Yes you must once more indure the torture. ^_^ Anyway, here is my newest avatar. Lets see who can guess what this is from, its quite simple ;) This one I made at school in PS7. I'm sure everyone knows how to do this type of effect but I was quite proud when I figured it out. [IMG]http://inkript.250free.com/Flames.jpg[/IMG]

I was born in Phoenix, AZ and moved to Ohio when I was 10 1/2, just before 5th grade. I've been living in Ohio for about 6 years now.

[color=teal]I don't really care for it. It looks cluttered to me. The idea is interesting but the boxes on the left look out of place or extras. :/ I like how the crystals kind of swirl back though. My rating: 6/10[/color]

I also say it last night. It was alright. I can't compare it to the first two because I never saw them but I'd have to say it wasn't what I was expecting. [QUOTE]Aliens Signs The Ring The Others Also these non Horror movies/shows: 8 Mile American Idol [/QUOTE] Also The Matrix & The Matrix Reloaded. [spoiler]The Oracle beating on the girl in the tv was priceless.[/spoiler]

Not many people dress up at my school this year. When I was a Freshmen it was crazy. We had a day where girls dressed up as guys and guys dressed up as girls(Gender Bender day it was called). Alot of them were really done well too, it was quite scary. I dressed up a few times in the past years, nothing spectacular though. One kid had a full dinosour costume on. o_o

The English teacher I had as a Freshmen and Sophmore is the sister in-law to a well known punk rock band, who I can't remember. I never would have guessed. -_-

I love the idea but I think it could use some work. I like the frame but a more metallic look would suit it better, but I guess you'll have to learn that portion. The images are too spread out and look sloppy, Neo seems squeezed in. 6/10

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][/b] [color=#707875]How on earth can you say that The Matrix was empty? It was anything [i]but[/i] empty. The Matrix was really a cinematic masterpiece, from concept and plot through to physical execution and production value. As I said earlier, the plot alone would make a great drama -- even when one ignores the fight sequences.[/color][/b] [color=#707875]Didn't you realize the significance of many of the conversations during the movie? I agree that some converrsations were not incredibly profound, but afterall, I'm not here telling you that Reloaded was the movie to end all movies. I'm just pointing out that so many people fundamentally misunderstood it...I think it's one of the most underrated movies in history. lol[/color][/b] [color=#707875]Oh, absolutely not. Definitely not. lol Many [i]adults[/i] didn't come close to understanding the entire scope of The Matrix. When I talk about The Animatrix and the online comics, I'm absolutely serious about how they open up the universe for the viewer. Charles argues that this is milking the franchise. I'm sure it probably is. But I don't see that as a drawback; look at all the other movie and TV franchises that are milked as much or more. [/color][/b] [color=#707875]I am also a writer; journalism is my career. While some elements of the movie were admittedly poorly written, one cannot fault the fundamentals. My biggest problem is that some [i]great[/i] concepts were simply not delivered with the kind of attention to detail that was required. I would certainly say this about certain conversations during the movie, but I wouldn't say that the entire movie suffered from the problem.[/color][/b] [color=#707875]Oh, PoisonTongue...how can you say that? lol. You're an intelligent guy! Don't you understand why The Architect scene was produced in that way? Don't you see why it was ten minutes rather than two sentences? I just don't get it. How can you misunderstand it so? Having said that, I do agree that some aspects of the movie were drawn out. The Architect scene was definitely not, however. It was critical and well produced, in my opinion. However, I feel that had the "rave scene" been either taken out or shortened (to make way for more plot-intensive moments), we'd all have been better off. There are a few things that could have used more definition in Reloaded.[/color][/b] [color=#707875]The Matrix...empty? My jaw is dropping as you say that. lol You probably could sum up several concepts in one paragraph. But what is the point of that? There is none. Look at the discussion of cause and effect, for example. When I first saw that, I was quite bored...and I thought "Geeze, who cares?" I admit, I did feel that way. But I implore you to watch a second time...to listen carefully and to consider this conversation in the context of the entire story. It's very important, it's well written and it's extremely relevant. I'd say the same about The Architect and The Oracle's conversations. The Oracle, for example, subtley hints at things to come -- at the responses that programs have to their machine masters. This is all so important...and it shouldn't be ignored or shrugged off as "plodding along".[/color][/b] [color=#707875]The dialogue was [i]far[/i] from porno dialogue. Far, far from it. As for punching and kicking...I feel that The Matrix was a bit "balletesque". But generally, the choreography was very good. I watched the movie for a [i]third[/i] time the other day...and generally, when really watching it and thinking about it, I didn't notice the fighting as being like feathery touches. It's really not that bad at all. I just get such a strong sense that this movie is being canned for the wrong reasons. It's being written off so quickly. But there's [i]so[/i] much intelligence, depth and genius in the plot...it doesn't deserve that kind of condemnation, especially when it's a movie that begs to be understood and torn apart by theories. [/color][/b] [color=#707875]This would have to be the single biggest misinterpretation of the franchise I have [i]ever[/i] seen. Having seen the movies and read the "officially sanctioned" essays and short stories, written by a variety of authors from around the world...I can't even begin to tell you where you are wrong here. There is nothing "lite" about The Matrix. Nothing whatsoever. The problem is that one [i]may[/i] look at the action sequences, or the fact that Keanu Reeves isn't a very good actor and immediately assume that this is the case. You can definitely make yourself sound superior/intelligent if you make these claims. lol Believe me when I tell you that I simply don't have the energy to sit here and go through, point-by-point the deeper philosophical and religious fundamentals of this franchise. I'm only responding this way because this movie is being treated so unfairly...and it is not being understood at all. I am not an unintelligent person, nor am I a person who is pulled in by things easily. If The Matrix were "philosophy-lite", I'd definitely see it. And originally, I did get a sense of that. But...what can I say? I have explored the "universe" and I've become a converted man. lol The creators deserve credit for being truly visionary individuals. I defend this movie not so much because I want to get into an argument over whether you like the movie or not (regardless of your reasons, you have the right to dislike it). The whole reason I am even posting this comment is because I see an injustice of biblical proportions here. lol That's the only way can I describe it.[/color][/b] [color=#707875]No. No, no. lol PoisonTongue...how can you [i]not[/i] get it? High school level philosophy? Even [i]you[/i] aren't understanding this movie. lol This comment could be taken in two ways. For one thing, you could say that the majority of the populace understands the basics "real world/Matrix" and that's that. You know, as if it gives them a feeling that they've grasped something. Well, that's probably true. I'd agree. However, I could also take offence at your comment. Me, as a person who is defending this movie, could definitely fall within your classification. But I know that I don't. I know, based on what I have seen and consumed of this franchise, that this is a franchise worthy of far more praise than it has received. It just saddens me that it can be attacked so lightly and so inaccurately.[/color] [color=#707875]Once again, I simply don't have the time to go through something very detailed here...maybe I will fully indulge you with my time later. How do I put this. It is easy to view The Matrix as pretending to be something that it is truly not. I can see how you would reach that conclusion. When I saw Reloaded the first time, I also felt that way to some extent. I was, in effect, disappointed. The reason that I discuss the comics and the short stories and the essays and The Animatrix is because all of these elements are "officially sanctioned". That is, they tie into one another as the main movies do. And so, when I say that the movies make up 1/3 of the franchise...I'm not kidding. And I'm not just talking about pure content, in terms of the quantity of content that is there to consume. I'm talking about the qualitative nature of the content. How can one view The Animatrix -- then fully understand it -- and claim that The Matrix is some kind of commercial slave? This could not be further from the truth. The Matrix is absolutely a sincere exploration of humanity, in a variety of ways. The ironic way in which the machines are presented (as being ruthlessly dominant over their programs, as humans were with them) is fantastic. Yes, the effects are there...and yes, they're cool. Again, it might be very easy to cynically dismiss the movies and say "Well sure, they are pretty but that means they [i]can't[/i] have any substance". The problem with this attitude is that it dramatically underrates the qualitative nature of the franchise. Of course, I had problems with Reloaded. And I felt that some of the action was quite underwhelming. But when one truly understands the entire franchise...I can only say that one also realizes how unimportant these scenes truly are. It's probably true that such scenes are what most of the public goes to see. I'm sure that 99% of the population is in that same boat. But...all I can say is that I've "seen it all" with regard to this franchise. There is so much intelligent, throught-provoking material to uncover. There's so much in the way of morbid, dark, almost grotesque backstory to become wrapped up in... There's just so much creative genius there. While my comments aren't at all going to change anyone's opinion...they just have to be here. They have to. I just can't say nothing, when I believe that a truly innovative and clever movie/comic/novel franchise is attacked without [i]real[/i] foundation.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=teal]I agree fully with you James. So much thought was put into this and I also think its misunderstood. I've seen it 7 times and each time I catch something that I had'nt the previous time. Personally I think Reloaded' was a vital part of the story and should be reconized. Alot of people tend to dislike the philosophy and dismiss it as a waste of film, but I disagree. I think it molds the story and holds great admiration. It helps one to understand the fundemental points of human life. Its amazing how accurate it is in some aspects. The rave scene made perfect sense if you think of the world they live in and the tragic, destructive past they've all endured.[/COLOR]

I also have the dvd, and really enjoy it. Actually I have two, don't ask. There are alot of other religious spcs within both movies, most alot of you probebly know from the first one. Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, Nebuchadnezzar are all religion based. The Reloaded' skit was awesome. I saw it a few months bcak when it was on tv and enjoyed watching it again.

I'll be 18 in September, so I've got a ways to go. ;) I'm not really looking forward to it atall. I know of all the responsibilities that go along with the age and I dread them. Legally being able to smoke isn't something I care for. I get worried alot actually because I know its coming. I know exactly what I want to be but I don't know how to go about in doing it. I also really regret not getting my temps and license when I turned of age. My mom tells me not to worry about it but it is a big deal. -_- What happened to the good ol' days? I remember being 14 and carefree, when I registered on OB for the first time. How time flys. :(

I like scan lines so I tend to use them alot. Its the day I made it. I like putting dates on all my wallpapers. As for the font, I would have used a Matrix one but none of them are working and I didn't feel like downloading them again at the time.

I really like it but the face seems a little strange. The rest is well drawn, and I like how you shaded her. I'd rate it 8/10. ^_~

I have a strong imagination like many of you. I don't always tense up when imagining something though, rarely I do. Sometimes I have a whole story plotting in my head which can get distracting. I'm always using my imagination and I love living in it when I'm there. My mind is a wild ride. ^_^

Yeah I don't care for the font in the second one much either but I couldn't find anything that fit. Maybe it won't have text atall. Anyway, thanks Kai and HH for the comments. Here is another piece, however I made this completely in PSP7.

Thank you, here is another. Teh evil blue spree! Its Rei from Neon Genisis Evangelion for those who don't know that. Please rate.

I've been able to work with PhotoShop 7 at school and I've figured out some cool effects. This is my latest. I took what I had made, messed with it and added an image and text. :p I bet you can guess what the image is from. ^.^; I know the text is a little hard to see but that was intentional . Please rate and such.

I'm really looking forward to Revolutions'. I loved both the first and second and I know the third will be incredible. I'vepre-ordered the Reloaded' dvd so I'm sure to get it, and I plan to see Revolutions' the day it hits theaters. The soundtrack will be out a day before the movie, November 4th.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Baron Samedi [/i] [B]School isn't supposed to suck. People with bad attitudes and nasty teachers make it so. But some advice... Don't buck the system, unless you [i]want[/i] to be crushed. And punished. [strike]By girls with leather whips[/strike].... Uuh, by teachers with detention. Go with the flow. Does it really matter? Don't make trouble for yourself- you will regret it. [/B][/QUOTE] I totally agree. Its all so true too. I see people all the time who complain and whine about stupid things and those are the ones who are usually getting in trouble. No offense to anyone. I, personally, like school. My classes arn't too bad, the teachers are nice, and do what I'm suppose to. High school are my best school years. ^_^ I hated school in Elementry and Middle school. So as Baron Semedi said, just "go with the flow".

I'll have to hear more of there songs, I really enjoyed Sleeping Awake, the video for it was also well thought out.

I've improved? Heh, thanks. Thats surprising considering I haven't much of made anything in about a month or so. I thought I'd goten rusty. I'm also getting really tired of PSP7. -_- Its so limited to what you can do and it annoys me. Yes, dread the evil blue spree! :D

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Meteora [/i] [B][color=666666][size=1][i]Wow I love this one. Forit being pinkit looks awsome. It looks a lot better then the angelic Vision thing. I thinks its because this one has color. Well anyways I like this and im rateing it a 10/10. Well keep up the good work.[/color][/size][/i] [/B][/QUOTE] Angelic.Vision had color aswell. o.O Anyway, I really like it. It looks like somewhat of a side view of a galaxy exploding, or just floating amongst the vast blackness. ^_^ It seems you're getting even better Kai.

Er, ok. I actually prefer the second over the first. Here is an avatar. Its Keanu Reeves if you couldn't tell. I'm currently using it on greatestjournal.com. Lets hope I don't go on another blue graphics spree again. oo;

Hm, I see a monkey, bird, penguin looking things, some sort of tea pot, and I think thats it. I'm a strange one. o_o;

Actually I tried to make them less dark but I couldn't get it the way I wanted it so I left it alone. -_-; Heres the second version of it.
