Back in the Matrix days, Andy and Larry Wachowski (above, with Cloud Atlas director Tom Tykwer), who direct their movies together, used to be known collectively as “The Wachowski Brothers.” Simple, memorable. But ever since Larry became Lana in 2002, and until only recently said nothing about her transgender status at all, we’ve been delicately, tentatively referring to them as “The Wachowski Siblings,” clumsily doing the best we can with our limited knowledge and unnecessarily gender-specific language. Well now, according to Andy’s introduction of Cloud Atlas at Fantastic Fest, they’ve got a new title:
“We were formerly the Wachowski Brothers. Now we’re Wachowski Starship.” – Andy W intro’ing CLOUD ATLAS #ff2012

Well I have nothing to add to that. “The Wachowski Starship” is badass, and I shall begin using it immediately. Definitely much better than “The Larry Wachowski Gender Explosion.”

I would hit all three of them just so I can say I nailed the Starship.
And yes that’s going on the business card. Surly Badger – Starship Banger
Looks like Bjork…I wonder if she sprung for the vocal chord option to match.
That is…an attractive woman.
/confused
That is an extremely convincing ugly woman. I bet the only thing that gives her away is the mangled vagina.
Andy is the one with the biggest tits.
Lana calls her pubes the Wachowski Landing Strip.
Multi-pass?!
+1
Meet me in Uncock.
Larry’s residual self-image leads me to believe he took the blue pill.
Not one Jefferson Airplane/Starship joke? I am disappoint.
I was repressing any Jefferson Starship jokes about We Built This City. But the cats out of the bag now. And this horrible reminder of everything bad with the 80′s is stuck in my head again.
Actually now that I’m thinking about it didn’t they appear on an early Star Wars TV show? Like a christmas special or something?
We built these titties, we built these titties on es-tro-gen
We built this movie.
We built this movie on cock and balls.
Perfect.
Not, we built this kitty, we built this kitty out of cock and balls?
We built this clitty, we built this clitty from cock and balls…
All together now for the chorus…
Grace Slick wouldn’t f*ck her with Bea Arthur’s dick.
or Jamie Lee Curtis’
Is it just me, or does Andy’s face have “I’d bang her” written all over it?
blah blah saves on monogrammed towels
Just make a good movie already.
hey moose, you’re a turd and fuck wad.
Haha, Andy got drunk and decided to show up the haters.
t for short, it’s just you. hey, your mom is calling you from upstairs. she’s saying get your stinky ass out of the basement.
Oooh, I’ve been tagged. I feel special.
Looks like a 4 Non Blondes reunion pic.
Lana W goes back on my probably would list, truckasaurus hands and all.
Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship. The stage was now set for the Alan Parsons Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.
The Wachowskicallits?
Question: If you have a gender change in the Matrix, is it real here?
I might be a starship trooper after five beta blockers, a fifth of cuttysark, and the will to do what the other man won’t
I feel shameful lust for Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows! Oy!
Yeah, Lana’s doing an Annette Benning/Adam Duritz/Avril Lavigne mash-up, and it’s really working for me.
