I enjoyed quite a few of their films, but they were never really ahead of their time. If anything, I'd say Cloud Atlas showed some regressive, light-right politics and basic storytelling that would peg them as more old-fashioned than progressive.

by Anonymousreply 28October 29, 2018 1:19 PM

Cloud Atlas was a completely overrated book and the film was worse. The book could have been great but it was so half-assed. The gimmick was just that. At least the author didn't have to scrap all those false starts--he just threw in a birthmark and nested the stories. Lame.

Matrix 1 was the only good one. Sense8 had potential but it was too CareBears to take seriously. V for Vendetta was good because of the source material. Jupiter will probably be fun to watch in a few years for the so bad it's good factor. Never saw Bound because I heard it was a lesbian flick.

Honestly, the worst casting was Mila Kunis. But I just roll with it.

I saw the movie in the theater and had a lot of fun. I've watched it probably a dozen more times on HBO or whatever on cable. It's a visual feast, with a lot of imagination and world building that I just enjoy. You can point out individual flaws all you want, it won't change the fact that I enjoy the whole.

They’re not dreads. It’s an example of white ppl appropriating black culture, according to the SJWs: apparently black dreads can be undone/washed but white “dreads” are just matted hair (hairballs) which can’t be thoroughly washed so they reek.

I have known an otherwise-hot blond guy who had matted faux dreads and he smelled like the sickly sweet putrid liquid you find at the bottom of a dumpster in July. It was nauseating to stand downwind of him.

I imagine Lana gets a pass from the SJWs about his matted hair because “she” is nobly “living her truth” in this big bad world that oppresses T’s more than anyone 🙄

[quote]I think they ripped Matrix off from someone.

They ripped everything off from myriads of people. The visuals of The Matrix were ripped off from a comic book called The Incredibles, right down to Morpheus' round sunglasses and many of the action sequences. I can't find it now but there was a website that had a side by side comparison of panels from the comic book and sequences from the movie, and they were identical.

As Grant Morrison puts it:

[quote]It’s really simple. The truth of that one is that design staff on The Matrix were given Invisibles collections and told to make the movie look like my books. This is a reported fact. The Wachowskis are comic book creators and fans and were fans of my work, so it’s hardly surprising. I was even contacted before the first Matrix movie was released and asked if I would contribute a story to the website.

And--

[quote]I love the first Matrix movie which I think is a real work of cinematic genius and very timely but I’ve now heard from several people who worked on The Matrix and they’ve all confirmed that they were given Invisibles books as reference. That’s how it is. I’m not angry about it anymore, although at one time I was because they made millions from what was basically a Xerox of my work and to be honest, I would be happy with just one million so I didn’t have to work thirteen hours of every fucking day, including weekends.

R123, you have no idea what you are talking about. Bound, V for Vendetta, and the first Matrix are not lacking in intellectual content and are definitely not for children. You sound like a really boring and annoying person when you put out proclamations about your ignorance.

R124 Does the second Matrix movie have less intellectual content than the first?

R108, would you have sex with a transman?

by Anonymousreply 126October 30, 2018 7:24 AM

The second and third movies in the trilogy were pretty bad. If you liked the Matrix, just know that it's downhill from there. The Matrix & Bound were great. Part of the issue with the sequels was the amount of time taken up by action scenes and their "bullet time" special effects. The plot was like 20% of the thing... the fighting & running around was 80%.

I get very tired of "bullet time" R127 in these comic movies.

I heard that Henry Cavill was star of a Supermen but had only 26 lines over 2 hours.

It was so DARK I could hardly see him.

R125, I honestly pretend the second and third Matrix movies don't even exist. Saw them once. That was enough. The first one is amazing, though.

by Anonymousreply 129October 30, 2018 12:27 PM

Note that they identified as men until after the release of the Matrix, so it was really directed by men regardless of how they identify today.

The only depictions of gay men : matrix's two older guys in leather; sense 8's gay guy who shares his bf with women and can't defend himself without help.

I hate these straight male assholes in constant halloween style drag.

R114, unless you would be prepared to have sex and relationships with transmen (assuming you are a gay man) then you should be considered transphobic. It's very noticeable how you avoided the question (which wasn't limited to Buck but included people like him).

R72...what’s stupid is concluding that a man doesn’t seem like a man.

What could one possibly base that conclusion? That the man does perform traditional sex roles? That’s ridiculously regressive & backward.

r136 I've heard/read several interviews with Lana, and I don't get that impression. She talked about being 'disembodied', so to speak, from a young age. Having a porn fetish, even being an autogynephile, isn't the same as having no masculine traits/habits or appearance and not IDing with anything male from childhood. It's Andy I'd think would be the autogynephile, not Lana. Any MtFs I've known over the years are similar to Lana. (I do believe it exists, but is way rarer than the current attention whoring 'non-binary' trend would suggest.)

In fairness, BDSM is not my bailiwick.

r145 I DO know a lot about BDSM, I worked in a dungeon in North Hollywood, and there were a lot of Hollwood and other execs who came in there. Their biggest request was humiliation. One of the dommes would have her guy park down the street in this rough neighborhood and walk to the dungeon is ridiculous high heels and makeup. These guys are power players calling all the shots all day long and at the end of the day, they want to be dominated and controlled by someone else and what better humiliation than being force feminized? No fucking way this dude is a woman in a man's body, but now he is free of the strains of having to be a man and make all these executive decisions. And I guarantee that fat domme he is with humiliates him on the regular still, starting with making him wear that hideous hair. Oh and fuck you r149.

Not surprising. Sissy porn isn’t something many gay men even know about much less are into since it revolves around femdom and the sub wanting to be perceived (and degraded) as a female bimbo. Larry is a classic case if that RS article is accurate.

That whole “disembodied” garbage is because they see female bodies as objects— material goods that they can purchase and possess. That’s it.

I am a proud gay man, I have no transgendered tendencies. But I work in fashion, and I'm around beautiful women every day and see the power they have over straight men.

So every once in a while, I'll see this no brain beauty marry a $$$ hedge fund guy and think, if I was ever to have a sex change (which would be never - I love being gay and my big dick too much) I would want to be as beautiful as I could. And these Wachowski girls have enough money to go to the best plastic surgeons on the planet, the best nutritionist, the best trainers in their world at their disposable. So why are they so ugly????

so many M2F "women" are so damn ugly??? With that kind of money, I want to walk into a room and stop every straight man in their tracks oogle me.

I see this time and time again, really really really ugly M2F lesbian trannies. for fuck's sake, pick up a Vogue magazine and do your research.

Because it's even more powerful to make people acknowledge you as a woman and treat you as such even when the cognitive dissonance is so fucking rampant! You can bet that the trannies that need to pass don't pull this 5 o'clock shadow and bulging cock under a dress bullshit. Only the ones like in r154 who are already powerful and wealthy and have many sycophants around them. What a fucking rush, to have some hot young thing have to possibly flirt with you despite being fucking disgusting, just to not be called a bigot or get fired.

I recently got into the V for Vendetta source material. Thought it fitting, with our current political climate, with other countries (Brazil) following in our heinous footsteps. I have always enjoyed comics, and was probably the only little girl in my family who insisted on reading them.

This is a little off topic, but I hooked up with this older guy (49) who was very handsome and very flirty. He was working on his car in his driveway as I walked by. But he stopped me and asked me some ridiculous question, and realized he's flirting with me. Cut to the chase... we get to my place he gets naked and fucking Jesus Christ, has one of the world's best dicks (believe me, I've been around). Huge and uncut (which unlike DL standards, I happened to love uncut and even fetishize uncut dicks.) We had a great afternoon, but I could tell he was not very experienced in gay sex, I thought mid-life crises and now he realizes he's hitting 50 and realizes that attracted to men and is a big ole bottom?

That first afternoon was fun, a possible fuck buddy in my neighborhood who is walking distance from my place great. We hook up a couple of times more. Then one night he calls me around 3 am and wants to hook up, and I"m instantly hard and say come on over. While still on the phone he asked if he could wear a sexy outfit - I'm hell yes, stop talking and come over. In hindsight, I really should have asked what his interpretation of sexy outfit was.

When he knocks on the door, I open it and there is this very very handsome guy standing there in an awful thrift store mini dress and a $10 wig! I'm speechless. He tells me he likes to dress up in women's clothes and panties and likes to be called Tiffany (how cliche.) Anyways, he can tell right away that I'm shocked, to say the least. I tell him that he's totally ok with his fetish, but it is really not my thing. He tells me that I'm on the few people to ever meet "Tiffany" and if I'm not into sex with "Tiffany" could she hang out at my place. Now I'm feeling like a jerk, I realize that this married, straight father of 4 with 2 grandkids has this big secret, and I have no boner for him.

So feeling guilty, I let him in and we have a couple of drinks. After some back and forth, we come to a comprise, no "Tiffany" or wig or women's clothes but he can keep the women's panties on. Again we had great sex, I fucked him, he fucked me with his massive cock (wearing the panties really turned him on.)

So it was weird, but we made it work. The next time he came over, he was in male clothes but had a thong on, which doesn't really bother me. however, like I said before he doesn't really have anyone to talk about his gender issues and this time he asked me about gender reassignment surgery, and he was thinking about. I pulled his massive dick out of my mouth and said you'd really want to cut this off. Please don't. Have your play time with you girlie clothes, but don't do anything permanent until you are 100% sure. You have a wife, kids and grandkids to keep in mind. Plus, I actually said this, you are a very handsome and very masculine man, and no amount of hormones or surgery is ever going to make you pass as a woman. keep it as your kink. He listened and I think he understood. So we had a couple more fuck session.

That is until the 2016 elections, where after sex, we were just talking about random things and he said American will never vote for a female, his words "what are we going to do when Hillary is on her period and being hormonal." for fuck's sake, I told him she's in her late 70's asshole, she not having a period ever. he then revealed himself to be a Trumph supported, and I was done. I can handle ladies undergarments, but a Trumph supporter I draw the line. no matter how amazing our sex life was, or how I fucking worshipped his porno worthy uncut cock. I told him to leave and we have never hooked up with again. I've seen him in my neighborhood, but now just ignore him.

Trannies are fucked in the head.

Absolutely, R173. Larry is simply an autogynephile who was rich enough to quit his job, marry his dom, and live his kink 24/7 for the rest of his life. It's unusual, but, you know, whatever floats his boat. The part that really weirds me out is that his brother copied him. What are the odds of that? What the hell was/is their relationship?

Obviously their parents over indulged the two of them...Lana is an idiot who likes to be tortured and Lilly does not mind being the ugliest girl in the room. What the fuck? The neighborhood they grew up in put no limitations on them.
