Blair Witch remains the single greatest moviegoing experience of my life, full stop.

If only British citizens had the first amendment to protect them!

And there you have it. A thoughtful critique of Taylor Swift’s work. It can be done! Not with “dur girls are stupid and like stupid things” or “Taylor isn’t important and doesn’t matter” or “this isn’t art”. Actually listening to the work and providing a nuanced response.

This looks great. Whether Shyamalan can execute remains another question — the man has killer hooks but is hit-or-miss on delivery. I am cautiously optimistic, frankly given Hartnett’s*  involvement even more so than Shyamalan’s.

I found the book Annihilation to be superior to the film, primarily because of the film’s ending.

This guy can only be alive at this point due to plot armor, I swear. 

Oh no, not the “your comment is simply much too long and complicated for me to understand” bit!

She’s talking about art Taylor Swift.

Ys, because nobody criticizes them. It’s not like there are whole huge swathes of the internet that routinely bitch and moan about Taylor Swift and how awful and ubiquitous they think she us. So brave! You must also be very impressed by the average incel.

I would amplify your point by noting that Courtney Love has more access to the music industry than the vast majority of women in the world. If she wants to simultaneously represent “a safe space for girls” and ALSO make music that meets her own standard for what is “interesting” in 2024, she should try her hand at…

Counterpoint: It’s sad to see someone who is thirsty for attention use the names of more famous, more successful people in their field to draw attention to themselves. Courtney Love could be famous for the music she makes, but that’s hard. Getting clicks for talking reckless about more famous people is easy.

Which part is true?

ain’t I a stinker? 

I say she’s sneering at it. Jean Mahfouz. This is my user name, the one that appears over the words “Why is that something to be sneered at?”, because I can read, both text and subtext. I hope this is helpful to you.  

Please point to the part of my comments in which I say she says a safe space for girls is a bad thing. She’s clearly inferring it, but if this is the game you want to play, sure.

Isn’t having a “safe space for girls” important? Why is that something to be sneered at?

I liked her. Her character anyway. It was fun and also empowering to see a physically strong woman who wasn’t built like some ballerina ninja waif but could actually hit like a MACK truck and IRL wreck most dudes. I was genuinely excited for Rangers of the Republic — I’m also big fan of Kim’s Convenience and was…

Ironically, reports state that she couldn’t keep her opinions to herself ON the job either.

I was in high school social studies class when the principal came on the PA to interrupt everyone’s classes to announce the verdict. It’s difficult to describe how fucking obsessed the nation was with this trial. The perfect storm of the birth of the 24 hour news cycle at a time when we could still have some kind of…

John Cena — Clearly has a sense of humor. Both in general and about himself. So all this “alpha” bullshit is gonna roll off him like water off a duck’s back. Well played.
