The Matrix - Advertisements
So far I have seen ads on TV for the Matrix 10 times.
Which is strange because I usually don't see any previews for Keanu's
movies because I never watch the right channel at the right time!
For this movie, they were on during a lot of the shows I watch.
And now that I have seen the movie the ads are even better!
I've caught the "Rock is Dead" (Marilyn Manson) music video as well.
It's neat.
As the Globe article meantions, it's one of many movies that is
like a commercial in disguise. I agree it's very much the same "compacted joy."
Anyway, most will have noticed a lot of the "props" used in the
movie were pretty damn cool (ie THE BOOTS (with Airwalk logo), and the
sunglasses!)

The Trenchcoat - Neo's Trenchcoat was available at As Seen On Screen. Hope to see it there again.
Yahoo! [January 2000] Though they were due out in November or December 1999, regular visitors to the Silver Snail comic store (in Toronto - which has been advertising them) have told me only Switch figures are available at the moment. You might be able to find them somewhere on the net though.
Found some cool stuff (just merchandise - not really used in the movie) over at Another Universe. Including: T-shirts. (Thanks to Mary Jo on the keanucentral list)
