The Matrix is one of those movies where, no matter what either of the Wachowskis does after, there is literally no arguing that they are master filmmakers. The Matrix is, imho, one of the greatest movies ever made.
And to follow that up with V for Vendetta and Cloud Atlas... Honestly, the Wachowskis are probably my favorite people in Hollywood.
Also, controversial opinion, but Speed Racer was great.
unrelated, but it's astounding that it was simply too much effort to add "photo by" in front of christa holka's name under the photo, so that someone like me, who doesn't know any of these people, but unlike me, and doesn't look up the name, wouldn't think that's a photo of christa holka
You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.”
Lol that's great
We have this project with Abigail Thorn, an actor and philosopher who had this YouTube channel called PhilosophyTube. She was also amazing in “House of the Dragon,” where she played a pirate. She has a thing called “Billionaire Killers” that we’re excited about. It’s a post-apocalyptic story where all these billionaires are in these bunkers and they’ve got to dig ‘em out of these bunkers.
Omg that sounds amazing
You’ve got to hand it to Christopher Nolan for casting Elliot in the first place. That right there is the definition of allyship, and the fact that Christopher Nolan is going out there and talking up Elliot about how awesome he was to work with speaks volumes about him as a human being. But who is following suit in the industry? There are people out there who have the power to cast trans actors, but what the fuck are they doing? Are they so inured with the system that they’re burying their heads in it? Seems like it.
Oh hell yeah! Her works are really hit or miss, but it's awesome that she's working towards getting more marginalized stories on screen, especially with how hard it's been for her to get her own stories made anymore.
Also as a syndicalist I'm always happy to see worker owned ventures be started
You’ve discussed how incredibly difficult it was to get $10 million to finance “The Hunted,” an action film with an all-trans cast
Wait. I just torrented this.
It wasn't an action film. It was some Nordic film.
Shit, must have been the wrong movie :(
Edit: yeah, this isn't the rad film I wanted to see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_(2012_film)
So, when Showtime turned around and canceled the show even though it was so critically acclaimed and really made for peanuts, it lit a fire under me.
I mean, sure, but isn't that SOP now for networks and even big studios? It doesn't matter if the show is good or not, has huge fan followings, or has been requested for years. They turn and burn to the next big idea. Maybe this time it was about the topic and actors, but it could be just what they do now to everyone.
I no longer buy HP sauce. /s Speed Racer was great!
Goddamnit. You can't win support when you blanket a group of people saying part of their identity is supporting evil. Like, this is QUITE LITERALLY what human rights activists fight against. Don't use your hurt to villify those who COULD understand you.
My son, an elementary schooler, loves the Harry Potter books. He's finishing the last one. I like the story, i thought it was cute as a kid too. We'd consider ourselves Harry Potter fans.
Guess how much Ive spent on Harry Potter stuff since I was a kid? $0. Guess how much I plan to spend? $0.
This isn't hard people.
Edit: based on the couple of responses I got, Im going to go out on a limb here and suspect there's a lot of people that struggle with splitting here.
Just came here to post about this, so I’ll share my article here:
