Okay, I love The Matrix. But every time I watch it I'm confounded and frustrated at the fact that Cypher was plotting with the agents to betray Morpheous an nem and get reinserted into the Matrix. But how was he meeting with them, having dinner in the restaurant an shit when an operator would have needed to plug him in and could watch everything he was saying and doing???

Someone please explain this shit to me before my brain starts bleeding

What movie plots/storylines confuse/frustrate you???

Lord of the Rings...

Family guy ruined it for me...

they could of just flow one of those oversized eagles to Modor... saving lots of time and story line.

Tron. The entire story line sucks to me...

Narnia... why can't the Lion just fix things himself? What's up with dragging kids through all that mess?

How many clones can you clone with one drop of blood that is over a cetury old? - Alien3

Will Harry Potter get a new wand or fix his broken one? "Wando-repair-o!" Why did Doby have to die?

Those education movies where the "terrible, impoverished, illiterate" minority kids are "rehabilitated" by a suburbanite through poetry, sports, math... etc.

Even though some of them are based on true stories, Hollywood has made me hate that formula.

Watching Kill Bill now and one thing that's ALWAYS annoyed me with this is that she was in a coma for years so no doubt her muscles atrophied and would require months of rehab to regain full function. Yet this hooker sits in the truck for 10 hours wiggling her gatdamn pinky toe and has no problem regaining her full strength to go on a fighting/killing spree. Bitch please!

In movies when there is guns a blazing, folks with automatic weapons just spraying from left to right and hardly anyone gets hit. all that damn spraying and you only hit like 10 of them and there six of you shooting at them. There hiding behind things like end tables and couches, (I guess they make them shits bullet proof), running across the damn room LOL. They'll battle it out until someone runs out of ammo and THEN one person gets hit LOL

Not a plot or a storyline but it irritates me a little LOL

Because anyone could be an agent in the Matrix.

Cypher was trackable but he's just eating dinner in a restaurant.

He could not be heard from what I recall. They used the phones to communicate, they couldn't just speak to the air and assume Tank and/or Dozier would hear them.

So why would he be plugged in if not for a specific purpose since they would risk detection? Why is he at a restaurant if they're not eating real food? Wouldn't that be suspicious to the others?

The Nazgul would have killed the eagle and the hobbit(s) and taken the ring. To risky to send it on eagle.

Timeline.

She took more time to recuperate.

When she went to Japan or Taiwan to have the sword made, she rested and worked out there. That's where I assume she regained her strength before flying to Tokyo.

I'm watching it right now. She pulls herself from the wheelchair into the truck. She wouldn't have had the arm strength to even push the wheels much less get into the truck. My niece's muscles have atrophied after being in a home for a year and she can't even sit up on her own. The Bride was in a coma for FOUR years. So like I said it would have taken several months to do the most basic shit. But 13 hours later??? Nah. I think only a few weeks passed before she went to Japan. Then she confronted Oren 30 days after that when the sword was ready.

Suspicious maybe. Maybe he just popped into the Matrix for a steak. Even knowing it's not 'real.'

So he told Dozer and Tank, "Man, I have a hankering for good ol' filet mignon, load me up!"

If that's the case they coulda just put him in the practice program. I'm telling you that shit makes NO sense.

Got me there.

I have the script which is pretty faithful to the movie.

I might have to watch it (for the 50th + time) and see if a solution presents itself.

Please do cuz this shit has baffled for years and every time I watch it I obsess over it.

Another thing, even if the operators couldn't hear his conversation they could detect that he was with an agent cuz they could read them right?

I don't think they could always 'read' agents. I think the agents manifested themselves by an energy surge or something. When Neo is running from the agents at the end, he doesn't get any warnings of where they agents were, such as in the room he was racing to.

He many not have known but I thought the operators could see agents on their monitors. Cuz even when Neo was fighting Smith at the end and went into "the zone" I thought the folks on the ship could see everything that's why they were surprised.

Girl flicks, OH pick any of 'em.

Especially Jennifer Aniston movies. That shit WILL make you tilt your head to the side and give the far away look.

I love you white people and all, but dammit, enough with the Jennifer Aniston overkill

I don't think they could "see" I think they just saw a major shift in the Matrix. Something they'd never seen that was being attributed to Neo being The One.

I don't see the appeal of her ass at ALL. Your boy Paul Mooney has a field day with her in his show.

American situation comedies and films where the men are fat, childish oafs with inexplicably beautiful wives who just manage to tolerate their stupidity.

You never see the chubby wife with the fine husband which I think is more common IRL

And Sarah Jessica Parker

Speaking of which, do NOT get me started on "Sex & The City" btw Aside from the fact that some of the plot seem outlandishly ridiculous, you cannot tell me that none of these women with their false sense of entitlement didn't get the the "Fuck Outta Here" treatment, not even ONCE. Seriously, FOH!

I have a serious love/hate relationship with that show though.

Most of the directors/writers who make these films get a chance to put their nerd revenge in action when they cast those guys/women.

Oh it makes sense, perfect sense

Independence Day . . . love the movie but that plot had holes in it big enough to drive a Mac truck through. Let's ignore the fact that Will Smith could expertly fly the spacecraft just from watching them maneuver, but Jeff Goldblum, who works for the cable company, having a virus that could disable the mothership of an alien species so much more advanced than us . . . Really??? But my DishNetwork goes out every time the wind blows hard and cain't nobody fix that???

I thought the eagles shredded Nazgul batwings? Ah... my nerd is coming out... damn.

I had a problem with I Am Legend. If Will Smith is the only remaining person in New York City not killed off by the cancer cure virus or turned into a vampire-zombie, how is he able to generate any power or water into his house? Presumbaly, all of the people who would have run the power plants or purified the drinking water would be dead or a walking zombie. And how was the lady able to rescue him on the dock from the attacking vampire-zombies in her SUV if all the bridges to Manhattan were blown up earlier? Yes there are a couple of tunnels that lead into Manhattan, but we saw at the beginning of the movie that they were overloaded with abandoned cars (not to mention that they probably had a bunch of vampire-zombies living there in the darkness). And while the roads in Manhattan were overgrown with weeds, why were the roads to the colony at the end of the movie all nice and clean?
