"Detective Story" is beautifully animated, though.
(You didn't mention what I thought was the only real inconsistency in it, namely, if the agents could just grab ahold of anyone like that, why not Trinity? Or Neo, before he's spirited away from the Matrix?)

Yeah - I agree with that. I thought it was strange.
I think it was set in 1998 but it's just the style of the short was trying to be film noir etc.
I've just started a new thread - but has anyone else go the Animatrix at the theatre yet? I went and saw all 9 last night. Very fucking cool.
The Popper kid was really good oh and well they ALL were. I might go see it again tonight! I liked it that much! It's only on for 3 days. Friday, Saturday and today, Sunday.

I've been comparing the Osiris with the Nebuchadnezzar. The Osiris seems to be a larger vessel. The cockpit is larger and it has almost twice the amount of hoverpads.

Cool! Cause the SOUND - my GOD! The sound was awesome... like when the letters fall down the screen. Or the bit in the samurai story when those Japanese Gates appear and fly passed them. Or especially in the Last Flight...
So only Australia, NZ - Oceania sorta places - like where-else? And it was only on for 3 days. Lucky I saw it twice!
Oh let me gloat for once - we never get anything unique - movie wise here. We only just pulled of 1 day earlier for X2 and 1 day early for First Contact!

Well, the Agents couldn't get Trinity because she's not connected to the Matrix anymore. They could've possessed Neo during the first film before Morpheus disconnected him, but they didn't realize who he was. They were after Morpheus and were just using Neo to get to him. Possessing him would have served no purpose.
As for the typewriter thing... I think it was just a function of the style of artwork. Yah... it was a little futuristic for '98... but it looked really cool.

But I believe he said he was "old fashioned", that sounds like something from the 50's, doesn't it?
And the people in the train cars were screaming when the agents were walking through, even before they'd whipped out their Desert Eagles. Why would they be afraid of them if they didn't see that they were kind of "alien"?
And hello? Steam trainz? Since when did Chicago have steam trainz?
