Title: The Matrix in 15 minutes
Post by: Anonymous on September 05, 2006, 08:04:21 am

I don't know if you guys have ever heard of this woman and her book, but it was new to me... so I'm just gonna assume you haven't.  Basically, she rewrites big blockbuster movies into convrnirnt little screen plays that give you, more or less, all ofthe important information.  That seems good enough, right?  Well, throw in her wonderfully sarcastic sense of humor and ability to completly make up words and you have a fantastic read.  Some of her screenplays are available online, like V for Vendetta:

Her book, which is available here,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0575076879/ref=ase_orionpublishi-21/026-7301921-1029257

contains satires on movies such as Jurassic Park, the entire Lord of The Rings series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Titanic, The Matrix, and much much more.  My girlfriend read me several of the stories on the ride home from Dragon*Con (an entirly seperate post about that to follow soon).  The Matrix screenplay is amazing.  I'll repost later today with some exerpts when I can get the book from my girlfriend.  Anyways, if you can pick it up, DO!  Especially you brits and europeans, as this is from Amazon.co.uk and shipping will be much cheaper for you.[/url]

Half a million Vs watch the blowing-up and the fireworks and the hey hey pretty colors and when they take off their Guy masks, many of them are people we have seen killed earlier on, like Gordon and Surridge and Valerie and Evey’s parents, and it is deep.

That gave me the lols.
