[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 898132, member: 63"] That makes little sense. The rebels can only appear by telephones, implying that the phone acts as a conduit that loads them into the Matrix. It's doubtful that they'd animate someone else's body, unless there just happened to be 8 people hanging out next to a random phone in the middle of an abandoned building in the first movie. We've seen people leave the Matrix via telephone, so I figure entering it works much the same. You can only create people and objects near phones, which is why they can bring in guns (and apparently a motorcycle with Trinity). It'd be kinda cool in the next movie for, say, Morpheus to be fighting in a train station, pull a phone off the hook, and tell Link to load him up some lasers and stuff. ;) Anyway, other rules. Agents' bodies can be deactivated through severe damage, but they do not seem to actually be injured. You never see Smith bleeding, nor does blood come out of the agent who fell prey to "dodge this," and by all rights, Smiths #103 to #217 should've had fractured skulls from that fight. Agents' earpieces act as a connection to the Matrix's commands and notices. Smith couldn't hear the alert of the attacking rebels in the first movie because he'd taken his earpiece out. Similarly, it seems that the earpiece lets the Matrix listen in to what the agent is doing, or else why would he have taken it out. I wonder if all the gear agents have have purposes. Do the glasses do anything in particular? Hell, the only injury Neo manages to inflict is breaking Agent Smith's shades in the first movie. The machines have copies of all kinds of old B-horror movies, like Bride of Dracula and Night of the Lupins. There is apparently only one City and one set of Mountains in the matrix. Cursing in French is like wiping your ass with silk. (Anyone wanna translate what he said?) Chocolate cake is good. Especially in French restaraunts. [/QUOTE]
