Personally, I too am a bit sketchy on the Terminator thing cause, really, if such is the case then she's roughly 20 years behind on that one, ne? When did the actual 'Terminator' movie come out?
That having been said, we're talking about The Matrix here, and if she did in fact submit a manuscript to them, which they "didn't use," and yet this Trilogy is hers... plus, there's a difference between "we created an amalgam of philosophical-type thingies" a la Silent Hill and "we took your story and put our name on it." And the fact that The Brothers W and Warner themselves seemed to be conscious and covering up... That's a bit incriminating.
But yes, I still plan on getting Der Uberboxen myself, as though I have gripes with the second and third movies, I love philosophy, and I devour whatever I can find. Or something.
I still maintain that the third movie is the most flawed. I love the second. Nothing's as good as the first, but...they're all wonderful movies, beautiful-looking and in-depth films, still by far my favorites.
I think you'll love the commentary the Brothers have done for all three of them. The first commentary track features a pair of philosophers who loved the movies. The second, a trio of film critics who hated them. The Brothers say that if they'd had the budget for it, they would've also had philosophers who hated the films and critics who loved them, but...anything's better than the typical "Hey, remember that day? When we did that thing? That was awesome" kind of commentary.
