I wish.

That'd make sense.

 

[TheWatcher]

What was the reason?

 

[CConn]

He was into the bdsm sex scene.

Became a slave to some dominatrix, who then got him to divorce his wife and have a sex change in conglomeration with their D/s relationship.

Creepy as ****.

Wait what? I thought it was your typical gender identity crisis. She might've been joking.

Oh... That's uh...

 

[CConn]

That's the story as it was told by some celebrity news site years ago when word first got out that he was doing it.

Don't tell me it was one of the those tabloid gossip sites. Besides, the Wachowski's are infamously interview shy and were on a self imposed media exile until very recently. I highly doubt they could've extracted that sort of information so easily.

'Matrix' Director's Dominatrix Lover?
19 May 2003 | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Publicity-shy The Matrix Reloaded director Larry Wachowski left his wife of 15 years following an affair with a dominatrix. Larry, 37, appeared at the Cannes Festival premiere of Matrix Reloaded with 36-year-old blonde Karin Winslow last week. Wachowski - who writes and directs the hit movies with brother Andy Wachowski - is reported to have left his wife Thea after hiring Winslow's services, leaving her transsexual husband fuming. Jake Miller, estranged husband of Winslow, is now alleging in British newspaper The Mail On Sunday that Larry is a cross-dresser who ran off with his wife. He says, "He stole my wife from me and he crossed over the boundaries. I'm not saying I'm a saint, but I am telling the truth. Larry Wachowski is living a lie. He has been cross-dressing for years and everybody knows it. But in Hollywood, money talks. And if you are the director of a hit like The Matrix, you can get away with anything. I hope Larry is man enough to hear what I am saying and to come out and admit who - or what - he is. I want people to know the truth. When Larry walked down the red carpet with my wife, he was probably wearing a bra and panties under his suit."

I couldn't find the original article on Wenn, though.

It's more than that. The reason people are looking at the Marvel method is because it worked. Doing what they did was incredibly risky and it paid off. And if WB goes their route, it could work too. Both are risky, but Marvel has things WB doesn't have much of. People who know their ****.

The only thing that deters my confidence is their track record. I don't want to see a failed JL film before a failed Flash film you know?

After a JL film they all go their separate ways and their own worlds and don't have any contact. It's all reversal for Avengers. Story wise, it could work. Though I still prefer the characters themselves earning their own films and we get to focus on them. Flash, Wonder Woman and Aquaman aren't Han Solo where he was written as a supporting character and who didn't come from a pre-existing story who was indotruced as an individual to carry his own story. These are all major characters with big personalities in their separate stories. It's fair to develop them as themselves before they go teaming up with others. Because hey, they're not gonna have the whole film to themselves. So before we see them be mixed with other characters, we should see them on their own. I mean these characters aren't made to be just for a JL film first. They're more than that. It just looks like JL is more of a priority than their solo films. And obviously it looks that way, and it doesn't feel quite right.

It sounds strange thinking about it because Avengers seems like the logical method and we're used to it. But still, what would have happened if Marvel announced they were making a full blown Avengers film before their solo films?

But if it works for them, then it works for them. The key is to do it right. If it's right, then what I say won't matter.

I'm trying to think logical here: If their solo films succeed, that makes WB very confident in pursuing a JL film where it will make a lot of money. Instead of throwing everything in first and depending on that to kick start everything. Because if JL flops and fails, you can kiss the solo films bye bye and any money they can get from them. WB would take even more risks after a potential flop from JL? A studio? Why would they spend all that money on five different solo films after somethign like JL flops? It doesn't make much sense to me from a studio pespective. Story wise, of course it can work. It's just in terms of right now, it doesn't feel right with timing.

I'm not being narrow minded, I'm trying to be logical and trying to see both sides of the argument. I'd be the first person to be all for this idea if I felt right about it.

Indeed Dr, If WB can make a JL movie that is a hit without making movies about flash,WW etc, Then good for them. Honestly IMO, I think that WW and the Flash deserve their own movies they are Icons. I think they should test the waters like Marvel did, release Independent movies and if the movies turn out to be something good then follow suit. But if they put all there eggs in one basket and release a JL movie with no supporting movies and it ends up being Box Office Bomb like Green Lantern then WB is going to lose Credibility in the CBM department so to speak and it could end up being awhile before we see another Comic Movie from WB.

I'm so glad we live in a time where ladies' erotic fiction can dictate our social mores.

Why would that be surprising that a book can effect the social mores of today. Words and Ideas have the power to change world

Does a Dominatrix command anyone to divorce their wife and snip their funbits off in that book?

I was being sarcastic.

50 Shades hasn't done **** outside of your own mind.

Yet.

These choices get worse and worse. I thought the Town was boring, ponderous, and insipid, so Ben Affleck was 50/50 (only in that I have not seen Gone Baby Gone which might also be terrible). The Wachowskis ruined their only good original idea--though I guess Speed Racer was passable for what it was.

Next they will announce Michael Bay as the director.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Thaaat's not gonna happen.

Seriously? You'd class Affleck with Bay?

Spoiler

I see the irony that Affleck has starred in a couple of Bay's movies.

I don't see anything about the dominatrix ordering him to become a woman or leaving his wife. Maybe he had the urge to chop his balls off for a while, maybe (and because of that perhaps) his relationship with his wife was already in its tolerant limits.

Did you see the part that mentions she already had a transsexual husband?

I kinda doubt it's one big coincidence that she was into two men - totally devoted to her as "slaves" - who both happened to decide to become women without any input or promission from her.

LOL, not everything is done for some noble personal cause. Sometimes we're just crazy.

I saw a documentary on it the other day on BBC. They discussed a grey effect which has become global. In the BDSM sex toys like whips and chains have seen a boom in sales due to the grey effect. When the president of the united states is asked about a book, it's huge. That lifestyle is becoming more mainstream like being gay.

@highflying if you knew anything about the book you know the answer to that.

Oh, you saw a documentary, eh?

It's gotta be true then.

Yeah. Most people do know things about stuff they're knowledgeable about.
