Before Agent Smith in The Matrix, there was the divine Annie Lennox in shades.

I wonder if the Wachowski brothers got 'inspired' by Annie in my favourite Eurythmics video for the look of Agent Smith.

You can see what I mean in the latter part of the video (starting ~ 2:20).

Eurythmics, best band of the 80s AINEC!

I love Annie Lennox. Saw her in concert with Sting a number of years ago, they both put on a fantastic show and they both came out and did a couple numbers with each other.

She still sounds great BTW.

A lot of people say I look like Agent Smith. Not sure if it's a compliment or an insult...

So you're saying you look like Hugo Weaving?

Doctor Who had already been in the Matrix 23 years before Neo. Then there was William Gibson's novels. There was nothing new in The Matrix movie.

I can tell by the thread titles which ones are yours. The little pop up with first line or so is just icing on the cake in that regard.

Or how about "The Matrix" in Shadowrun?

Suits and sunglasses. Truly a stroke of genius. Nobody had ever thought of that before. If it was sunny you went inside and changed into some other clothes before putting on the shades.

It's amazing that her little frame has that big voice. The first time you hear it live you're like
