   I hate to break it to you, but The Matrix actually came out March 31st. But that’s not important, what matters is that it’s still rocking our socks off ten years later. Oorah!

2. James Said,

   Congratulations on the milestone. I’ve always felt 2200 is such a dignified number. Here’s to the next 2200 from a longtime reader!

   I saw “The Matrix” when I was stationed on Okinawa. We didn’t get a preview in the weeks preceeding it’s release or anything. Imagine an ENTIRE movie theater full of Marines who have absolutely NO idea what they are in for. Trinity did her “jump, hover, camera pan, and then kick the bollocks out of the fat cops” camera trick and the whole place just blew up. I have never heard a theater full of marines react that way to a dorky sci-fi flick. I think most of the base went to both showings. Most of the people from the first showing left the theater and got back in line for the second showing. Awesome experience….

   Then came the crap-tacular sequels that friggin ruined everything.

   I picked up The Matrix blindly off the ‘New Release’ wall. Blew me away. What sequels? There weren’t any sequels. *lalala not listening*

5. Alan Said,

   I was working at the local movie theater when The Matrix came out and, still feeling the sting of Johnny Mnemonic, had no interest in the Wednesday night employee screening. Naturally, when I came in Thursday I was bombarded by stories of how this movie was unlike anything any of them had ever seen and that it would be a movie milestone I’d never forget. Lucky for me, they held an extra screening that night for the rest of the staff and I snuck back out of my house to catch it. I was probably up until 3am talking about it in the parking lot.

   And I still stand by my assertion that that sequels aren’t that bad.
