Anyway, it just occurred to me that there are some interesting parallels between the Matrix and the MoFo scene:

MoFo, like the Matrix, is this imaginary place that exists solely in the collective human imagination and in computer circuitry.

Yoda, like Agent Smith, is the soulless machine who controls MoFo and who has brainwashed the rest of MoFo into submission.

I, on the other hand, am the hapless neophyte to the MoFo scene, who is being unjustly outlawed and hounded by Agent Smith, the evil machine who rules MoFo.

Any comments, anyone?

Die.

Only in your dreams!

I.e. the collective dream that is the MoFo/Matrix!

Brr . . . I'm so scared!

Is that a threat? Am I about to be banned from the MoFo/Matrix?

Stop lying. You are getting tiresome. If you didn't want controversy you wouldn't have said this....

...you are so full of **** Django. You keep finding new ways to get attention drawn to yourself....then you try to act like you are "unjustly outlawed."

Django...you're hopeless.

It's not hopeless, it's kinda funny

But Django, you're just not cool enough to be Neo. Sorry. Maybe you could be Cypher.

Well, all Django-as-Neo and Yoda-as-Smith bullsh*t aside, I have to say that the theory isn't exactly original, being as how the Internet has always been one of the influences of the story to begin with. Yeah, the parallels between the Matrix and online communities are there. They're supposed to be there.

It all spells "duh."

So, sure, Djangs. You've discovered the secret of the MoFo. Consider your food tubes disconnected and your bald self flushed down into the sewers. The hovership flies overhead, sees that it's you, and passes on by.

In half an hour this thread got 8 replies. When I logged on to MoFo this morning, the The Bell Tolls for Thee, Django thread had gotten about 50 new posts since I logged off last night. Unbelievable...

Anyone in the mood for discussing film?

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

I pictured something a little more like this.

Hey, am I to blame if everything I say seems to spark a major controversy? It's not intentional--honest!

I am not trying to draw attention to myself. I'm just trying to tell it like it is--like I see it.

And by the way, if MoFo was The Matrix, then Django would be Larry Wachowski, AKA Lana Wachowski, one of the creators of "The Matrix" movies and a soon to be transsexual with a dominatrix girlfriend. Oooooh, kinky.
