didn't help matters...and the fight scenes? Instead of lightsabers, we've got double-sided lightsabers--oh, be still my heart. Unless you were a geek already emotionally invested in loving the picture to death before you took your theater seat (and, yes, we know there were millions of you), it was all pretty ho-hum.
Worst of all was Jar Jar Binks, a computer-generated, jive-talkin', high-fivin', interstellar Stepin Fetchit who provided the unfunny comic relief in a story with no real drama. Note to Lucas: Hey, Georgie, we no likey Jar Jar--he stoopid. Plee-plee doan bring'm back no mo'.

Sequel is defined as "a literary or filmatic work that continues the narrative of a pre-existing work." It says nothing about chronology. Since TPM does expand upon and further ideas and concepts introduced in the original Star Wars movies, it would technically be a sequel. But whatever you want to call it, you can't escape the fact that it is pretty shitty. Why are we talking about this here?
-
Don't you mean this Zion doesn't fit YOUR depiction? There is no group-agreed idea of what it should look like. Maybe you should have submitted a spec to the Wach. brothers with your depiction. And if you did, it must've sucked because its not the one they chose. So quit assuming you know ONE OUNCE of what the final product will look like...especially after basing it on such a shitty report.
-
Forgiving the fact that TPM wasn't a sequel, it is far from the worst ever made. That honor would have to go "Grease 2". Unappealing actors (save Frenchy, rowrrrrr...) dopey music and a cobbled-together script made this steamer a pure pain fest. Plus it was a sequel to an already goofy movie, but at least the original had some snappy music. Besides, I really don't care if Matrix 2 is going to suck. It'll just be nice to have a summer movie season feturing movies I'm actually excited to see.
-
Do not watch the Matrix! It involves the supernatural, which, we all know, is SATAN! Right dolphin? | | | | | | | | | | | All that stupid Biblical reference crap in the Matrix is just the Wachowskis trying to borrow depth by invoking age-old myths, and name-dropping Baudrillard. "Look, we're cool, we know some poncey French 'philosopher'." But it still leaves their film shallow. Enjoyable, but shallow. And momerath, you think Matrix 'broke new philosophical ground'? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

Anakin would win, unless they were in the matrix, in which case bye bye Ani!

It just does, M'KAY!!!!!
So why won't all of you Matrix--bashing Lucas cocksuckers just shut up? -
Anakin would win, unless they were in the matrix, in which case bye bye Ani!

Just look around: only ~30 posts were made and most of them are offtopic and Star Wars related. Nobody gives a sh*t about this (probably) megas*ck.
-
Let me point something out to you. Playboy has just released an article on how they hated Episode One, then E! Online claims its the worst sequel ever. Coincidence? NO! The DVD is coming out October 16, so they of course want to try to ruin it. They are a bunch of wacko jealous losers who want to hurt the DVD sales! And most of you people are falling for it! Hey, Episode One may not be your favorite SW movie, but you have to admit that its far from being the worst sequel ever. Sorry, but that is just insane.
I don't nkow about this Matrix 2, if its sci-fi, i'll give it a chance, but Episode 2 is going to rock. -
Boy, it sure does make sense for E online to rate TPM as the worst sequel ever, seeing as how it's been out all of two years now. Oh, and it shows great judgement to condemn it so completely before seeing how it fits in with the remaining movies, and the saga as a whole. Oh, I keep forgetting--patience, reflection, and clear-headedness don't exist on the Internet. Apparantly everything exists only in hyperbole online (TPM either RULEZZZZ or SUCKZZZZZ) Oh well. Everything Sucks.
-
By FAR the worst sequel ever. Its just terrible. The shark doesn't even show up until the last 5 minutes and then it jumps totally out of the water and impails itself on the ships mast for no reason. and its a real fake looking shark on top of that. How someone could call episode 1 worse than Jaws 4 is insane. What about the horror that was Rocky 5 or Alien 3? And those are just films in my collection (those damn box sets, i love 'em so)
-
Funny how the exact same thing you saw I saw written about a week earlier in another online film effects companies website. How much of the truth are you telling!
-
Thanks to your talkbacks, I didn't waste money in Tomb Raider, Pearl Harbor, Evolution and many more... I still wait for Swordfish to open here in Spain. Shrek opened yesterday, so I'm going tomorrow. Sequels? I'm no first-in-line for Episode II, but count me in for Matrix 2. I won't talk about LOTR trilogy until the first chapter opens December 19. Anyway it looks like only Amenabar's The Others and Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back can save American Summer (mmmm... and MAYBE JP3).

A Sequel That Shows The Main Character's Father As A Little Boy,
by buzz maverik
...Great idea for a TUHMUHNATAH film. We could have Kyle Reese's son meet up with a Terminator in the early 1990s, only this would be a good Terminator and there'd be an evil Terminator and you were there and you were there and I think I'll miss you most of all...
-
I was on the set of Matrix.
First off: The set was not *all African American* Apparently, Velma's investigation missed all the Caucasians punked out.
Second: She got the speech wrong.
Finally: What the hell is this person's problem. I was sent this link by someone who knew I was there. It is frickin pathetic that the casting people told us *specifically* to keep this underwraps...and the last person who spewed...was so dumb that he ended up putting his number on the Internet...and got booted off the set.
Pisses me off that people like Velma (if this human was there) has to make it bad for the other extras and crew on the set.
Basically...you suck Velma. This week...more inf. on the private life of Velma. I'm going to sneak into her house and rummage through her garbage and tell you the truth of her being a compulsive binger and closet lesbian. -
No Whammys No Whammys No Whammies......STOP!----->lol
-
No I bloody wasn't. Wanted to get your attention. Why don't you all shut the hell up? It's just a movie, and for christ's sake. When I saw the first flick being shot in and around Sydney I thought it was gonna be the biggest pice of crap....but what you see on set, does NOT turn out to be the action on screen. Give them time, and stop proclaiming this as "the worst sequel since TPM". You goddamn ingrates will complain about anything I swear to god!!!!!!! At any given day, you will turn on a film, because of some 'report' from the set by who-the-fuck-knows which tells you nothing.

Obviously there haven't been enough Star Wars related news items for you all to vent. Whats funny is how you can turn an article about the Matrix 2 into a Star Wars session. It's amusing, really. I hope you're all disapppointed with the Matrix 2 more than you were with Episode 1. It seems you deserve to be, lol. It's some kind of slow mental abuse you all give yourselves. You play every amazing possibility of what the movie can be, subconsciously knowing it can never be that good. Then you go see the movie and end up hating it and whining pathetically for a few years afterwards when really you probably just hate yourself. Oh well, keep up the show, though. And no matter how negative you feel...just remember you're entertaining at least some of us. :) ACTION!
