This isn't like the hidden numerology in <b>Scott Pilgrim</b> (which I just learned about tonight!) that is neat, but doesn't break the movie if you miss; this is a big lapse.<br /><br />I'm also leery of fan speculation interpreting movies too deeply. I've seen a article that claims to reveal how Stanley Kubrick hid his confession of his involvement in faking the Moon landings in The Shining that's really convincing until you remember that it's utterly daft. <br /><br />Before the Matrix sequels came out, based on The Animatrix, so guy on a forum someplace wrote up a crazily detailed guesstimate of how the sequels would play out. It sounded really good - REALLY good - and turned out to be almost completely wrong. If anything, the Wachowski Bros. should've made this guy's story instead of the messes they did.<br /><br />Cheers!Dirk Belligerenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389773359984582477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031436877036455179.post-83512099957263229762011-12-30T04:24:59.166-05:002011-12-30T04:24:59.166-05:00Oh, just saw your post.
