Yesterday afternoon DH and I watched the new MATRIX: Resurrections on HBO Max. He was NOT a fan of it. I was. I do think that the movie did miss Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving (who played tho original Agent Smith in the first movies). They did use flashback footage from the other films that showed the actors. But in this film they were played by other actors. Yahya Abdul Mateen II was the new Morpheus and Jonathan Groff was the new Agent Smith.
I did enjoy the symbolism and parallels. I also like some of the subroles and cameos. For example, Priyanka Chopra, Neil Patrick Harris, Christina Ricci, to name a few. Another person I was delighted to see in a small role was Telma Hopkins. I remember her well from her days on Family Matters (of which I was a HUGE fan). The make-up job they did on Jada Pinket Smith was pretty involved. I wasn't thrilled that it took so long to get Trinity back in to the thick of it. But...Keanu Reeves will always kick ass...and I'll stand by that. Some of the newer characters were ok but I would like to see how they grow more in additional roles.
And this was the last bowl I had from the quarantine stock that I had last week at work for a lunch. I added some pineapple and pineapple juice for a little something different. I did something similiar with my last Korean Tofu Bowl. This bowl was a Moroccan Chickpea Bowl. I have to say I enjoyed BOTH bowls with the added pineapple in them.
I know I have 3 or 4 posts today. I think I'm just trying to keep my mind off of some things (I explained a bit more in the last post).
Hope you are well. HUG your loved ones! Stay Safe!
