the taste of chicken in the Matrix

i don't get why people say that chicken has no taste. "Everything tastes like chicken." It's got a taste. i can taste it now. The taste of chicken.

that was one of the great things about the Matrix. the first movie. Funny things about everyday life, things that everyone noticed- it had an explanation for. Everything tastes like chicken? That's because the machines couldn't decide what to make chicken taste like. Ever have deja vu? (remember the scene with the two black cats?) That means the machines have changed something in the world.

It had an 'entry point' for ordinary people. And that's kind of what i think was missing from the other two films in the series. (Though i love them.) i guess maybe they thought that the 'entry points' in the first film would last through the other two movies. But it seems maybe we need a new entry point for each movie.

The ironic thing about the Matrix (the concept) is that most interesting parts of the movie (the scenes in the Matrix) are fake. They are derided by the freedom fighters as evil. But, in movie terms, they're the best parts, what you're waiting for.
