Conversations with Mike: the Matrix
Mike: this script is kinda weak. He knows the script form. but 1. the dialogue sucks and 2. if he's gonna spend this much time writing stories, he should learn to make up his own characters and maybe grow as a writer, rather than steal and fuck up other people's stuff.

Rob: I love the bit where Neo deconstructs the Matrix... WITH HIS MIND!

Mike: well... he coulda thought up something stupider than that. all the same... I haven't read the entire thing obviously, but I dunno if he'd have the chops to even write that properly. who the fuck is gregory?
We don't sleep anymore says:

Rob: He's one of the One's that Morpheus thought was the One, but wasn't. One is the loneliest number.
Mike: Plus this writer uses "fuck" about a couple hundred more times than they ever used in either of the predecessing films

Rob: That's fucking right.

Mike: this is not smith type of dialogue:
GREGORY"No man can beat me."
SMITH "Bring it on, pussy."

Rob:Tee hee!

Mike: not to mention that they all have names like neo, trinity, morpheus, link, tank, dozer, cypher... who would pick GREGORY as a handle?!

Rob:I guess that Gregory is a badass name.

Mike: ooooooh, I can't wait for the fight scenes with them dressed in DENIM!

THE FIVE of them stand, immobile, around a ringing phone as their minds filter in to their body images. They are dressed practically in denim and leather, like blue collar workers. Their dress wouldn’t attract the slightest bit of attention, except for the padded coats and tote bags filled with firepower.


Rob: C'mon, you know that a fight scene in denim would be *brilliant*. Or plaid.

Mike:yeah, it wouldn't be unstylistic or stupid at all.

Rob: They should kick it up a notch for Revolutions and have everyone in hats.

Mike: ha ha ha ha
