"You can't fight in here! This is the war room!" - Dr. Strangelove
Makes me chuckle every time... Good movie for pointing out the absurdities and silly assumptions people make.
I love "Matrix", too. Anyone else ever noticed the correlation between "Matrix" and Plato's Cave analogy?
In a nutshell, Plato said: what if a person was chained so that they couldn't move and all they ever saw was their own shadow on the wall? Since the person couldn't move, they would completely forget about their own body. As a result they become convinced that they are nothing more than the shadow on the wall - even though they are much, much more. Kinda struck me as a low-tech version of "Matrix."
Love the Yoda quotes, too!
