Too creepy. Glad I haven't seen the flix. I've heard Matrix is terrible too. Now we know why. A Sick Kinky Gross Person is the director.

Forgot to add, CLICK THE LINK for the PIC of Larry as Trannie, I didn't want to gross you all out.

Hollyweird.

Both Matrices were great, btw.

Bevare the big green dragon that sits on the doorstep!

"Sporting dangly earrings and a knitted cap, he was accompanied by 36-year-old Karin Winslow - a well-known sado-masochistic dominatrix, who had just left her trans-sexual husband and taken on Wachowski as her "slave"."

If true, here is Exhibit A as to why Hollywierd needs to be pout out of business. The dementia of the producers. writers and actors inevitably bleeds through into what they produce, write and act in. That in turn has had and will conitnue to have an increasingly detrimental effect on society.

It is shameful that this puke is what America exports to the world.

Both Matrix movies were really good. Just saw Reloaded again yesterday. Really enjoyed it even though I went to a morning showing and the theatre was full of kids.

Reads like a Penthouse letter.

This certainly makes, "whiskey for me and beer for my horses" seem tame.

Just saw Matrix II--It was about a half-hour too long. Every fight and chase sequence was beautifully done, but also way overdone and way too long. And I can't take my kids to it, though they watched the first version. What was the deal with that huge dance sequence that went on forever? Like, so boring.

And all that silly philobabble.

[spodefly]

This whole story falls into the 'things I could do without knowing' category.

I appreciate the contribution that the Wachowski brothers have made to film making. The craft and artistry represented in the Matrix movies is truly superlative. I'm never surprised to find eccentricities in talented, driven people. Stories of adultery, freaky fetish sex, and high-profile litigation don't especially enhance the thought provoking nature of the films, but it ultimately doesn't matter one way or the other.

Since Larry isn't taking my kids out on Scouting missions, nor occupying a position of political or corporate responsibility, what he does in his bedroom, while kooky, doesn't matter.

Sick kinky gross people can direct great films, write great poetry, compose great music.

(I think Chaucer made that point in the Canterbury Tales. Or maybe you remember Amadeus?)

They're still sick, kinky, gross people. But if you want to track the facts you might consider a more fine grained approach to you evaluation of people.

Kind regards,

I lament that a sanctified covenent between man and wife has been breached in this way.

But maybe there's a lesson here. I've never been married and I'm too young to think about it seriously, and I take it you are married, so I offer the following observation with some humility.

But it seems to me that If one wants to do everything possible to make a marriage (or any intimate relationship) work, one has to make it safe for one's partner to talk about their deepest, kinkiest, wildest sexual desires and fantasies. People aren't often good at even KNOWING these things, so it's not as easy as saying "hey, you can tell me". One has to probe, experiment, be open and emotionally available, and always, always, always, communicate.

It sounds easier than it is, especially when we're talking about non-vanilla sex. But it might make the marriage better, and it would certainly make the sex much better.

Maybe if his wife had brought the kink out of him, they'd still be together, maybe even feeling a deeper emotional bond by having shared these sorts of deep, dark, scary desires with each other.

All I can say is, I've had kinky friends in my life (there are all kinds of ways to be kinky) and I've been richly rewarded for having understood them and having shared that understanding with them.

Peace,

It's interesting that Matrix I had Judeo-Christian underpinnings, i.e. Trinity, Zion, love gives rebirth, etc.

However, Matrix II is dark, pagan and depressing.

We should remember there are forces in the entertainment industry, as elsewhere, who benefit from destroying people publicly as well as obliterating any lingering trace of morality.

Mike Ovitz said the gay mafia was out to get him, his wife and his children.

I believe him. It happens daily, and nowhere more successfully than in Hollywood.

Pod People live, and they're often dressed in lavender.

Sniff! One of the great love triangles of our time. And who says Romance is dead?
