Wierd downloads and Bible quotes
Apr. 6th, 2005 09:40 pmDuring my trip to Lowell and the usual duties at the CyberCafe, I downloaded some of the Matrix Online (hereafter "the MxO") trailers and attempted to burn them onto a CD-R disk. For some reason, only one of them would play back on my comp, and that was the "zion_1" trailer... and part of the Matrix-side urban landscape in that includes -- get this -- a billboard of the "Constantine" movie poster. Wierd.
And then as my mother and I were doing a little Bible study, this quote from Luke jumped out at me:
"They did eat and drink, they married wives and were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them." (Lk. 17: 27 Douai-Rheims translation).
Now, I may be playing Flood, the Merovingian's head goon/chief lackey, a canon character from the MxO, for Laurie's "Matrix" Alternate/Extended Universe RPG. And since the Brothers Wachowski are fond of lifting Bible notations and using them for liscense plates on various cars/identifying plates on the hovercrafts, I'm thinking of putting "LK-1727" on the silver-grey Mercedes which I imagine the Merv's stylish henchman drives when he's out running various menial tasks for his boss. Flood, as I understand from things posted on the MxO site, wants nothing more than to find a way to either get out from under the Merv's thumb, or toppling the Merv completely. For some reason, the first half of that verse kinda stuck out too: (possibly later on in our storyline) I'm playing the Merv as being a leetle distracted by his various pleasures, and therefore not *quite* so aware of the fact that his second-in-command is trying to pull the rug out from under him...
