Yeah, it was really noticable on the big screen (though, admittedly, my girlfriend was the first one to notice). I watched the DVD, expecting either for them to have edited it out (re Mulholland Drive) or that the quality wouldn't have been enough to see it. But sure enough, it's still there in full glory.

Basically, from after the kiss scene to when the chateau fight begins, just keep your eyes on her crotch with a decent sized screen. Shouldn't be that hard to spot if you're looking for it.

I've also noticed that timecode can vary between different DVD players, so be wary of that. But yeah, this screencap is among the better ones I could get.

Obviously, such an overt and gratuitous display of the pudendum foreshadows Larry Wachowski's immanent transgender impulses.

Do I name the ILXer who thought that the woman was shitting herself (instead of having an orgasm) in the restaurant scene with the French guy?

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 28 May 2004 22:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes

miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 28 May 2004 22:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought she was having a piece of cake.

Leee's a Simpson (Leee), Friday, 28 May 2004 22:46 (nineteen years ago) link

And then shitting herself.

Does the DVD have any additional Twins stuff? I liked them best of anything in the series. DEEPLY disappointed they didn't appear in the 3rd.

Obviously, such an overt and gratuitous display of the pudendum foreshadows Larry Wachowski's immanent transgender impulses.

Or at the very least, a need to dress people in leather or rubber. And nothing else.

I saw this movie 200 times on a 5.5-story IMAX screen and noticed nothing. GS you are simply toying with us.

And just think, you could've saved us an IMAX frame from these scenes! I still can't believe you missed this - that's just hilarious.

Girolamo Savonarola, Friday, 28 May 2004 22:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Har. I do have some somewhat-mangled footage from Space Station 3D and Apollo 13 lying around somewhere. I'll ask my old coworkers who were ushers when we showed Reloaded if they've seen this. The screencap above is kind of... crotchy I suppose.

A shameless bump.

whoa, the hitler cut? how gauche.

four years pass...

I still dunno how ppl hate on this film when it contains the most intense fight/chase/fight sequence ever created. even when you know everything that happens, it still gives the clench. <3 <3 truck kombat.

seven years pass...

i rewatched this after seeing it only once 10 or 12 years ago and it is not very good

marcos, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:23 (eight years ago) link

trying to read about the plot and the purpose of neo in these sequential matrix iterations is hurting my brain

marcos, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:25 (eight years ago) link

the first one has a similar amount of corny bits but it is ultimately a very thrilling and enjoyable movie

marcos, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:25 (eight years ago) link

i never got round to watching the sequels but I caught a bit of the first one on tv the other day and it's in that awkward spot of being old and of its time enough to be egregiously dated but not quite old enough to induce fond nostalgia (caught a bit of austin powers: the spy who shagged me yesterday and it's in that same space in my brain). still a pretty fun film though.

uncle tenderlegdrop (jim in glasgow), Friday, 18 March 2016 17:35 (eight years ago) link

i remember seeing this at a midnight show the night before it opened and it was pretty amazing how the thrills of the first film were completely absent here. i watched the car chase again recently and it was boring. i can't even watch the original matrix now tbh because the ending shot of superman neo just reminds me that his continuing adventures are going to be complete garbage.

nomar, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:36 (eight years ago) link

but you get to rock out to ratm while you ponder the disappointments to come

uncle tenderlegdrop (jim in glasgow), Friday, 18 March 2016 17:37 (eight years ago) link

the first film had a decent amount of humor and keanu was fully charming and the action scenes were scaled to a size that made them palpable and human level as opposed to video game-like.

nomar, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:39 (eight years ago) link

neo and his pals certainly "raged" against a "machine" in this series you might say

nomar, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link

i'm planning on rewatching the third film soon, i remember absolutely nothing about it except for like neo riding around a spaceship and seeing green code everywhere

marcos, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link

the action scenes also seemed purposeful in the first movie

marcos, Friday, 18 March 2016 17:42 (eight years ago) link

xp that's pretty much all there is too it tbh
