He’s at a stage in his career where people are going to fund pretty much everything he puts out. There are plenty of people who were worse off than Tarantino who still don’t get to make art. It’s notoriously difficult. Just having your art be popular and having people love it and discuss it and criticize it is a utter…

Not really. The VMAs is simply about awarding the most popular videos. Complaining about being overlooked for an award isn’t the same thing as making a movie about slavery and then saying black critics are being unfair towards it.

Not really - the success of an artist automatically leads to a wider group of critics and viewpoints. The artists need to be prepared to handle all of it, other than something that is unprofessional, of course. And you need to try harder at your troll game, brother. Saying that one deserves an award is a different…

Yep, totally agree.

Exploring the lives of characters is what movies tend to do, see? And movies about the Holocaust and the Antebellum South tend to explore the characters set in those times, you feel me? Using terrible tragedies to make pastiche films usually doesn’t make for good art, especially when it’s cold and distant unlike the…

You didn’t miss anything, that was my mistake and it was too late to edit lol. But my point still stands. Successful filmmakers who complain about valid criticism need to shut the fuck up.

Reginald is chill, but combined with Chad? Come on.

lol the ex-fiance, right? I didn’t realize that was his last name up till now, and I can’t stop laughing

Oh my god, I noticed this too! I was reading her memoir, which is amazing, and I went on Goodreads to check out what other people had to say about it, and instead of something constructive or valid, most of the one star reviews were from fanboys who were trying to butcher her character because an author they like who…

Infinite Jest was so annoying. I’ve had so many Literary Bros talk down to me just because I didn’t like it.

Uh...this probably has something to do with insurance claims, right? RIGHT?

i cannot imagine either but it would FEEL delightful. i’m so tired of all the hype around her mediocrity

ooh my bad

He’s just basically exploiting some of humanity’s bleakest tragedies and playing it up with some cool shots and witty banter, without considering the moral complexities of the tragedy.

Yeah I know right. But mostly I only care about T-Swift’s PR downfall. The outcome of the Breakup anthem-off, which, let’s face it -Taylor will slay the hell out of- doesn’t bother me

I’m with you on Pynchon but I loved DFW’s short stories a ton. Infinite Jest is annoying though. Fanboys who condescend to you bc you don’t like Pynchon or DFW are the WORST. They’re the book versions of Breaking Bad/GoT/Nolan Fanboys.

Tarantino brings out them white fanboys in spades lol. Thank god for the Dismiss button.

maybe if the middle name was Chad or Reginald it could be whiter. otherwise no.

Bret Easton Ellis, Charles Bukowski and Jonathan Franzen. If your man’s favourite writer is more than one of the aforementioned Male Demons, you need to take a hard look at the choices you’ve made and the paths you’ve taken.
