I am totally confused with the phrase "the walking clitch." I have searched the Internet for its meaning and failed to get an explanation. Thank you for your help.

Hsheng, can you give us some context? This phrase has no meaning that I know of.

Perhaps you mean "a walking cliche"? That means the person has no original thoughts of his or her own, or is a very typical example of something.

Thank you for reply. Sorry for my typo. The word should be glitch - a walking glitch, as in "Since his abilities stem from being a walking glitch in the matrix, the only explanation is that they are still in the matrix."

[commentary on] Adrenalin Junkie (a movie)

Yes, absolutely a good movie. Though I thought the part when Morpheus
was speaking at Zion was a little much. It also seems now that every
program running in the matrix (e.g., birds, trees, sunrise, sunset)
are all AI programs that can choose to do whatever they want. So if
one day the sun doesn't come up, it's because that particular program
got bored doing it every day? errr, anyway...

Is anyone else wondering if they're still, and have always been, in
the matrix? The main reason behind this idea (though there are a few
other smaller reasons) is that Neo has special abilities in the
[supposedly] real world. Since his abilities stem from being a walking
glitch in the matrix, the only explanation is that they are still in
the matrix.

BTW, did anyone sit through the credits? At the end is the first, and
currently only, trailer for Revolutions.

I haven't seen the movie.

A walking glitch is a bug/error/malfunction which moves from a place to another in a matrix (a mathematical table, in a simple definition). This Neo must be a special character .... of an imaginary nature. Is this an anime?

Not sure if this is a mathematical matrix, or a material one.

Not sure why the colors, bolds, italics don't work any more here.
