I don’t know - it certainly seems like Inarritu was, in response to a question about it, critiquing *an entire genre of storytelling*, rather than, say, the specific RDJ’s ‘artist’s work’.... at an event celebrating Inarritu’s new movie which itself *specifically critiqued and tweaked that same entire genre of…

Imagine caring at all about a fucking MONARCH in the year 2022.

Tolkien wrote a new mythology

Assuming I get script approval, this weekend.
