I always forget how delightful his cantankerousness is. His distaste for comics is rooted in exactly the same thing as his famous comic writing - obsession with comics and what they mean, and also in amusing turns of phrase. 

oh you very much should feel a part of it, his recognizing of negative things in himself do not exonerates you in any way.

I thought Lindelof missed the whole point of the book. Should’ve just told an original story focusing on what he brought to the table instead of playing with Alan’s toys.

Surely the press could ask him about his actual work. 

Why contact in the first place? He doesn't have to be civil especially when he made it abundantly clear he doesn't wish to be bothered. Maybe don't be a fuck head

I mean, it’s only natural to change your opinions on things or tastes over time. Especially to grow disillusioned with stuff you once loved. You can see it now outside of Moore with people who talk about getting “superhero fatigue” from the MCU’s constant releases. Most authors are their own harshest critics. You put…

Eh. Mulaney is not under the level of tabloid scrutiny as Wilde but since all of that happened with him I have not seen his name come up on twitter or an article with an open comment section published about him that was not swarmed with people acting as if they were wronged parties in his divorce. Celebrity culture is…

“it seems like not a day has gone by where we’ve been granted one moment’s peace from reading about Olivia Wilde—especially on Twitter.”

The end of Last Argument of Kings was jaw dropping. I often re-read just the last few chapters.

You know damn well that next book ain’t ever coming

I think what we have here is a timeline of what is considered unacceptable behaviour towards women, evolving past Chase-level behaviour in the 70s, and past Murray-level behaviour in the 80s.

Earned? Don’t know about that.

I used the wrong word - I’m not an English native and wrongfully assumed “fracas” means roughly the same as “kerfuffle”.

There’s an entire dying pop news industry that relies on manufacturing outrage and making sure only the inflammatory headline sticks. We’re sitting on one of those comatose entities right now.

It might help if media outlets would stop picking at the scab anytime Scorsese said anything about anything.

It’s by definition assault, but I won’t rule out the possibility of that dude being emotional manipulative and using that to his advantage it’ll grant him leverage in the divorce to paint her as unstable and make all his shitty behavior seem justifiable. Unfortunate if she was made emotionally overwrought enough to…

Yes you do.

Yes you do!!!!

It’s not right to put your hands on anyone and it absolutely is assault. It doesn’t matter if it’s a woman doing it to a man.
