[One of them is becoming the Wachowski sister.](http://www.azcentral.com/ent/celeb/0430sexchange.html) I had heard that it was because of the freaky fetishes of one of the brothers that the S&M rave scene was in the third movie. ---

The Web site’s “Mornings at Seven” advertisement takes on a strange new dimension when placed right next to a story about a sex change. It’s as if the two people in the ad are trannies eagerly awaiting the addition of another member to their ranks! ---

What color pill do you take for that? Well, that’s one way to increase the number of powerful women in Hollywood… Seriously, though, good luck to her. ---

Maybe I’m just weird, but I found that scene to be one of the redeeming features of the third _Matrix_. Didn’t turn me on or anything, I just thought it was sort of cool. ---

I had to try a bunch of times to finally see the ad (which is [over here](http://www.azcentral.com/advert/phoenixtheatre/)). Definitely a weird contrast. :dubious:
