Ice Ice MATRIX

Ice Ice MATRIX

The Auralnauts used some editing and visual effects trickery to make it look like the characters in The Matrix movies (and Wilford Brimley) are reciting the lyrics to the Vanilla Ice hit Ice Ice Baby. Take the red pill, and it’s really Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure.

The Matrix Halloween Light Show

Each year, Tom BetGeorge puts on an awesome Halloween light show to help raise funds for the McHenry House Family Shelter. One of 2021’s displays was inspired by The Matrix, complete with those iconic green computer effects, and set to Rage Against the Machine’s Wake Up, the track from the ending sequence of the movie.

Remember the part of The Matrix where Neo took the red pill? What if he took the blue pill instead?

The Matrix: A Different Perspective

The Matrix: A Different Perspective

“…it wasn’t so much a death, as it was a discovery.” The The Matrix trilogy, particularly its first movie, can be interpreted in so many ways. Now You See It offers that it can also be read as the expression of the Wachowskis’ desire to come out and be true to themselves.

Will Smith in The Matrix

Will Smith in The Matrix

According to a 2004 interview with Wired, Will Smith was offered the role of Neo in The Matrix, but turned down the part. Now, thanks to The Unusual Suspect, we know what that movie might have looked like. While we’d miss Keanu, we would have loved this too.

“Your weakness is not your technique. It is doubt, and disbelief.” Eclectic Method chopped up bits of dialogue and sound effects from The Matrix to create this groovy EDM track that gives us another reason to watch some of our favorite movie moments of all time.

The Ghetto Matrix

The Ghetto Matrix

(PG-13: Language) “As you all know, the quietest way to kill a man is to just put your arms over his eyes.” Dunkey plays the 2005 game The Matrix: Path of Neo. It’s obviously broken or modded, but man those cutscenes should have been cut scenes.
