Hugo Weaving based Agent Smith’s precise, unsettling speech pattern in The Matrix (1999) on old news anchors and bureaucrats. He wanted Smith to sound like a computer imitating authority, which is why every “Mr. Anderson” still sends chills.

Agent Smith’s “humanity is a virus” monologue in The Matrix (1999) is one of the coldest villain speeches ever written. Hugo Weaving delivers it with such calm certainty that it sticks with you long after the scene ends.

In The Matrix, Hugo Weaving was perfect as Agent Smith and it wasn’t accidental. He wanted a voice that felt commanding yet strangely comforting, the kind that gives you a false sense of security. So he modeled it on 1950s American newscasters.

In The Matrix, when developing Agent Smith, Hugo Weaving wanted a voice that was commanding yet comforting, something that gives off false sense of security. He ended up modeling on ’50s newscasters. Laurence Fishburne even compared him to Walter Cronkite.

To embody the "old money" arrogance of Freddie Miles in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Hoffman adopted a specific "lockjaw" accent. He wanted the character to sound like someone who had spent his entire life being served and was perpetually bored by it.

In the movie, The Matrix, Agent Smith has the ability to enter any body, at any time, and that often happens when the Matrix is threatened by Neo. This scenario is a reflection of our real world. For example, you're having a conversation with a friend/family member/partner and everything is fine until you mention something like 9/11 was inside job. Now watch what happens, up pops the Agent Smith to replace the person you were just having a conversation with to attack you because all truths threaten the Matrix, which gives them feeling of safety, security and purpose in this "hologram" reality. Most people have had the Agent Smith programing since birth. These programed people become the guardians of the Matrix, protectors of the narrative and enforcers of indoctrination which holds together our false concept of reality like super glue. Think critically.

The Matrix didn’t lie. 1999 was the peak of human civilization. It was the perfect point in time when technology was advanced enough to augment and improve human life but not so advanced that it was used to surveil and control. Technology was still in service of the individual. After 2001 and The Patriot Act, everything changed. “I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this (1999): the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You've had your time. The future is *our* world, Morpheus. The future is our time.” - Agent Smith (The Matrix) Pay attention to what Smith said. Reread it. As soon as the technology started being in service of technology (agent smith is an AI), and NOT in service of humans, and humans GAVE THEIR POWER AWAY, it became the civilization of the machines, not the humans. TLDR: Hoard physical media. PS5 DRM bad.

Donald Trump didn’t add any new tariffs on Canada, we are CUSMA exempt, but still have steel and aluminum like every other country. But Carney’s entire campaign is based on picking a fight with Trump on the tariff issue which is why he might look distressed here.

What do you get when an old engineer gets their hands on an ESP32 based LED matrix, a microphone, a 3d printer and Fusion360? Chills! Literal Chills! Got some winamp vibes on this weekend by designing this visualizer to beat to any music that's playing around.
