Just got out of the public screening. Pretty much every time there was an animator credited at the ending a new wave of applause started. Great to see that volume of appreciation for stop motion

My FAQ, which includes questions like “am I transphobic?”, “am I in the Epstein files?”, and “do I have mold in my house?”, is prompting a lot of questions already answered by the FAQ.

What I like about the EW article is that it doesn't let her rep's lie stand, it lists several items to the contrary. More outlets could take a lesson from that.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post Marlow Stern (the interviewer): 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.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging. Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
