THE MATRON--RELOADED:
'Matrix' co-creator ready for sex change (azcentral.com, April 30, 2004)
According to the Chicago Sun Times, [Larry] Wachowski, who created the Matrix series along with his brother Andy, is working toward becoming "Linda," surgically and otherwise. [...]When Thea Bloom, Larry's former wife, accused Wachowski of being "extremely dishonest with me in our personal life," blaming the separation on "very intimate circumstances concerning which I do not elaborate at this time for the reasons of his personal privacy," a sex change wasn't the first thing to come to mind. But those close to Larry relate the he has been "living and dressing as a woman for some time."
He should pay a price for lousing up the sequels to the Matrix, but this might be excessive. George Lucas should be the one losing his johnson. Posted by Orrin Judd at May 5, 2004 10:31 PM
Well, he didn't put much femininity in his movie.

Posted by: pchuck at May 6, 2004 10:16 AMIt is its own punishment. And George Lucas should be surgically altered into JarJar Binks.
Posted by: Robert Schwartz at May 7, 2004 12:09 AMI work in the film industry and have a good friend who is was a PA to Lucas' producer, Jerry whatsisname. Anyway, the stories she told me of the sycophancy and delusion in the cadres of hangers-on and yes-men who cocoon Lucas made it very obvious why Phantom Menace was made- Lucas had literally no one around who could tell him his script was garbage. They all like their 6-figure salaries way too much for that and those spit level mansions up in the Hollywood hills don't pay for themselves you know.
It's his own fault.
