Matrixy Things

robotech_masterLast night, I watched The Matrix Revisited again. For those of you who don't know, it's the documentary film which was released on DVD a few months ago, taking an in-depth look at the making of the film. The documentary is actually longer than The Matrix itself, in fact. I think of this as what should have been disc 2 of a 2-disc Matrix set...it goes much more in-depth than the documentary included on the original movie's disc.
It's really fascinating, and it keeps moving, keeps the interest up. It has some amusing moments, too...like a shot of Lawrence Fishburne, wearing the gi from the dojo scene, sitting in a canvas chair and playing blues harmonica as one of the nearby set staffers nods in time to the rhythm. Or one of the agents in the drenched office scene, standing in a puddle of water, doing a little "Singin' in the Rain" puddle splash. Actors being themselves. Also amusing was when they showed the cameras filming the scene where the actor drops the probe-worm onto Neo's chest. It just hit his chest and rolled off, and then I realized that I was subconsciously expecting it to turn into the little CGI tentacle-worm, just the way it did in the movie. Bizarre.
Also, I found out that there's one point where Carrie-Anne Moss didn't quite tell the truth in the audio commentary...
Another Matrixy thing that came across my event horizon today was...the latest Warner Brothers shockwave cartoon, The Matwix. It's amusing, yet it somehow seems deeply wrong to see such old familiar characters as Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd parodying such a new movie.
