in accordance with the latest imperial decree we are removing all men from sports. if you want to continue to play you must take the estrogen immidiately

to reiterate: it is not importnat if you internally.consider yourself a woman just that it is now a requirement of sports you perform femininity. the purpouse of this decree is simple: we are seeking to creste a system.of gender thatll baffle archeologists and create endless discourse about "okay but was tom brady really transfem?" in the year 3000

there is something perfectly intentional in the way flike managan does his adaptations. it's not like he's careless or stupid or just wants to cash in on name brand recognition. shirley jackson does not have name brand recognition, at least not among his target demographic. he's genuinely in conversation with the texts he adapts, and is making very specific choices, except these choices all live in service of redeeming the name of the nuclear biological family and making sad little tut tut noises at the big mean bigots.

sometimes if you're lucky he'll chuckle and say well yes my dear old mother is a bit racist. but really she's a loving wife so why does it matter. also people of colour are never depicted in his #1 artistic priority (loving marriages with children) but whoops don't look to closely into that!! isn't rahul kohli a smokeshow?

anyway this is why it pisses me off when people say "it's good if you watch his shows divorced from the original book!" because. well because they're still soppy, spineless, and only good for the vfx artists to flex their skills. but also it's not just an unrelated story. his adaptation work is bad because he specifically set out to remedy the paranoia of the source material with the power of church weddings and group therapy.

he has not sanded the edges off just for marketability's sake! i really believe that he has a keen and sincere artistic vision which is repelled by the disgusting shit that made henry james and shirley jackson's work so good. his work does not agree that there is violence in a caretaker's total authority. it does not tolerate ambiguity. it is obsessed with innocence and righteous suffering. incidentally, this taming of the screw makes his junk more marketable. but that's just a side effect! he is just a symptom! maybe i hate the environment that let him be successful and not the man himself! and also the monologues fucking suck.

despite my flapathy i am forced to acknowledge his new ventures once a year whenever this post picks up a modest few notes. anyway this year i'd like to recommend 'Turning the Screw of Interpretation' by Shoshana Felman, an incredible essay about the relevance of psychoanalysis to literary criticism. I recall the show making allusions to ideas touched on in this essay, but don't ask me where or how. I've since deleted all memory of his work.

but in light of the new adaptation (my condolences.) here's a section about ambiguity in Henry James's work:
