Good question TF, that is something we wrestled with during the Star Wars rewatch. Given that their isn’t a dedicated Matrix forum like we have with Star Wars it probably makes the most sense to have the conversation in this thread. However, if it makes logistics easier go ahead and start a new thread in another forum, probably “Other Science Fiction” and hold the frak party. Note that after the rewatch has occured, usually a few days to a week later that thread will be merged with this one primarily so we don’t have the same subject being discussed in multiple places and in 6 months all the subject matter is in one place.
All time zones have a letter associated with them. GMT (aka UTC) is Z, Eastern US is R, etc.
Zulu is the military/phonetic of the letter Z.
Wish I could. I’m throwing a birthday party for a friend that afternoon and I’m expecting to go until 4pm at least. Bummer.
Anyone want to set-up an alternate re-watch time? I could do LATER on Sunday or evening on Saturday, possibly.
So exacTly what time zone is Galactica on and how many time zones did the Death Star have?
Opps
Sorry made the thread on my last round on the board b4 bed. I get Frack and Frak confused sometimes because I’m so used to spelling the F-bomb.
The day and time isn’t set in stone. Just going with how we did the SW frak parties. It’s a good time because most people are taking a breather on Sundays before the week starts.
“Frack” is actually correct using old-skool BSG spelling.
But it’s “Oops.”
I’ll have to miss out on this one, I’m out of town from tomorrow until the middle of next week…
Thanks for the warm welcome. I was a bit surprised about the love the podcasters have for parts 2 and 3.
I know movies are pretty subjective (heck I have a perverse fondness for Escape from New York). Maybe I’ll learn something from these matrix 2 & 3 fanatics.
Way ahead of you man.
Posted a thread last night before bed here.
So anyone interested in the Matrix Frak party post there.
P.S Solai can yo do me a solid and fix the spelling of Frak on the title of that thread. I noticed that users can’t change the title of the threads they post. Thanks.
I love that film, also.
Done.

I might be able to, but I am having “health issues” right now, so I don’t know if it will be possible (long story). If I can, I will be there.
sorry to hear that, Lucky! I’ll have a good thot for you
(like the new avatar, btw)
Thoughts are with you…my next toast goes to you my friend.
Thank ya

What they said, Lucky. Hoping for better news and health.
Thank you all. It’s nothing life threatening or anything like that, but just my TBI. I wasn’t injured seriously enough for me to undergo some of the treatments for it—induced coma for example-- and I thot it was getting better, but this last week I have been stumbling around the house trying to remember what the hell I am doing—quite a bit like a punch drunk boxer actually. It’s just a very frustrating experience.
AAARRRRRGH! Netflix is broken! I might have to hit the library myself. :mad:
The Matrix is an outstanding, groundbreaking and very original movie. Reloaded is very good and did what a sequel should do which is bring things up a notch—it was very memorable. Revolutions—I guess it wasn’t all that memorable because I have trouble remembering anything really unique about the movie. But hey, just to put things into perspective—I’d much rather watch a not-so-great Matrix sequel than a better-then-average Police Academy or Die Hard sequel.
You aren’t honestly putting Die Hard on par with Police Academy, are you? :eek:
Who will win the great contest: RonMooreHasPrettyHair vs. Thotfullguy? —> http://forum.galacticwatercooler.com…ead.php?t=3208
There can be only one!
You’ve been making insane progress in the last few days, when I’ve been moving slower than ever. I’ve got a long night ahead of me if this is going to be a fair fight.
If anyone could make us enjoy them, it’s the GWC Crew.
Thirded!
Awww… I was blaming it on either them throttling (I’ve been pretty efficient recently with watching my Netflix) or the mail having problems again… and I did get a disc today. But they should have shipped 2… so yeah.
Here’s to Netflix getting that problem fixed…
Take care of yourself Lucky ! My thots are with you.
