Day 220 of 365 days.

I had made up my mind yesterday to do a Matrix picture today. For a couple reasons. One, I enjoyed my Scarface poster from the other day. And also, this weeks Class With Dave assignment was to do a Matrix inspired picture. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a very strong idea. I didn’t want to just stand there, and I wasn’t really in the mood to clone myself.

Then it stormed all day today and this idea was born. I’m still not sure I like it as much as the Scarface picture, but then, Scarface was a better movie.

Maybe I should have added a rated R emblem to this one too. But I didn’t want to cover up any of the matrix symbols.

    Oh Wow! That’s very, very Good! I had to fave that!

    @lrayholly: thanks. I was kind of unsure about it.

    No! Great job on this! Nothing to be unsure of. The angle you’re standing at looks really hard to hold! This is so cool!


    Seen next to a fellow photo of Take a class with Dave & Dave. (?)

    @evaxebra: thanx. It was. By back is pretty tired now.

    Great job with this! I agree, that looks like a tough angle to hold, lol! I don’t know how thrilled Dave is going to be about you saying Scarface was a better movie, though. 🙂

    You look like you’re having the most fun ever.

    @Rachel-B: Thank you. And Scarface is definitely a better movie. Being a better movie has nothing to do with what you like more. I like Matrix plenty, actually. But Scarface is simply quantantively better.

    @Jack Scoresby: Heh… actually, its more like "oh god, I’m going to hurt myself" but it was kind of fun.

    WOW! You always have the greatest ideas. So awesome!

    Well, Manos, The Hands of Fate was a better movie than Matrix Reloaded, so I don’t see why anyone would argue about Scarface being worse.

    The original Matrix, on the other hand, is far better than Scarface.

    @PhotoKat: Thanx. I dunno. This image didn’t get as much play as I expected.

    @wooble: Matrix is much better than Matrix Reloaded, but I really like the title copy better with the Reloaded there. Matrix is a very enjoyable film, and in fact I think I’ve probably seen it more times than I’ve watched Scarface, but Scarface is better executed and designed in the first place, and hmmm… I think I might feel a full fledged blog rant coming on.

    You RULE. I just said to my husband last night that I couldn’t wait to see what you did for the Matrix assignment because I knew you’d rock it.
    I have no idea how I’m going to do mine.

    @sadandbeautiful (Sarah): wow. I’m like dinner table conversation? Cool! I don’t know that I rocked it, but I gave it a try. As for what to do. Just put on an all black outfit and go down to your basement and start screwing around. You’ll come up with something.

    excellent work mav!!!

    did your mom’s blue/red pill photo inspire this one (sorry, a bit behind on everybody’s stream so i didn’t read any of above comments!)

  14. March 20, 2007 at 2:50 pm

    @pi c’s: not exactly. I took it for the same reason she did though. D.rex’s Class with Dave assignment.

  15. March 20, 2007 at 3:13 pm

    very cool!

    @icekween01: thank you.

  17. March 20, 2007 at 5:19 pm

    Jack Scoresby knew I’d be commenting on this. This is great, cant agree with you on Scarface being better, I fall asleep each time I see it. This is a fantastic picture.

  18. March 20, 2007 at 6:32 pm

    @Doug Schwarz: heh… I still say Scarface is better as a film. I’m planning on writing a blog about it tonight. But I appreciate the comment and the fave. Thanks.

  19. March 21, 2007 at 12:28 am

    ok everyone who cares, I wrote about Scarface vs. Matrix in my blog, here. If people are interested, I’d love to know your opinions.

  24. March 22, 2007 at 4:51 am

    You did rock it Mav, I have no doubt!

  25. March 22, 2007 at 10:49 am

  27. March 22, 2007 at 11:55 am

    @sassyshannon999: thanx. I still didn’t think it was quite as good as some of my others, but I’m glad other people like it.
