As someone who can never remember anyone’s name this is hilarious and somewhat triggering lol. That clip from the end felt like what I was doing last night at a bar with my wife’s coworkers. Just gotta deflect and dodge until somebody else says their name first.

Thanks for sharing.

In 40k, faster than speed light happens by traveling through the Warp, basically a place where physics gets weird. The Event Horizon enters and exits the Warp.

The reason why the Warp is so dangerous is that this is where demons live that will turn you insane. To protect against this, ships in 40k have a Gellar field to protect against the demons entering the ship. The Event Horizon did not have this field, which is why it immediately becomes haunted.

The screenwriter even acknowledged that it was inspired by 40k! One of my favorite horror movies, even though it’s flawed.

Event Horizon, Doom, and Minecraft could all take place in 40k.

The absurdity that the machines in The Matrix were harvesting human bodies for power. An interesting theory is that the machines were using human brains as a cluster of computing power. Cool article.

Actually I don’t think this was even a theory. This was the original intent but the studio thought it was too complex for the GA to understand.

Wow, that’s crazy, but I believe it. Studios are the worst.

It was spelled out more clearly in the comics. They even trained human minds to do tasks that the machines could not/did not want to do.

The Animatrix shows that the robots keep humans alive likely because they like us, and feel bad about what happened. They want us to keep living, as their creators and “parents”, but understand that if we were free to be all awake and understand reality we’d try to destroy the world again.

I thought that was the original draft plot but studio execs thought the audience wouldn’t be able to understand what that meant.

Humans are terrible batteries/fuel cells. And Orpheus said the machines had fusion power. It makes far more sense that the machines were using humans for computing, not basic metabolism. It’s been mentioned that this was the Wachowskis’ original intention but the suits made them dumb it down for audiences to understand but I haven’t found any direct quotes about that.

In the Rock, Sean Connery’s character is James Bond. It works well with the Bond timeline, and Connery plays the character exactly as he did Bond. It’s fun to see Bond as a secondary character and what it would be like if he was captured.

I think this one is less of a fan theory, and more of the movie implying it as much as possible without being sued.
