Honey, I’ll sure miss you.

Noah Baumbach made a movie about a disintegrating marriage??? Well, now I’ve seen everything.

Recency Bias: The Meme!

Boy, do I disagree with that take on it. One of the big themes of the book is that the God of this book a) works in mysterious ways, b) doesn’t offer the kind of of-this-Earth gratification you’d want for doing His work, and c) has a Plan and fuck you if you think it should be different. That the God portrayed here…

Hard disagree. I love the whole thing. 

RE: the ending...why? King’s take on God is one of the more interesting things about the story, to me, and the way in which it culminates fits perfectly.

A pox on the HMU person for this miniseries, though. It’s so hard to take Flagg seriously with that mullet. 

Out of curiosity...who do you think has the ability to be the charismatic quasi-Satan the role requires in such spades over this guy?

Yes, casting an Academy Award-winning actress who more or less fits the role in which she’s been cast perfectly is totally uninspired. 

Boy, did that set us all up for the massive disappointment that was the rest of the miniseries, though. Such a fantastic, cinematic opening...and then, such a turdburger of a remaining running time. 

Hoo, boy, did I make the horrible mistake of clicking through to YouTube page for this video and then, for some god-forsaken reason, scrolling down and reading the comments. I guess I just have blood spewing out of my eyes forever, now. 

This comment is 2019 in a nutshell. 

I have never gone as quickly from very interested in a film to not giving a plug nickel about whether I ever see it or not as I have with this movie. 

It’s just putting more negativity at the expense of other people out into the world. Feels like we could use a lot less of that. But, you do you. 

This town needs an Ænima.

I guess? Although, I think the spirit of Heller’s posts (and this article) is more denigratory, like, “Ha, ha, look at these weirdos!” Which, I dunno, strikes me as sorta mean-spirited. 

Yes - people who don’t care if Twitter or Kinja thinks they sound dumb, or not.

Yes, yes, let us all point and laugh!
