Well, I managed to watch The Matrix Reloaded (Which came out in cinemas in 2003 (Same year that The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (My all time favourite Lord Of The Rings movie) released in theaters along with The Matrix Revolutions (I finally got an opportunity to see the movie last year when it was aired on TVNZ 2 that I recorded it on a MySky digital recorder) as well as England winning the Rugby World Cup in Australia, the Linkin Park album Meteora (That I've got for Christmas 2 months ago) had to be released & my half brother Jansen (Who is now accident prone (First he got bitten by my dog Buck (Who was put down already last month) then he fell off a scooter near the school grounds after Dad took me to the Med lab) was born on the 9th of August) today but my favourite parts of the movie were the opening fight scene between Neo & the upgraded agents as well as Neo's fight with Seraph (Played by well established Taiwanese movie actor Collin Chou who played Hayate in the DOA: Dead Or Alive movie & the evil Jade Warlord in the Jet Li & Jackie Chan movie, The Forbidden Kingdom) at a tea house then the burly brawl between Neo & the Agent Smith clones & the chateau fight scene between Neo & the Merovingian's henchmen (I watched the rest of The Matrix (Although I did not know that The Matrix trilogy was filmed in Australia (Well, they may have turned Australia into America for that one especially in the city of Sydney but the highway scenes in The Matrix Reloaded were filmed in America) compared to The Lord Of The Rings film trilogy which was filmed in New Zealand & the Star Wars original, prequel & sequel trilogies was filmed in Australia, Bolivia, China, Croatia, Guatemala, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, UAE, United Kingdom & the United States (And from a galaxy far, far away to Middle Earth & finally the Mega City where those universes have taken place) movie last night before I went to bed but my favourite parts of the 1st Matrix movie were the opening scene where Trinity tries to evade both the agents & the cops, the club scene where Trinity first meets the protagonist Thomas A 'Neo' Anderson (Played by Lebanese born Canadian Hollywood movie star Keanu Reeves (At 1st I thought he was American but he's Canadian instead & is my 4th favourite movie actor behind Samuel L Jackson, Tom Cruise & Arnold Schwarzenegger (My favourite New Zealand actor is Temuera Morrison ahead of Karl Urban which is my 2nd favourite Kiwi actor as well) who played as Ted 'Theodore' Logan in the Bill & Ted trilogy, FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) agent Johnny Utah from Point Break, LAPD officer Jack Traven from Speed, Kai from 47 Ronin & internationally renowned assassin John Wick from the John Wick trilogy), the training fight scene between Neo & his new friend Morpheus as well as the lobby shootout, the rooftop scene & Neo (Referred by Agent Smith as Mr Anderson compared to Cypher being referred by Agent Smith as Mr Reagan) fighting the main villain Agent Smith (He won't appear in the 4th Matrix movie because of their actor Hugo Weaving (The Australian movie star who portrayed Lord Elrond from the Lord Of The Rings & The Hobbit (Well, I have seen The Hobbit film trilogy now but I was never interested from it because I prefer Lord Of The Rings than The Hobbit) trilogy as well as Red Skull from Captain America which I have never seen) who played Agent Smith (His attire among other agents in the Matrix movies reminds me of a US Secret Service agent (Known as the US President's bodyguards/security detail) as well as an agent of the Men In Black in the Men In Black movies) who has dropped out due to scheduling conflicts but it looks like the Merovingian has taken over as the antagonist of the film (It's good that Agent Smith is destroyed after the events of The Matrix Revolutions but somehow the Merovingian did manage to survive) in a subway but the 4th Matrix movie (Now called Matrix which is going to be a reboot) focuses on Neo & Trinity who are both back from the dead in the previous movie The Matrix Revolutions are on a mission to eliminate the Merovingian) + there are a few Kiwi actors who appeared in the major movies (That's what you call a New Zealand connection) that I'm a fan of such as Temuera Morrison (Famous Kiwi actor who played Dr Hone Ropata (Who had been told by a nurse on Shorty Street that he is not in Guatemala now) in the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street & Jake 'The Muss' Heke in the famous Kiwi movie of all time, Once Were Warriors) who appeared in the Star Wars prequel trilogy as Jango Fett & the Galactic Republic clone troopers in both Attack Of The Clones & Revenge Of The Sith as well as Tem provided the voice of Boba Fett (Jango's son) in the later versions of The Empire Strikes Back (Which is part of the Star Wars original trilogy) as well as Karl Urban (Full name: Karl Heinz Urban) who appeared in both Lord Of The Rings (And don't forget that it was directed by a New Zealander by Oscar winner Sir Peter Jackson) films in the LOTR trilogy such as The Two Towers & The Return Of The King as Eomer (Brother of Eowyn & nephew of King Theoden of Rohan) & Raetihi born Julian Arahanga (AKA Nig Heke (Son of Jake 'The Muss') in Once Were Warriors in which he appeared with Tem Morrison as well as being the half brother of Tammy Davis who is an actor just like Arahanga (Who used to be a movie star these days) as well as being the son of producer Larry Parr) who appeared in 1 single Matrix movie in The Matrix trilogy such as The Matrix as Apoc but this morning after I had breakfast was telling Pops about the Wallabies rugby team used to be good 20 years ago because of John Eales being a world class rugby player (He was a handy goal kicker these days as Pops told me) until they were fallen flat as of today (That was England ruled the rugby world in 2003 followed by South Africa who took over in 2007 then New Zealand twice in 2011 & 2015 & South Africa again at the last Rugby World Cup in 2019)
So that is my 389th blog of the year 2021 (MMXXI) & my 9th of this year.
