You called me an idiot. Then you came up with some jackass crack that because of my musical taste I "wouldn't understand" a stupid movie like the Matrix. Exactly how am I not supposed to take that personally?

The Matrix ISN'T original because the story line is as old as sci fi. The only original part about the whole thing was that the backplot the constructed for why the world was an illusion made it so there was no concievable reason why the hero would want to break the imaginary world, but he did anyway because otherwise the movie would have to end an hour earlier.

SAAB wasn't fun. SAAB was painfully boring and the characters were incessant whiners that made me wish somebody would space them. I can do braindead fun (so long as it's not so braindead I'm asking the screen "why would anybody do that"), I took my name from a Simpsons character that's hooked on the worst music from the 70s fun I can handle. But as I said earlier, given the choice between watching SAAB and doing the dishes I did the dishes, just how much fun can the show be that doing household chores is a more entertaining alternative. I'm glad you enjoyed the show, but it's rating numbers show you were in the distinct minority.

I've got one that was positively brilliant - "Morons from Outer Space". It was British, and funnier than hell on so many levels.

These 4 aliens (utterly human) from the planet Blob had rented a space podule to haul garbage. Along the way, these idiots got separated from the one guy who had a little more on the ball, and landed in England. James Sikking plays a Jack D. Ripper part as the American colonel on the scene, who doesn't believe it when the Brits tell him repeatedly how stupid the aliens are.

Terribly funny stuff - basically, its like they put lower class Brits in space. The best moment was when the Defense Minister was told that the aliens were playing with the chess board - and it turned out that they were using it as a at to hit chess pieces with.

You stated on previous thread on the FR to the effect that if music was not owned and release by the RIAA that it was not real music.

No according to you below statement.

The only original part about the whole thing was that the backplot the constructed for why the world was an illusion made it so there was no concievable reason why the hero would want to break the imaginary world,

Wanting to be free from the chains of an illusion that make you into being a slave, matter how nice the illusion is, is a rightious quest indeed.

Let me guess, you favorite charactor from the Matrix is Cypher.

SAAB wasn't fun. SAAB was painfully boring and the characters were incessant whiners that made me wish somebody would space them.

That's just your opinion. I found the series quite enjoyable.

I can do braindead fun

You must love Reality TV Shows. Personally, I think Reality TV Shows are the worst of the worst of bad tv.

They had Sci-Fi back in Plato's day? The Matrix borrows heavily from The Allegory of the Cave. What the heck... no royalties involved! ;-)
