My apologies to all 
for the late reply… First things first:
@ blitz43
You really wanted to get “colorful” at me, eh? Be careful not to break your own quote from Elizabeth Kenny… This BTW was - clickety-click, strengthening my memories with a Google search - a controversial personage, partly because of her intolerance of opposition… Anyway there is another saying of hers, something about trying not to be a sheep… Think about that.
@ricutza
Nu, aluziile nu iti erau adresate tie in exclusivitate; erau sensibil mai generale, rest assured. Daca vrei ceva verde in fatza, ti-as spune ca e de mirare (sau nu e?) cum ai cheltuit destul de multa energie sa subliniezi ca “Punch drunk love” e o drama si de ce anume, ba ai avut chiar un reflex de imaginatie sa faci trimitere la ea prin antiteza la “As good as it gets” (de parca cele 2 filme ar fi de pe aceeasi planeta), iar despre Reloaded nu gasesti decit cuvinte sa-ti exprimi plictisul… Parerea ta. (BTW, pe cei care au scris ca PDL e un film bun ii am pe o lista atasata de monitor, sa nu scap ocazia sa le scot ochii pentru miscarea respectiva!

@ patch4all
You’re entitled to your opinion (very fair BTW), as is toni, as is everybody else. Dar nu sunt de acord cu pasajul "a cobori discutia la dezaprobarea flegmatica a altor opinii". Discutia este oricum suficient de jos (I'll prove that don't take my head as of yet) incit sa nu mai poata fi coborita. Daca as fi cinic si ti-as da dreptate as spune ca macar eu reusesc sa fiu flegmatic in timp ce altii nu prea reusesc nimic, nici macar nu stiu sa "ingroape" un film cu adevarat, daca ar avea suficiente motive sa o faca.
I mean hey! patch, (BTW great Matrix name
, how’s that, after starting good enough, on the last two pages on this topic, before & after my message and after yours I can only see words about “commercial – not so commercial” thingie…? If they only picked that up from the theatres, they deserve no better! People are so blind that their senses react only at commercial stuff, ranging from "whoa"(comercial but good) to "shit!" (commercial but bad, we’ve seen it before). Anything different that falls upon their senses… well, does not compile!
And no, although U made me laugh
, I'm no better program, since that will collide too strong with my perception of the real, and with my acceptance of what is called free will…
So far people, I could not stop wondering where the discussions about these are:
- We can never see past a choice we don't understand.
- Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without.
- What do all men with power want? More power.
- You didn't come here to make the choice. You've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it.
- The love story. That's no usual love story. They bring "balance" to each other. To what extent? Far to what higher level…? (they wake up each other from the dead … pretty high I would say).
- You don't truly know someone... until you fight them.
- The "vase" moment in first Matrix, the encountering with the Architect in Reloaded. Neo is told one and other thing happen (or so is hinted in Reloaded). Indeed truly a “moment of the observer”! Later on that.
- So many more: Matrix within Matrix, Smiths, choice vs. control…etc.
Those didn't draw anybody's attention?? Starting wondering: have we been in the same cinemas, have we seen the same movie???
Over 300 mil. $ budget you’re saying? Mega-hyped, eye-popping, brains-blasting special effects?? Bull-shiiiiiiit!!! That is not what the movies are about...
We are not here because you understood the movie but because you didn't! You don't know where is going, you don't see what is coming! I want to see what Wachowsky's are going to do with the millions of people that are still mind-imprisoned in the Matrix! How are they gonna be awaken, and at what price!?!?!
