everyone is trying to take your oxford comma away from you. don't give them that satisfaction, reward, or pleasure.

i love you adaptations that change stuff i love you stories that evolve across millennia i love you screenwriters who can draw out new meanings alongside ancient ones i love you retellings and modern versions and faithfulness to the old and openness to the new i love you things that start discussion about media and storytelling and art i love you alterations and harmonies and tailored details and i love you movies that make ancient stories feel new

some of y'all just want a book report on a nearly 3,000 year old story and some of us want to see a man's personal interpretation of one of the oldest written stories we still have even if it's flawed

last semester i was in a seminar full of pretentious assholes where the professor pulled up emily wilson's odyssey to compare it side-by-side to alexander pope's and laugh at how pedestrian and dumbed-down hers was. this is how a lot of you guys sound talking about the movie

they did get me with the bow pluck sounding like a lyre. a lot else failed but they did in fact get me with the bow pluck sounding like a lyre

one of my favorite types of content is people who analyse low brow media with the same seriousness with which one generally uses to analyse artsy/prestige media. not cynicism, no mockery, no acting like they're above it, even if they think its bad. everything has themes even when not intended to be there, everything says something about the context in which it was made even if its not trying to, and sometimes the lack of depth betrays a different type of depth in what the media does not realize that its saying much more than the little that its saying on purpose. even if the craft is bad.
