hate how you canât criticise harry potter without someone going âwell actually it doesnât need to be poorly written for you to hate rowling, youâre not better for disliking hp, wonât you think of the betrayal millennials are experiencing??â like bruv i just think itâs stupid to name Token Asian Character cho chang.
Fuck harry potter and J.K. Rowling.
Wish people, esp White people including White women and White queer people, would stop worshipping Dolly Parton and recognize her for the centrist liberal she really is đđ
Behold the dumbest article I've read about Dolly Parton being "cancelled"
I think it's just so fucking bizarre that Parton's ability to be apolitical and likeable to every-fucking-one is a trait to be praised?? For someone as established and wealthy as her, it's cowardice.
I don't even hate Dolly Parton, as a Singaporean Gen Z adult, I did not grow up with her. What I hate is the mythmaking surrounding her and the reluctance to be critical of her becos that would destroy the myth.
Even if she hasn't worked with transphobes like Kid Rock and defending doing so, along with complaining about how cancel culture is bad, she's still a hardcore capitalist using herself as a brand. Anyways, here's a list of critical articles on the lady herself:
Dolly Parton is all about love, but by singing with the hateful Kid Rock, sheâs shown us how much love she has for us.
âDolly Partonâs America,â as conceived in the liberal imagination, is a fantasy.
Asking difficult questions often comes at a cost.
The curious appeal of the country legend in a divided nation
Younger sibling says singer should use her position to speak out about abuse in the country and western music industry
Dolly is the living legend who sells out arena tours in her 70s. Sheâs the songwriting genius who wrote âJoleneâ and âI Will Always Love You
And I know it's difficult to criticise someone as outwardly lovable as Dolly Parton, I remember being charmed by her guest spot in Hannah Montana as a child. But, in the rush to find heroes, please remember that you don't actually know Dolly Parton.
Hot take, the CNN article gets dumber once we hit a 2nd Trump presidency and Kid fucking Rock is performing at his inauguration. She's a White woman with a fuckton of money who gave a bigot a platform and financial opportunity. You don't really know Dolly Parton, stop idolising her and start seeing her as a human being. Her apoliticism is a part of her branding and her privilege.
this is a negative review of Frankenstein (2025). It is for my fellow homies who also aren't big Guillermo del Toro film fans despite the cool things he says during interviews. If you loved the film, just skip this post
Milquetoast, defanged Frankenstein with a script written for idiots immune to nuance. Like a SparkNotes, after-school-special'd version of the story.
Imagine thinking what you need to change about Frankenstein is that Victor needs to be more obviously evil and the monster needs to be only ever kind, only ever reactive, entirely morally pure. When of course the tragedy of the story is that the evil of our world does touch him, it does enter his bones and his soul and change him despite the great potential he was born with. We feel for the monster, and that's what makes us ache as we see him become monstrous.
Imagine thinking you need the characters to literally tell Victor that he is the monster, to call him the father to a son, etc.
Imagine taking the everlasting tragedy of the eternal arctic chase and turning it into a saccharine, half-hearted reconciliation (where Victor still doesn't give his creation a name, mind you, only asks for his creation to say his own name to him again). The chase is one of the most haunting endings of all time and del Toro has it end with a bunch of random sailors sailing home, their captain somehow redeemed by this story he just listened to đ
Imagine thinking that what Frankenstein really needs is an hour of explaining to the audience precisely how Victor funded and supplied and constructed the machinery to make his creation possible. Like Victor's youth and hubris and isolation and the fact that he was just kind of armed with some outdated books on alchemy, a roll of duct tape, and cadavers is part of the point. It's a little bit magical, it's mythic. I don't need scenes where Victor's benefactor talks about finances.
Imagine a trailer telling us this is the monster's tale when the monster gets less than an hour to explain his pov in a 2.5-hour long movie.
Imagine, as del Toro so often does, that making something literally more explosive means you've somehow adapted it into the present day, that an adaptation just means slapping a Hollywood special effects budget over an already impactful story. It's such a puerile vision tbh.
Like of all the things you'd focus on and change, that's what he chose? And imagine thinking women have that little to contribute to the narrative btw. Smh.
This movie was such weak sauce compared to the book or the Benedict Cumberbatch/Jonny Lee Miller version.
the other day I mentioned Rowling's recent horrendous acts to my grandma (I was hanging out with her and it came up on my phone) and y'all know what she said?
she said, paraphrasing: "you know, I read all those books, and I really liked them. I watched all those movies and I really liked them. but a couple days ago I found those movies on (whatever channel) and tried to watch them, but I couldn't get into it. thinking about that woman, I just couldn't. I felt sick"
my 69yo grandmother understands it better than a lot of y'all do
jkr is literally posting upskirt photos to her social media. when will it finally get through to harry potter fans that their support makes her feel confident and correct enough to do things like this
So I'm never eating at Tim Horton's again.
Victor Frankenstein is a hilarious character because in every almost adaptation he's a crusty middle aged egomaniac in a castle but in the actual book he's the floppiest wettest grad student you'll ever meet.
my man Victor's not 'spitting in the face of God' so much as he's 23 and grieving his mom and not eating or sleeping because he's hyperfixated on figuring out if he can revive his mom sewing corpse parts together. and when he succeeds he, as we all know, does not manically laugh but rather immediately panics and falls into a dissociative fugue followed by a delirous fever state and needs to be tenderly nursed back to health for MONTHS by his definitely heterosexual best friend.
It's been nearly two months since I finished reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and I'm still not over it
I seriously think I'll never be able to watch anything with the Creature in it again/at all
FUCK JOHNNY DEPP.
Ian McKellen praised Johnny Depp's performance in the upcoming 'Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol,' which marks Depp's first major Hollywood role
And fuck Ian McKellen (I won't call him Sir), and Daisy Ridley, and Rupert Grint, and every other person who signed on to this shit show or is working to promote this... not film, this vanity piece, no this attempt to resurrect the corpse of a r*pist's career and parade it around as further proof that rich men own women and our society cheers it.
Because that's what this is about. That's ALL this is about.
Let's say you don't care about Amber Heard. Let's say you think she's a lying "gold digger," even though she accepted less money from him in the divorce than she was entitled to under California law. Let's say, even, that you believe it was all a vast feminist conspiracy to frame poor helpless innocent rich powerful men, until seven jurors miraculously saw through it (but not multiple UK judges). Or maybe you just think she "deserved it," as though anyone could ever deserve that.
He's still a raging bigot. He's still a racist and misogynist and biphobe and transphobe. He's still the guy who went shopping for Hitler memorabilia with Marilyn Manson and played a Native American in brownface, and promised to buy Wounded Knee for Native Americans and never did. He's still the man with a lifetime of assault allegations, and friends with the journalist bone-sawing, war criminal dictator of Saudi Arabia- insofar as such people even have friends, though "asset" is likely a more accurate term.
And, he's still the guy who hasn't had a really notable film success in over a decade. He's a washed-up, notorious unprofessional has-been.
So why, WHY are all these big names signing on, why is so much money being spent, AGAIN, to try to astroturf a comeback for this loser?
And the answer is simple.
Because its not about him.
Its not about his career, or his acting, or his fans, or even the money.
Its about what he represents.
Its about proving that a man-especially a rich, celebrity man-can be exposed for r*ping, beating, and strangling his wife in the most public possible way, can then raise a global hate mob against her and destroy her career, and still be held up and idolized in the public eye.
Not despite what he did, but because of it.
I usually save my protests for Tr*mp. But when this premiers, I will be picketing the theatre. And I will donate the cost of a ticket to a charity for abuse survivors.
I suggest others do likewise.
Terrible news: Johnny "Wife Beater" Depp is trying to make his big comeback in a movie that appears to be attempting to make Ebenezer Scrooge a sympathetic character
Daisy Ridley, Ian McKellan, Rupert Grint, Sam Claflin, and Tramell Tillman are also slated to star
Better news: this article about it in The Guardian is very validating
Reminder that J0hnny D3pp is a washed up wifebeater who deserves his dick to be cut off.
the entirety of star wars is just making shit up as it goes on
VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN MIGHT SUCK BUT HE IS NOT THE VILLAIN OF FRANKENSTEIN SOMETIMES THE MONSTER IS THE REAL MONSTER AND THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT AND YOU IDIOTS CANT FUCKING READ AND YOU WONT SURVIVE THE WINTER. GDT IS LYING TO YOU THE TALL GUY DOESNT LOVE DEERS WHAT HE LOVES IS PETTY REVENGE SCHEMES AND DEVILS. FOR FUCKS SAKE HE STRANGLES A TODDLER
As much as I wholeheartedly dislike the âVictor versus Creatureâ readings as I believe them to be reductive toward the actual nuanced intentions of the text and what the monster really represents, people who do approach the text that way and then walk away loving the creature and hating Victor perplex me so deeply.
19 year old who gave birth irresponsibility in uni and suffered a post-natal psychotic collapse making him physically incapable of caring for his child, versus serial killer attempted kidnapper and child murderer misogynist, who wins?
"Bomb that kills all X," "bomb that kills all Y," how about a bomb that kills all fuckers who had a "Nazi phase," and especially the ones who are still Nazis (aka, 99.9% of shitheads who "used to" believe in Nazism)
âyour childhoodâ is ruining someone elseâs future btw
