I wonder if the recent release of In a Violent Nature affected A24's thinking about the material. I have to assume that the show would be taking a more Voorhees-centric view of the story since that’s where the lore necessary for a long-term narrative is located.

As a Flopper I keep intending to read that and then immediately forgetting.

I think an important bit of context here is that he wasn’t always “dumped”. He *chose* to exit from several of those projects.

I don’t love zombified IP, even if Jason is kind of a zombie himself. That said, I trust Fuller to have had a better idea than anyone else. Hannibal is amazing and my favorite version of Harris’ work. I think IF the show had been allowed to adapt Silence of the Lambs I would have preferred it over the incredible film.…

Fuck me, this is amazing. I gave a star but you deserve more than that.

I would say to those people no, it doesn’t accomplish the same thing. And as a moviegoer, nay a cinephile!, I resent the shit out of having to endure someone’s therapy session. I didn’t sign up for that. I’ve known filmmakers to do this and I always find the end result a frustrating waste of my time. Richard Kelly…

It can be a natural, zesty enterprise.

I like it a lot, too. And I tend to like Norton’s stuff generally, which I know he often has a hand in rewriting. I don’t love how pushy he is about having creative control but I can’t argue with the results. To this day I think people are too quick to love up on the Ruffalo MCU Hulk. Norton’s Hulk and Banner have…

I agree with all of that and I’ll add that something I really enjoy about the film is that *although* The Dude is an unwitting and reluctant PI character who constantly gets distracted, his motivations STILL drive the plot forward. Like... I didn’t want to push back too hard on the idea that he’s shuffled through the…

Obviously YMMV, but from the perspective of a screenwriter with a deep and abiding interest in narratology and oral tradition in storytelling I fucking LOOOOOVE this movie. I saw it in theaters three times. For the year I watched it it briefly outshone my number one all time favorite Evil Dead II. I love that it’s a…

You end the first paragraph with one of the most ridiculous and misunderstood and overused examples of what some people consider “reasonable” that absolutely is NOT: athletics. If the concern is about an even playing field between athletes then you can’t JUST take testosterone levels into account (and even if you DO…

Twenty thousand mostly fucking aggravating posts later and this feels like the best response.

First, it’s sort of ironic that you bring up her shitty little snark that started the ball rolling. Because for as hard as she has gone in against trans women out of supposed concern for women only spaces that initial snark was in blatant disregard for the existence of trans men. Who can menstruate. Setting aside for…

I think you covered that pretty well. Not that they’d even remotely concede a tiny bit of it.

Oh, you little stinker! Look at how you cleverly turned that around on me!

Ah. Here we go. Here’s why this thread exists.

The problem comes when dipshits like this guy use what I would consider a reasonable logistical argument about something like incarceration and then applies it to EVERYTHING tangentially. So because there’s a *minor* chance that a *criminal* who identifies as trans *might* sexually assault (or even consensually…

You can conflate transgender identity and a proclivity for rape all you like, it’s not true. It’s just an obsession for JoJo and weirdos like you.

And yet evidence-based public health organizations in the U.S. support gender-affirming healthcare. Cuh-razy!

Exactly. This is largely why I say it’s mixed feelings. Because I’m aware that I may be misreading things. And/or that I may have some neurodivergent tendencies myself! I suppose it depends on how we define it. I know that traditionally depression and anxiety are not considered a neurodivergence but there is…
