Hi there bloggies, I’ve been seeing some post warning me of an A – Z Challenge and I was curious. I’ve seen this around before but have never participated, for some mad reason I thought I would give it a go.
So here I am.
My theme is the A-Z of Scifi moves, I’ve not given this a great deal of thought and I know of a number but I won’t lie there’s some I will struggle with. I hope you enjoy them!
M is for the Matrix
The Matrix – a puzzle for a young computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves)to work out. What is the Matrix? Where is it? It almost seems to be an urban myth or legend until Morpheus makes contact with Neo, followed by the positively creepy Agent Smith.
Eventually meeting the great Morpheus Neo is offered two choices, signified by the now infamous blue and red pills. To find out the truth and never go back to his old life, or to go back to his life and remember nothing of what happened.
The truth is far more horrifying that Neo could imagine and the start of an adventure beyond his wildest dreams that will take him to beyond death.
The scene of Neo stopping the bullets is totally iconic and this is a great film, followed by two others that complete the trilogy this was arguably the best, as it makes you ask the question – what is reality?
With M done that means N is next… Hmmm.. we’re going to get even darker.
I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually…
In this series of posts I’m going to look at the human perspective and ask questions like ‘What does it mean to be human?’ or ‘How can I be a better Human?’ with a little sprinkling of ‘How can I be more comfortable as a human?’In this mad world we’ve been enduring especially over the…

I liked the first film in the trilogy because of course, Keanu Reeves, however the second one (I think) which had the scene of Agent Smith multiplying and attacking Neo in the park was just too much CGI.
Simon I need help! How do I use spell check and insert a photo. I have tried everything and none of the buttons allow these funtions. Thanks a million.
I did enjoy Matrix (although everyone got fed-up of me telling them it was a steal from the novel The Joy Makers by James E Gunn)

For many reasons most think the first was the best.

This new program is missing to much for me to use it. I couldn’t even find spell check. While they work out the bugs I’ll gladly use the old editor.
