Since Neo and friends first hit the big screens in 1999, several movies have tried to copy The Matrix in some shape or form (Underworld, Constantine, Equilibrium, The Island). Now there’s another one to add to the list, "Wanted".

It will strip out some of your tags, wrap everything in <p></p> and rearrange your JavaScript code.
