|Tigers Johnson| Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I want to see if anyone else has noticed this. Since the release of the Matrix in which a lot of the battles were only realistic because of the backdrop in the plot that set the scenes in a computer and that the mind was the only limitation of what a human could do there, this simple fact has ruined other movies. Now a lot of movie makers feel the need to put completely unrealistic and for lack of a better term stupid karate, and other types of battle scenes that do nothing more than insult what little intelligence I have. At no fault of "The Matrix's"(and subsequent movies) own it has ruined cinema today. I thought the Matrix was a great movie, but for some reason it has made other producers feel the need to up the ante and put these types of scenes in movies that don't make sense to the movies. Am I the only one here not impressed seeing a human being do something that is so far out there that we know it is not even remotely possible?

Jamie_B Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I think Terintino had the same complaint when he made Kill Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlackJesus Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Crouching Tiger Hidden Fucker or whatever that movie was called did the same thing.... "now lets see the petite Chinese girl fly through the air" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer07 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Crouching Tiger wasn't ripping off the Matrix. Kung-Fu movies have had people flying through the air and doing impossible stuff like that for years. It's just that they were always really low-budget, so they did it using a bunch of cuts.

Guest LoyalFanInGA Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Didn't you ever watch Saturday Morning Kung Fu Theater? My favorite is the one in which the hero twists his head around to kill people with his spinning PONY TAIL. Are you listening TJ? That would really increase the YAC.

Guest Bengal_Smoov Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 This is a must read. Amazing. [quote]June 13th 2004. Sophia Stewart's press release read: "The Matrix &Terminator movie franchises have made world history and have ultimately changed the way people view movies and how Hollywood do business, yet the real truth about the creator and creation of these films continue to allude the masses because the hidden secret of the matter is that these films were created and written by a Black woman... a Black woman named Sophia Stewart. But Hollywood does not want you to know this fact simply because it would change history. ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS STORY?! African-American author of The Matrix receives damages after 6 year dispute This little known story has met a just conclusion, as Sophia Stewart, African American author of The Matrix will finally receive her just due from the copyright infringement of her original work!!! Monday, October 4th 2004 ended a six-year dispute involving Sophia Stewart, the Wachowski Brothers, Joel Silver and Warner Brothers. Stewart's allegations, involving copyright infringement and racketeering, were received and acknowledged by the Central District of California, Judge Margaret Morrow residing. Stewart, a New Yorker who has resided in Salt Lake City for the past five years, will recover damages from the films, The Matrix I, II and III, as well as The Terminator and its sequels. She will soon receive one of the biggest payoffs in the history of Hollywood, as the gross receipts of both films and their sequels total over 2.5 billion dollars. Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she felt had been based on her manuscript, "The Third Eye," copyrighted in 1981 In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers, requesting new sci-fi works. According to court documentation, an FBI investigation discovered that more than thirty minutes had been edited from the original film, in attempt to avoid penalties for copyright infringement. The investigation also stated that "credible witnesses employed at Warner Brothers came forward, claiming that the executives and lawyers had full knowledge that the work in question did not belong to the Wachowski Brothers." These witnesses claimed to have seen Stewart's original work and that it had been "often used during preparation of the motion pictures." The defendants tried, on several occasions, to have Stewart's case dismissed, without success. Stewart has confronted skepticism on all sides, much of which comes from Matrix fans, who are strangely loyal to the Wachowski Brothers. One on-line forum, entitled Matrix Explained has an entire section devoted to Stewart. Some who have researched her history and writings are open to her story. Others are suspicious and mocking. "It doesn't bother me," said Stewart in a phone interview last week, "I always knew what was true." Some fans, are unaware of the case or they question its legitimacy, due to the fact that it has received little to no media coverage. Though the case was not made public until October of 2003, Stewart has her own explanation, as quoted at WWW.aghettotymz.com: "The reason you have not seen any of this in the media is because Warner Brothers parent company is AOL-Time Warner ... this GIANT owns 95 percent of the media . let me give you a clue as to what they own in the media business... New York Times papers/magazines, LA Times papers/magazines, People Magazine, CNN news, Extra, Celebrity Justice, Entertainment Tonight, HBO, New Line Cinema, D reamworks, Newsweek, Village Roadshow ... many, many more!... They are not going to report on themselves. They have been surpressing my case for years..." Fans who have taken Stewart's allegations seriously, have found eerie mythological parallels, which seem significant in a case that revolves around the highly metaphorical and symbolic Matrix series. Sophia, the Greek goddess of wisdom has been referenced many times in speculation about Stewart. In one book about the Goddess Sophia, it reads, "The black goddess is the mistress of web creation spun in her divine matrix." Although there have been outside implications as to racial injustice (Stewart is African American), she does not feel that this is the case. "This is all about the Benjamin's," said Stewart. "It's not about money with me. It's about justice." Stewart's future plans involve a record label, entitled Popsilk Records, and a motion picture production company, All Eyez On Me, in reference to God. "I wrote The Third Eye to wake people up, to remind them why God put them here. There's more to life than money," said Stewart. "My whole message to the world is about God and good and about choice, about spirituality prevailing over 'technocracy.'" If Stewart represents spirituality, then she truly has prevailed over the "technocracy" represented in both the Terminator and the Matrix, and now, ironically, by their supposed creators. Stewart is currently having discussions with CBS about a possible exclusive story and has several media engagements in the near future to nationally publicize her victory.[/quote] I thought this was an interesting article.

[right][post="59825"][/post][/right][/quote] She didn't allegedly do anything, according to the judge her book "Third Eye" was used by the Wachowski bros. to create the Matrix and by Joel Silver to make the Terminator movies. Oprah better watch out, she's going to have some competition. It's amazing the stories that don't get the national media coverage, meanwhile Michael Jackson and 50 Cents make the front page everyday. The Terminator and Matrix franchises have netted 2.5 billion dollars, I hope this lady is single.
