You had to be there

I fear for you. Wear sunscreen.

Burn, forced, ASS… subtitles are great, but what about domtitles?

It’s from Akakichi no Eleven

That phrase lives rent free in my head to this day

So they still use real bawls?

That you?

Yeah they still carry it. I pick one up for nostalgia purposes every now and then if I’m there

Whaaaat? You’re crazy. I mean there’s no way they could keep something that monumental under wraps like that.

I mean, imagine if say, a senator died. What would they do? Fake an injury? Pretend he was in the hospital and ask for privacy while he recovered? Pretend he’s fine and on the mend but refuse interviews because he needs space to recover? Tell journalists he’s working from home and working harder than anyone but refuse to go on camera? No, no way they could hide something like that. Not in this era of surveillance. Not possible.

I also loved him in The Color of Magic!

Don’t use google images then?

how does that even anatomically work?

Remember when malwarebytes was like… actually good and the go to for free anti virus?

Nice find

It’s fake. Here’s a politifact (yes, really) article about it. And here’s a breakdown of how this came to be

Please note that I’m not applying personal opinion to the matter, rather just trying to provide the directors own context because it is their own work.

Also JK Rowling is a hack.

Referring to this?

Yeah. People often try interpret creative works in unique ways that the author didn’t intend. Doesn’t make the experience and impact on the reader/viewer any less important.

Except:

Speaking with Them: Wachowski clarifies her previous comments, explaining that The Matrix was not intended to be a trans allegory when it was in production. While she acknowledges the movie’s strong trans themes, she says the ideas came about naturally, without intention on her or co-director Lana Wachowski’s part. Check out what Wachowski had to say below:

No, I didn’t [confirm The Matrix is a trans allegory].

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

Yeah, with all the decisions we made with that film, there’s just this burbling transness simmering below everything. So when I look back at the way that we cast those two parts, I can see how obvious it is that they’re one part in a lot of ways; that they’re two sides of the same coin. It’s not like these were conscious decisions, but more like we’re finding our way instinctively as these two closeted trans women. So all those things that your receptors are buzzing about are completely valid. When people say, “Oh, it’s a trans allegory,” it’s like, “Yeah… it is, but we weren’t like, Hey, let’s write a trans allegory.” That’s not how it started. We were like, “Hey, let’s write this action film,” and then we got our trans all over it. [laughs]
