did anyone nodice that when the original matrix came out there was a glut of teenagers that were amazeingly elitist and had a “none of you can understand this deep movie, your much to stupid to like such a wonderful movie why can’t you be as smart as me?” then it got really popular and the same elitist people turned into saying “puullleeezee. that rat vomit, it is mock philosophy for you mouth breathers why can’t you be as smart as me?”
I thought it was popular pretty much from the start?
btw, has the hamburglar robble robbled you capital letters?
Before he robble robbled your capitals, he found time to screw up my spelling, obviously.
does that ever not happen? has anyone in the history of the earth insulted someone else’s grammer or spelling without manageing to crap up their own spelling?
honestly though, what do you hope to gain by saying such things? do you imagin girls will come and have sex with you if you insult strangers on the interweb machine?
I’m confused… are you drunk? 
Either way, yes, you got me. Come on, I know you’re getting turned on by my insults. You want to have interweb cybersex with me, don’t you? Admit it!
I’m serious, what exactly do you hope to gain by makeing fun of capital letters… if your plan had gone exactly as you hoped what was the prize that you would have gained?
anyway, back to the matrix, IS it just my imagination that since the movie came out it went from being massively elitist to like the movie and loudly announce this fact to being massively elitist to hate the movie and loudly announce this fact.
Prize? Plot? Sorry, you’ve lost me…
Anyway…
I did respond to your OP in my first post, before the thread took a strange new direction. Sorry, but I never really understood the plot of the original Matrix, nevermind the new one. Maybe some Matrix afficienados will come along with a full explanation…
Elitist? It was a huge summer action flick starring Keanu fucking Reeves. Whoa. It was a populace pleasing blockbuster from the word go. The Alice and Wonderland theme lent it a bit more intelligence than the average summer action movie, but to call it elitist? Might as well deconstruct the societal implications of the Keanu Reeves/ Dennis Hopper dynamic in Speed.
Oh, and owl? A rant about elitist people insulting your intelligence usually goes better if you exhibit some. Lack of capitals, misspellings, syntax errors, run on sentences; Your OP is an English teacher’s mescaline induced nightmare.
As for myself, I always expect girls to come have sex with me when I insult starngers on the interweb machine. The doorbell should be ringing any minute now…
Any of you young 'uns want to do “The Cyber” over this new-fangled interweb I keep hearing about over at the general store? 
It’s odd but you seem to be saying this as if it were unusual behaviour for teenagers.
Having been one of the first people n my area to see “The Matrix: Reloaded” (Thursday monring, 11:30 a.m.) I can honestly say I don’t give a shit what anyone says. The second film is at least as good as the first, probably better. I can’t wait for the third.
And I even took exception to all the “deep” talk myself, in several Cafe Society threads.
owl: I must thank you. From now on, I will no longer be referring to the bright yellow device under my table as a computer; no it is now to be referenced exclusively as THE INTERWEB MACHINE. Have you trademarked this term? I feel the urge to start a shoppe that sells custom-made internet-optimized computers and call it THE INTERWEB MACHINE.
On the OP: Elitists do tend to extoll the virtues of niche products and criticize that which has mainstream popularity. This is pretty much the definition of elitism. It isn’t restricted to teenagers, though. Teenagers are actually amateurs; check out the faculty at any University, particularly the fine arts and literature departments, and you’ll find find people for whom fine-tuning the facets of their intellectual snobbery is an art form.
Of course, it works the other way, too. Populists criticize anything too intellectual, elitists criticize anything too mainstream. Both groups are snobs. We eclectics are the only truly free-thinking people, and as such have the right, nay, the duty to look down upon those that would belittle others simply because of a difference in taste.
When I correct someone’s grammar or spelling errors, it’s all in an effort to fight ignorance (eh hem…the motto of this board). I don’t especially want someone I’ve never met and never talked to before desire me online.
I thought the movie was popular from the very start. I don’t know of any “elitist teenagers” who changed opinions after the movie became better known, and I was 16 when it came out. To answer your OP, it’s either your imagination or you’re drunk off your ass and need to get some rest.
BTW, what exactly is an interweb machine?
i noticed that when it came out that i thought it was rat shit but then someone i know said it was really a dharma film and then i thought the original matrix was cool except for the humans as battery thing wich sux majorly but alls i can say now is “puullleeezee” when someone brings it up but i’m not an elitist even though im smarter than you
ps i’m having sex right now on top of my interweb machine so ther
and with a girl too
Did anyone else laugh hysterically at Frantic’s post? I really do hope that was posted in a facetious tone!
What’s a dharma film?
Excellent parody of the OP, btw. FM, take a bow.
FranticMad, that was beautiful!
FM is my new hero. (but since he replaced that Ice Cream guy who liked Bill Clinton, that may not be a compliment! 
)
