That, or Spotify threatened to rip that huge contract up and send him packing if he didn’t walk that back immediately.

Which, yes, is shitty for implying that being trans is low-key “savage” as a comparison point for the savagery of a serial killer, but considering when it was written and considering the dude who’s saying this is a friggin cannibal we can take that with fava beans and a nice Chianti a grain of salt.

Chapter 9

Yeah, it’s just that most people wouldn’t even know or care what sort of opinions their favorite author for 20+ years ago might have.

During the time Diane was on the show she would say Norman after everyone said Norm. People seem to forget that part when they mention it.

Harry Potter is a better name for a detective and Cormoran Strike should have been the boy who lived.

Hey, Harry and Ron didn’t have to dress up to sneak into the bathroom...

And I’d like to remind people that even in Psycho, Norman Bates is not portrayed as transgender, nor is his transvestitism based on gender identification, nor does he crossdress in order to access women’s bathrooms. He owns the motel. He already has the keys.

Why indeed.

No, I agree with you. I enjoy stories where “my” good guys identities are used as covers or tools for bad guys. I like the fact that Dirty Harry’s Scorpio is donning a peace symbol, or that Escape From LA’s baddie is dressed up as some Che Guevara. I like James Ellroy protagonists who don’t magically escape the 50's…

Chapter 3

Yeah, Lucas made a couple of crummy movies, but by all accounts seems like a decent guy. Might be time to reevaluate how we morally judge our favorite content creators.

I look forward to your link to the fanfic rewrite of this novel, which sounds way more interesting than the actual novel.

Sounds like she dove right into the culture wars of the 21st century... by borrowing the plot of a 1980 Brian DePalma movie... for a novel about a detective named “Cormoran Strike.”

The only people who knew Ronald Dahl was an asshole were the people who personally interacted with him or had correspondence with him.

Can she just sell Harry Potter to Disney or someone so we can enjoy that universe, but ignore her like we ignore George Lucas whose greatest offenses include the dialogue in the Star Wars prequels and Howard the Duck, but doesn’t seem to be like an actual asshole or anything?

Or, hear me out, it’s okay to like things that influenced you as a kid and it’s okay to be bummed out when the author is revealed to be a bigot.

Sounds like this Robert Galibraith fellow has gotten himself into hot water once again!

Andy Warhol’s The Godfather Part III.

And oddly, missed in this article, Coppola is adding a robot back into this cut.
