In The Matrix (1999) In The Real World Both Cypher And Mouse Are Bleeding From Both Ears In Every Scene
I FOUND THE ANSWER!
It’s a hidden detail in the original script.
“MORPHEUS This will feel a little weird.
There are several disturbing noises as he works the needle in.
We MOVE IN as Neo’s shoulders bunch and his face tightens into a grimace until a LOUD CLICK fires and his ears pop like when you equalize them underwater.”
When you enter the Matrix, your ears pop. Scuba divers often can get blood in their ears from this effect. So, the “jacking-in” causes the ears to pop. If repeatedly done (to talk to the machines or to see a woman in a red dress) would mean repeatedly popping your ears—causing them to eventually bleed.

Cold Contagious 4 years ago
The Dark Knight is a phenomenal movie! I love so many things about it and think it's a stand out to the three in the series. However, I've often wondered if Heath Ledger hadn't put so much darkness into the character, utilizing the methods that he did to put himself into that headspace, would he have survived? I know it's a question that will never be answered and it may have only prolonged the inevitable, if he hadn't been associated with The Dark Knight movie. One will never know. There's just a lot of sadness associated with situations like these and how such talented people are often gone far earlier than anyone would expect.

In Stargate (1997), Daniel is a linguist who is remarkable for being able to translate ancient Egyptian which is revealed to be an alien language. He comments, “It’s easy once you know the vowels.” This is a reference to actual Egyptian hieroglyphs which do not contain vowels, so translating ancient Egyptian in real life has thus far only been making assumptions based on what vowel sounds would exist between the known consonants.

I hear you. But sometimes, the scene goes too fast that it's kind of tough to see all the details.

In Stargate (1997), Daniel is a linguist who is remarkable for being able to translate ancient Egyptian which is revealed to be an alien language. He comments, “It’s easy once you know the vowels.” This is a reference to actual Egyptian hieroglyphs which do not contain vowels, so translating ancient Egyptian in real life has thus far only been making assumptions based on what vowel sounds would exist between the known consonants.
