Class Dismissed

My 12-grade English notebook revealed


Exhibit 1. The Tell-tale Title


Exhibit 2. Futuristic Costumes

Not long ago, I found my senior English notebook from high school mouldering in the bottom of an old trunk.

"Aha!" I thought, "finally a decent read for the long winter evenings."

No sooner had I curled up in bed and begun thumbing through the yellowing pages, when I became swept-away with pleasant nostalgia for the "good old days". . . And I don't mean the 17th century.

I also made an interesting discovery.

Apparently, I was the original creator of the title, characters and script for The Matrix about 10 years before the Wachowski Brothers. Could they have stolen the idea from me? You be the judge. [Abridged, PDF 6.7MB]
