Concerning the note pads
I also brought my lap top, just in case I got tired of using my pen.

No, your right, its incrediable how we remembered. Anyway, I also noticed that the Burly Brawl seemed a little too digital. Here's possibly a explanation: before Reloaded was released, I read a article on this fight scene, and the Wachawskis intended it to look anime, so I can see why it was made to look almost cartoonish.
I agree, this fight scene was amazing, my favorite fight sequence next to the chase.
