Oh yeah, that’s the theme for TCP this week. Blockbuster films.. Out of the top 20 films, I failed to watch Avatar, Star Wars 1 and 3. From the looks of it, Avatar is a must watch, imagine, being second to Titanic. OK now, we have to see this movie TCPers! Now na!
And yeah for my entry, I will go with The Matrix Revolution, and I will give you some trivia about it. I am pretty sure all TCPers have seen this movie aready but not of you know this bit of trivia that I will share.. hihi..
Did you remember the girl that Neo met before fighting the virus? The girl in the train station. Her name is SATI. Yes, I got Sati’s nickname from that movie. Even before, I already had a name for a baby girl and that is SOFIA ANANTA. What I don’t have is a nickname for that name. I always make it a point to have a nickname for my kids that is very different (or slightly) from their full name. So when I saw Sati and learned the meaning of her name in that movie (which is new beginning), I want it to be the nickname of my baby girl who will have the full name SOFIA ANANTA. Only later that learned that Sati is a hindu tradition of the immolation of a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre (source) But it also means friendship in Nepal and one of the most used term there. yay!
wow, we’re you able to research all these? Most of the films that my family watched are here, except for Harry Potter. I didn’t allow my kiddos to watch this film because I don’t like.
You really take time to surf, right?
Blessings on your coming contest.
i dont watch HP too.. i dunno.. prang di ko feel panoorin haah
what a great trivia on Sati’s name!
agree marce!
hope you manage to watch avatar marce. para naman makompleto ang top20 movies that you have seen.
galing naman, may trivia pa ang nickname ni sati. hehe! loved the matrix too. sorry about my late comment ha.. and thanks for joining tcp. hope to see you next week. our theme is courtroom drama. hugsy!

hbby and i were discussing how great the LOTR trilogy was. and why it didn’t hit the number one spot in the box office. pero oks na rin yung nasa number 3 cya ano. at least nasa top 3. i just love LOTR! mas gusto ko pa panoorin un kesa sa titanic.
