The Symbolism of The MatrixMany people like The
Matrix for many different reasons – for example, the mind-bending
nature of the plot, the incredible special effects, the intense
fight scenes, and of course the ultra cool Matrix sunglasses, to
name a few. That said, although all of those elements are truly
awesome, for me the best part is the symbolism and philosophical
elements that permeate the movie. Continue reading →

Breaking Down the Special Effects of The
MatrixHere is a great video that actually demonstrates how the
360-degree / slow motion effects in The Matrix (for example, bullet
time) were achieved. In the video, the hosts set up a bunch of
cameras to show in real time how the effect is achieved. Very
interesting! Continue reading →

Peanut Neo!Here is another video I just stumbled
upon that I will definitely be adding to my ‘funny Matrix video’
collection – This time, the “actors” are peanuts. No, not Charlie

ingenuous. Continue reading →

The Matrix Hip Hop Dance RoutineHere is a video
that shows a very cool Matrix-themed hip hop dance routine from a
crew dubbed “4Dreamers.” The dance crew does a plethora of
Matrix-like moves within the routine, all coordinated with the main
soundtrack of the movie. The 8-minute video is definitely a
must-see... Continue reading →...

always on the lookout for funny or informative videos to share with

The Matrix Help DeskHere is yet another funny
video I stumbled onto this morning that I just had to share; hence,
it’s the topic for today’s blog post! The animated video
shows The Matrix from a “back-office” perspective, and it’s quite
unique. I’ve embedded the video immediately below, and I’ve
summarized the key points beneath the video just in case you’re “on
the fence” about watching it. But, it’s only about 4 minutes
long,...

The Matrix Farted I just found the
funniest video parody of The Matrix that I have seen in a long
time! Although this video has nothing to do with Matrix
sunglasses, it’s so hilarious I just had to share it with you – my
loyal readers. In fact, next to “The Matrix Runs on Windows
XP” and MTV’s Matrix Parody, I think this might be the funniest
Matrix related video of all time! So what...

video to share with you about this. So put on your Matrix
sunglasses and give the video below a quick watch; it is very
interesting! First and foremost, what exactly is bullet time?

that’s why I was extremely pleased when I recently stumbled onto a

How to Clean Sunglasses without Scratching the
LensesI’ve touched on this topic elsewhere within this blog,
but the question continues to pop up so I thought I would write
another post about it. Sunglass lenses absolutely must be
cleaned from time to time because they accumulate dust, smudges and
dirt over time, and blemished lenses are not good for your
eyesight. Unfortunately, many people have inadvertently
scratched the lenses while trying to clean sunglasses, and as such
how...
