What is so interesting? That his mom sewed a Neo costume for her nerdy 15 year old son?

Fascinating

Actually, the other day I was eating lunch and saw a guy I thought reminded me a little like Keanu Reeves. With that costume, it would have been a pretty good look-a-like.

And if this had been posted on Oct. 31st, you people wouldn't be so harsh, and might actually enjoy it. So give it a rest.

People here are too quick to pull the trigger. Sure, it can be fun to be rude (well, to some of us abnormal people), but some people don't give it a rest and it just gets really annoying. They have to disagree and be dicks about everything. I know these kinds of people are around my age and everything, but when I read these threads I feel as I've been hoisted light years above their maturity levels. I should enjoy it while I can.

As do your non-stop quips, jabs, and insults?

(Before you even get the chance, I've never claimed to be mature. )

The way I choose to "theme" my sig is irrelevant. Even so, I have an excuse...several of the female characters on the show are incredibly hot (which helped me go for the Xena thing). I find Hudson Leick (the woman who played Xena's archenemy Callisto) to be increasingly attractive.

Seriously, what made you think it'd be good to share those photos with us? It's not like anyone who went out on Friday night didn't bump into at least 300 people all dressed exactly the same.

Wow nerds jumpping on nerds for being nerdy...thats a new one...

Give the buy a break, he shared some pictures with you. I'm sure the guy in the pictures (if it is him) doesn't wear the costume for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Must we forget halloween was what? 5 days ago. I think the costume is very authenic and very cool, i'd definetly rock that at a halloween party or something.

Alof of people here need to chil out and just go with the flow. Accept people, and their posts.... If if you feel like being a jackass...you certainly don't gain popularity by bashing someone in their thread.... No one really freakin' cares if you think somethins cool or not.

You may have noticed neither did I Chris

I don' think anyone thinks you are mature at the ripe old age of 15 anyway

It is actually kinda creepy how jealous you are of me that you would put so much effort into me on many levels. That is probably why your old user name here got canned long ago.

Actually it's a cassock worn by Anglican/Western Rite Deacons and Priests. I know, I own one (it's part of my Ftr. Guido costume).

First of all, let me get something straight. This is my good friend, so if you spend time typing stupid comments, you are basically pissing me off. And if you're going to comment on him being "in shape," he's a stout mofo on my athletic team who could bench about 1.5 times his own weight and pull a 6:30 2000 meter piece on the erg machine (if you row you'll know what I mean).

In essence, STFU if you don't have a clue what you're talking about. He never browsed this forum, so be more respectful about people you don't know.

Landos... It amazes me how negative you are of these movies... it's almost like you exist as our opposite... someone who exists just to tell us all how bad the movies sucked. If that 's all you got out of it, we all are *definitely* aware of your opinion. Let us enjoy what we want to... You also may notice that while the critics give it about a C-, all the REAL people give it an A. An apt quote follows:

**** the Critics, they get paid to trash something good. It's known that in journalism the more negative you are, the more attention you get. Thats whats happening here. Revolutions was awesome.

You are that negative. Stop trying to get attention.

All as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as Love.

What exactly were you expecting us all to type? An in-depth appreciation of the intricate needlework involved in the making of the costume? An in-depth evaluation of the costume against the other 3,000 Neo costumes we've seen this weekend?

Quite positive you don't know Lucy Lawless. So why are you assuming your location as her character's "shag pad"? Isn't that a little disrespectful? Any less disrespectful than the people here disrespecting your friend's Neo character?

You're really trying hard to sound intelligent, and I'll give you that one. However, you'll never win in a dispute against me. For starters, talking about my sig is completely off-topic.

That was weak dude. C'mon, tell us how us talking about your friend's character is in any way different than you talking about Lucy's character.

I'll never win in a dispute against you? Slight ego problem you have there?

Once again it amazes me that you cannot understand that I loved the First Matrix, hated the 2nd and haven't seen the 3rd.

Are you so personally offended by the fact that I didn't like the second movie that you have to run around throwing a hissy and making it sound like I hate all movies for the fun of it?

Why is it that everyone who feels the need to wear a black trenchcoat are exactly the kind of people who should never, ever, ever wear a black trenchcoat?
