    Matrix Reloaded

    One question about ReLoaded. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): At the end, I got the idea that Scion (sp?) was destroyed and the only survivors are Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, their crew and I think another ship. I think, when Neo choose to save Trinity lick start the end of Scion. I ask this 'cause down here I ask the same question, and still its not clear. Thanx.
  2. Down here in Mexico, some trivia facts about Seinfeld said that Michael Richards - Kramer, was almost picked to be Al Bundy. Now about some more facts... I remember something about one episode that I think you guy in USA didnt saw: The one were both families were on a trip and the Bundy Curse came knocking the dooor... Marcy, Peg & Kelly got her period and they were locked on a cabin with the guys. It was so f'n funny.

    Boston VS NY

    Today something awful happened on game 3. I can understand Pedro hitting my pana Karim, lets say it was an accident. Then Clemens threw a high ball, not even close to Manny (? Im not sure) and this guy tried to attack Clemens, without dropping the bat, and umpires ignored that. I dont agree with Zimmer going after Pedro, but... COME F***ING ON! Pedro Dropped Don Zimmer . What a MF. I could understand if Pedro just move away or *gasp* run. But... Zimmer is an old guy, and Pedro dropped him to the ground. Oh yeah, and the umpires? Nothing. Later, again, one Red Sox guy, one guy wearing a Red Sox shirt attacked one of the NY pitchers... in the bullpen. What the F*** !!! And again... Nothing, the cops leave him free. I guess there is No Law in Boston.

    Info about CRONOS: http://www.fangoria.com/ghastly_review.php?id=1512 CRONOS (Lions Gate) Reviewed by MICHAEL GINGOLD Mike sez… MOVIE: DVD PACKAGE: In the course of the extras on Lions Gate’s new 10th-anniversary CRONOS DVD (coming October 14), we learn that while working on the script, Mexican writer/director Guillermo del Toro got so excited at one point that he accidentally walked through a glass door. That sort of crazy determination is what a great genre filmmaker needs, and del Toro demonstrates yet again here that he’s got it in spades. The disc’s additional features are a testament to his commitment to intelligent horror in general and this modest but heartfelt first feature in particular. To visually convey his story of elderly antiques dealer Jesús (a moving Federico Luppi), who discovers an ancient device that transforms him into a very human vampire, del Toro aimed for what he describes as an alchemical color scheme. The 1.85:1 transfer nicely obliges him, evocatively capturing the golds of Jesús’ shop, the cold blue of the villains’ (Ron Perlman and Claudio Brook) lair and the naturalistic hues in between. There’s some grain and speckling on view but the image is generally clear and clean, backed by crisp, detailed Dolby 5.1 Surround audio. The supplements not only cover the production of this full-length debut but also del Toro’s beginnings as a filmmaker. A “Director’s Perspective” featurette intersperses an interview with the director with photos from his youth and early short-film clips—revealing that his work was rife with Catholic imagery from the beginning, one centering on a giant fetus! (One of these shorts was originally announced as being included on the DVD in toto, but unless it’s an Easter egg I couldn’t find, it hasn’t wound up on the final product.) Del Toro goes on to describe horror as an art form—“one of the last brave genres”—and his CRONOS protagonist as a “working-class vampire,” emphasizing his humanistic approach to fear filmmaking. Luppi, who so memorably enacts this role, is seen in vintage interview footage as part of another segment, in which he praises del Toro’s decisive nature and the “stimulating locations,” backed up by tantalizing on-set video snippets. Equally intriguing are glimpses of artwork from the director’s notebook; there’s also a decent still gallery and the theatrical trailer, which gives away entirely too much. The DVD’s centerpiece is del Toro’s excellent commentary track, on which he jumps right in discussing his storyline’s historical context and spends the next 90 minutes sharing a fascinating mix of aesthetic and practical observations. From his approach to the performances (he wanted Luppi to engage in “silent acting” atypical of the Mexican style at the time, while making the American bad guys as over-the-top as Mexicans often are in U.S. films) to the true events that inspired parts of his script, del Toro keeps his talk varied and sometimes surprising. One of the most fun topics is the “mystical abilities” of little actress Tamara Shanath, who was able to “read” through walls, and was last seen being taken by her mother to Tibet to develop her “third eye”! As if to make up for the missing short film, Lions Gate has included a second, previously unannounced commentary by producers Arthur H. Gorson and Bertha Navarro and co-producer Alejandro Springall. (Unless you’re bilingual, you have to select subtitle option 4 to enjoy this track, as the latter two speak Spanish on it.) While their observations are more sporadic and occasionally repeat information from del Toro’s talk, they do bring a more nuts-and-bolts perspective to the table, and recall the trials of the independent production that allowed the director to realize his unfettered vision. The trio lavish praise not only on del Toro, but his crew and his cast—and no small amount on themselves for giving so many talented people their chances to shine. You can’t really blame them, since the movie brought them more accolades than financial gain—as Gorson puts it, “I always thought that if we could melt down the awards, we might be able to have turned a profit on the film.” CRONOS takes and earns a place beside the equally fine BLADE II and DEVIL’S BACKBONE in the first-rate del Toro discography (it’s only fitting that the compromised MIMIC didn’t receive as extensive a DVD). Fans can now only wait with drooling anticipation to see what he comes up with for the eventual home version of HELLBOY.
  5. From: www.Fangoria.com http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=1530 October 10: FREDDY VS. JASON VS. ASH confirmed It’s true. FANGORIA has learned that New Line Cinema is seriously considering adding Ash (Bruce Campbell) to the inevitable FREDDY VS. JASON Round Two that the studio has in development. This is not some Internerd rumor, though the notion has been tabled out there in horror fandom for months. Sure, we’ve heard about other permutations for a follow-up to the blockbuster rumble (everything from FREDDY VS. JASON VS. LEATHERFACE to …VS. CHUCKY to …VS. MICHAEL), but the Ash scenario, evidently, is the only one that New Line is treating as a legitimate idea. We’ll keep you updated.

    You asked for it, you got it. The Smartmarks

    If you still need more nominations: Candyman Carpenter's The Fog And I will also nominate Freddy VS Jason. It was good and if someone saw that old "classic" Wolf man meets Frankestein... you will see that FvsJ it was so much better, the fights better (WMvsF had one fight and it was mostly one pushing the other), the mood better.

    Boston VS NY

    BravesFan: "So if you don't agree with Zimmer lunging at Pedro, why are you chastising Pedro for defending himself?" I said that I could understand Pedro moving away or running, but c'mon... Zimmer is an old slow guy... and Pedro is what? 20 something 30 something ? you really think is ok for a young man to drop on the ground a senior citizen? and then... I just saw that you guys discussed this topic on the prediction and discussion thread, so... Im sorry, I didnt checked that thread before... if you think the topic is dead.. no problem.

    What was your favorite Hell In The Cell match?

    The only flaw (a big one) on Taker- Lesnar is the whole I'm so Injured but I'll still use my hand to beat you. I could forgive that if Taker restrain (sp?) himself for some time and then change for a "Forget about pain, I nedd to win" attitude. But still.... Lesnar bleed, Paul bleed.. and OMG... Taker set a new standard on bleeding. Now 'bout Taker-Foley.... that is something I dont understand. It was AWFUL. I think so many SM gave them ***** only for the bumps. Yeah, they were HUGE BUMPS, but that CANT turn a match into a ***** just for the bumps. There was a huge time out, almost none wrestling moves, Funk's interference was pointless.

    Goldberg Interview

    OK, I get it. I guess Bret Hart's CLEAN recod of injuries against other wrestlers means zero, when you face Goldberg. I mean, even Michaels in SurSer 97 holded Bret's leg on the F4. "It's Not Ballet"? Yeah... I feel better after knowing that Dr.Tom thinks that.
