A niche literary review magazine asking a literary translator to comment on an adaptation of a work of literature is not "bizarre" or "a hit piece".

That literary translator talking about the thematic and character decisions in the adaptation, which is her area of expertise, and not the cinematography, which is not, does not mean the review has nothing insightful to say about the film.

That literary translator pointing out that, while the director likes to associate her name with his work - to the point that people think he is adapting her translation specifically - he is not actually engaging with any of the themes she cares about, is not "emotional and defensive".

There is no such thing as a perfect or complete review. They are opinion pieces. Each reviewer focuses on different things. This is fine and good and part of a healthy ecosystem of cultural journalism. Saying you think her review is stupid because you're "just a lowly film watcher, not a poem reader" and feel judged is... Wild? She's comparing the film to the poem in a magazine for which she covers ancient poetry! You are not the audience for this review if you don't care about its relationship to the poem.

I feel like I'm seeing a lot of people insulted that Wilson called Nolan's film a fun summer blockbuster rather than high art, but it has objectively been released to function as a summer blockbuster, and there's nothing wrong with admitting that? She's not calling viewers lowbrow for liking it, she's calling Nolan boring for taking out the weird uncomfortable bits of key characterisations in order to make his film more accessible.

it's such bs that the whole guilt-ridden stoic self-sacrificing martyr thing doesn't work outside of fiction. repressing all your emotions and neglecting your physical wellbeing should make you god's most tragically beautiful morally unassailable little soldier of righteousness but all it does is give you bad skin and gastrointestinal problems

like what do you MEAN the number 1 sexiest character trait of all time is just kind of offputting and bad for you in real life. next you'll tell me smoking has consequences other than looking like a mysterious badass

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names

wearing a shirt that says “even in an au fanfiction, the characters, relationships, or even the scenarios are recognizable in the best fanfic, and an au without ties to the source material may be a fine story but it’s not a good fanfiction” and booty shorts that say “I HATE FUN”

similar to pubwe, salt air is so intertwined with swiftie vocabulary that it has started to merge into one word in my mind……... I say it like ‘saltaire’ and I picture a Socrates/Plato esque ancient greek philosopher sitting under an olive tree…… like to mee this is Saltaire and he is theorizing on how your door rusted so quickly and the probability of calling when you’re back at school

If elected I will go back in time and prevent tvtropes trope names from becoming common knowledge and ruining every goddamn book synopsis for 5 consecutive years

if you advertise your book using ao3 tags instead of a synopsis you will be reborn as a hornworm directly in the line of sight of a flock of angry chickens for seven lifetimes
