Quote:The following chronicle of Larry Wachowski's transformation was originally published January 12, 2006 in RollingStone (archive.is/Y1xcB) -- and silently purged at some point since then (likely due to accusations of transphobia). Other than the addition of some photos and a youtube video, the article is faithfully reprinted exactly as it appeared in 2006.
And yet another Elon thread, this time about how the biography they expected to show us his true villainous side is all fake because it's not following their narrative 😂

Maybe you should get some context beyond being hateful all the time?
The Master Resurrections sucks so fucking much that it’s actually a masterpiece. The movie could only ever be as bad as it is by actually trying to make it suck dick, but with the Wachowski’s downwards spiral of repeatedly abusing the goodwill of the first movie, it can legitimately be an attempt at making a good movie. There is certainly enough on the movie to make you think it is intentionally terrible, but also there’s enough juice in it to make you think it simply failed.
Movie is both critic proof and insultingly awful.
Also this thread moves too fast, it’s impossible to catch up to. The female dwarf topic was dropped way too fast.

These people seriously don't get out do they? Harry Potter is the biggest selling book series of all time, appeals to literally all normal people lmao
Look, its really very simple; she's an over rated hack with no actual talent that maybe only the feeble minded would fall for and nobody really likes anyway, while simultaneously a powerful orator who can sway even the strongest wills if exposed to their heretical rhetoric.
Frankly, the implication that a nebulous enemy who is both simultaneously an insidious near omnipotent threat and also easily defeated through the courage of zealous moral purity to be highly intellectually dishonest propaganda of the most transparent sort is entirely accurate in itself heretical.

Also, I actually really enjoyed Matrix Resurrections and what it was trying to do, and went from 'its a huge fucking mistake to recast laurence fishburne and hugo weaving' before watching to 'it was a huge fucking mistake not to have recast keanu as a greasy balding incel nerd and carrie ann moss as a fat frumpy housewife' afterwards

They made three good films. Bound, the first Matrix film and V for Vendetta.
The first matrix film is a lightning in a bottle thing that came together from a million difference influences and caught the spirit of the times in a way that will never really age.
Matrix 2+3 was such an epic let down at the time. It seemed absolutely unfuckupable.
The Matrix is not good.
You will never convince me anything about that was planned ahead of time either, because nothing about the climax (which is in 2) logically leads to any of the events in 3. Even though these two parts were scripted and shot together. And the entire Agent Smith shit is a patch on the fact that they never came up with a solution to the dilemma from the first movie so it was similarly garbage.
And what they did to V for Vendetta is frankly a hate crime.
Sense8 is excellent
I like Cloud Atlas

Graham Linner: Transpeople don't create any great art.
ResetEra: Hahahahaha, the Wachowski's!! Pwned!
![[Image: LIZerbf.png]](https://i.imgur.com/LIZerbf.png)
Facts:
The Matrix: Great, but Wachowski's were still dudes at this point
--- Transitioning begins ---
The Matrix Reloaded: An ok movie
The Matrix Revolutions: Bad
Speed Racer: Mediocre
Cloud Atlas: Boring
Jupiter Ascending: Totally, totally sucked
The Matrix Resurrections: Absolute fucking shit, lowest point in the franchise
Maybe if Wachowski's transitioned back, they'd start making great movies again.
Glinner is a crackpot and a lunatic, but he is right. There hasn't been a single great work of art, whether it's a movie, painting, book, etc... that I can think of. Not sure what's inaccurate about that statement.
Edit: Also the whole "The Matrix is actually a trans-allegory" is one of the stupidest attempted retcons in movie history ever. Absolutely no one watching it for the first time would think 'Wow, this is about the trans experience!' The fact you have to come out and openly explain that it's supposedly a trans-allegory twenty years after the movie was released in itself means it completely failed as an allegory.
Also, from that Twitter post:
Trans people: 'There's a transgenocide, somebody save us, we are dying!!! ;_;'
Also trans people: 'Hahaha, Graham Linner says he is suicidal? Get fucked and die transphobe, hahaha!!1!'
You just wait until they try to retcon Shakespeare or Vivaldi into a trans woman my dude...

We already know that.

I need a concise explanation of what the trans allegory is in The Matrix, not a four hour video, because I'm not seeing it.
