Boycott the Matrix
"Why suggest that either my faiths of anarchy must be chosen or my goals for profit."
Why, indeed? This quote is from articles which date back several months but which are still news to me. Marcus Chong, the actor who played Tank in the first Matrix film is reportedly suing the directors and producers of its sequels. This website advocates a Matrix boycott in sympathy.
We are advocating downloading, boycotting, and/or participation in a letter-writing campaign to oppose the verbal harrassment, character assasination, and eventual arrest of Marcus Chong ("Tank" of The Matrix) during failed salary negotiations by the Wachowski Brothers and Joel Silver, producers of the Matrix sequels. The role of "Tank" has been eliminated for the first sequel.
