Yet more Matrix musings

Via Resilient [3], “CORPORATE MOFO reloads THE MATRIX [4]”
A very interesting article on Matrix Reloaded [5]; it even offers a theory as
to why Agent Smith was still so antagonistic towards Neo when, from what was
said in the film, there is no real reason for the animosity (which was
another problem I had with the film [6]).
