What are everyone’s thoughts on the Flanagan reboot?

I found most of it to be excellent, but was really disappointed with the

I think it was very well cast, especially Carrie and her mother and that psycho bitch.

When someone professes their love for reading, they’re insinuating that those who do not read are necessarily below them on the cognitive ladder.

At least that’s how my disdainful mind works.

Ah, but you forgot about the Death Star!

Do yall not get a printed paper ballot from the machine that you then review and turn in?

Obviously we have to account for the lowest common denominators; those who are so uncritical they would not review the printed ballot.

But still, it’s not like the machine is sending your votes in over the internet… right?!

The actual Nuremberg 1 was mostly pomp and circumstance anyways.

Is anyone else mortified by how such an obvious and blatant attention grab can so easily captivate the attention of literally every circle of the internet?

The Southern Reach trilogy isn’t given enough credit. Vander Meer does an amazing job explaining the unexplainable and his prose is pretty fucking beautiful, despite its modernity.

House of Leaves, which I’m in the middle of right now, is an all-consuming void and occupies my mind pretty much constantly. Which is cool, given the subject matter.

The first movie of the modern trilogy is mostly exposition and world building, and it does drag. The second movie builds off the foundation of the first in a glorious way; the stakes are felt and it is truly a cinematic masterpiece. Some of the shots in that film give me goosebumps just thinking about them.

As someone who loves Infinite Jest and enjoyed Brief Interviews, The Pale King didn’t do it for me.

You have flies in your eyes
