today at lunch I went to game crazy and they had the wii set up. the nazi bastard who worked there wouldn't let me play it because they weren't suposed to let people play it until 2:00, it was turned on and the game was in, but the remotes were on the other side of the counter. My friend went there at 2:00, he said that he was going to take pictures for his photography class. He got to play excite truck and he said that it wasn't very good. Has anyone else got a chance to play the wii?

Well, my public school education in America is more a head then the most expensive schools in Canberra, in order for me to get an education equivelant to that I had to jump up a grade but that still wasn't enough because there is no smart classes at my school.

well you came out ok compared to your classmates probably, look at this class full of retards..

What is the best movie you've ever seen and why? Or, what do you look for in a movie?
I'd say The Matrix is the best movie I've seen, (the first one that is) becuase it has deep meanings on sooo many levels. It was also quite original.

No it wasn't. Its a complete mimic of the philosophy of Decartes brought into modern times. Check him out sometime.

With that though, it was a good interpretation of it and I did enjoy the movie.

My final in my philosophy class in 2001 (Which focused on Decartes) was a paper on whether we would take the red pill or blue pill... and why.

You can be god damned sure of that. Then chase it with something really strong.

Wasn't that the guy who came up with the theory of the people who where prisoners in a cave who had only seen shadows of other objects in their life?
Where the prisoners had believed that all reality was was a bunch of shadows moving on a wall that the shadows might make sounds sometime too(echoes of peoples voices)?

But I believe that was what the matrix sought of was based on, I do agree it was a good movie but it had an old concept behind it that has been brought to my mind many times recently.

He was most famous for his theory that went like this....

In order to prove anyting, we must find one thing that cannot be disproven?
What about my 5 senses?

No... they could all be controlled by a demon, while your body rests elsewhere.
All the images and sounds and smells could be fake. Planted by the demon. (matrix)

What's the one thing I can prove? The one thing, that no matter how I try, I cannot disprove.
Well, since I'm even pondering this.... "I must exist"
"I think, therefore, I am"

Ahh ok, his theories do seem pretty interesting.
This now reminds me of my theory on starting a religion, you get a bunch of young impressionable two year olds who know nothing of religion and you teach them a new god.
This god to them is amazing, it promotes good values such as kindness, being allowed to be of any sexual orientation that doesn't hurt others, sharing and things like how those children will believe people came into existance.
Their god could be anything because they won't know any better, so you can train them to believe a spork is holy!
Some people will find this fact unbelievable due to them thinking that little children of the age of two won't find a spork holy, but the problem with those antoganists is that those little kids have only the basics of living in their minds thus making them believe anything you say and they will grasp onto that concept for many years to come. If no-one challenges that concept then they will obtain a firmer grasp of it as time passes by. By the time they are adults they will have such a firm belief that it will be just as strong as some peoples belief in God is.
It'd be pretty cool to see how that would work out but we all know the law will get in the way of that, plus I wouldn't want to decieve people of the truth...

the last thing we need is another religion, be it spork based or whatever

The Matrix is a brilliant film but definately not the best film ever.
Not that this is the best film ever either but has anyone seen - Freddy Got Fingered? I watched it the other day, it's crazy but hilarious.

In my opinion, it should be The Lord Of The Rings, The Two Towers. The movie was freaking hawt. And I don't know why i like it much more than then third. =|

Second was is my least favourite of the three. Glorious though it is my order goes 3, 1, 2.
I seriously love those films though. My friend has LOTR trivial pursuit and we know it so well we have to answer an entire card instead of just one question at a time. Yeah. We're cool.

Yeah. But there's something about the concept of defending the citadel that makes it so great, the final fight on the third was really awesome too. But that's about it. I didn't like the third for one reason, nearly end, frodo and sam are totally GAY.

Its not the reason, but STILL

Like, the Battle at Bywater. Why couldn't they keep that in the movie? That part was awesome!
Maybe they were going for the whole big-happy-ending thing right after Barad-dür was destroyed.

Perhaps, I didn't read any of the books. I only read the "history of a hobbit" one. I remember reading a part on the second book i think where the elves give Frodo the disappearing blanket thing. And that doesn't appear on the movie, so when he takes it out you're all "Where in hell did he get that?".

Yeah, the Scouring of the Shire was probably my favourite bit in all the books. They obviously couldnt keep it in due to time constraints and they already had like several other endings. People havent read the books kinda figured it would end when the ring is destroyed, then at the coronation, then when they get home, then finally at the grey havens but even that isnt the end because they wanted to keep the last line the same so they have Sam arriving home. Many many endings already without an entire other battle in the middle. It wouldnt really have worked. However, I wouold have really like it if they had included it in the extended editions, that would have been awesome. The extended ones kick ass as it is but that would have made even greater. Hooray for extended LOTR marathon.

I didn't really understand the ending of the third. =\ Frodo says something like "Not for me anymore". Something about his home, that i remember i left the movie theater all "wtf -_-"

Yea the LOTR movies and the matrix were awsome, but my fav lies between King Kong and V for Vendetta oddly enough made by the same people(you know who made what). Has anyone ever tried to watch the animated movie? Its pretty out there, fantastic animation except the orcs...

Talking LOTR now?

Oddly enough, I liked the first one much more than the last two. Something about it just seemed much more real. Maybe I'm just not one for big battle scenes.

The first one had some really great scenes, though. The whole mountain episode where Gandalf 'dies' as just fantastic, and the final battle with Boromir nearly made my cry the first time I saw it (except I never cry. Ever).

The last two though... They were great films, but I struggle to recall any really special scenes. I liked the bit in the swamp, but nothing really stood out.

IMO

I think the first battle in the 3rd is good, with the Elephant creatures. Anyway, good set of films, all of them are pretty decent :). Unlike some other Trilogies.

*cough*Matrix*cough*

Yeah same here. What i liked about the first one is how it was alot more about friendship and individual characters. It was almost as if the fantasy setting and special effects had a siderole, however great they were. I liked the battle in the second one and how saruman got a bigger part, but the third one was a little bit too much. As if they just wanted to make a huge climax without focusing on the small scale storylines.
Im very happy they managed to make something like this for our generation though. Before LOTR i always envied the 30-40 year olds for having to see the original star wars in the cinema when they came out. These type of movies can just drag people deep within their awesome fantasy universum and let them forget about vacuming the house and filling in the taxes.

Did you guys hear they might be making two Hobbit movies, once again directed by Peter Jackson?

Yeah. I don't know wether thats a good idea. The LOTR universe is pretty much completed i think. He's a good director and all, but if he fucks up it would be a pity.
But i thought he would fuck up with King Kong too and it turned out quite nicely so who knows.

I saw Borat last night, Freddy and Borat both have that same freak out humour. I was laughing so much at Borat, the fight, the racism, the piss taking. The fight was so funny I thought, what made the whole film so much better was that the cinema was full so go and see it now if you want to see it.

I mitched off the end of college today and played pool for the last 3 or so hours. I played Canus Canem edit at my mates too I quite liked it. I don't think i'll get it though.

Gunna go look up "philosophy of Decartes" now and then either laugh at Johnny or boast when peeps talk about the matrix :)

Wow cool. I like that idea, I like continuity and when they do prequel's. All the little enigma's you pick up from the two films and matching them.

I don't like the idea in two films. If you do more than one it's usually just going to be to make the studio more money. The idea basing it off of footnotes and using it as a continuation between the two doesn't sound nice to me. One, it's making the Hobbit into a series rewriting Tolkien's ideas. And two, i'm sure there's a two somewere.

Heres the link I looked at.
