When I was a stupid college kid, a film professor of mine had us watch this little indy movie called "Bound." It's about a lesbian convict who gets out of prison, meets a mob wife, and then they set up an elaborate ruse to steal money from the mob. Of course, things go wrong and hilarity ensues.
There's certainly a "girl power" element to the film, but I was awashed in college at the time and didn't really pay attention or care about it.
So like 4 years ago, I decide to show the film to my friends who had never seen it.
I was horrified.
Not only does the film not hold up well at all, but there's a close up of Joe Pantoliano's face telling the ex-convict dyke that she's a worthless dyke. Knowing 4 years ago how the Wachowskis turned out, it's almost like they put that in there to MKULTRA people or something.
Also, they apparently stole the plot of The Matrix from a black woman.

This helps explain why first The Matrix was good, and the latter two were awful.
