"I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script."

Which adds snobbiness and self-agrandizement to her put-down of Nolan.

Did I say she should lie? There's slso a we world of difference between saying you don't like someone's film and saying that person should be ashamed of their art.

Age gap shaming is truly one of the dumbest cultural developments of this generation. Sex between two consenting adults is never shameful.

The one thing that ruined Star Wars is that it went from being a bunch of movies everyone saw and debated, to a ton of fan-fiction no one can talk about since so few if us watch the same show. "Oh wow, that episode of Andor was amazing." "Yeah, I hear Andor is good, but I'm still on Mandalorian."

Yeah, I kept it under the character limit.

She didn't just say she didn't like the movie or that the movie had serious flaws. She said Nolan's writing was so bad it was shameful. That's what thrilled her fans and thrilled the Nolan-haters. As a scholar who specializes in the meanings of words, she absolutely knew what she was doing.

The responses to the piece have been both "YEAH! Strong Woman pokes Rich Man in eye! You go get him, girl! If anyone doesn't like it, it's because they hate women just like Nolan does!" and also so many bad faith versions of "whatsamatter? All I see is gentle, scholarly nuance." It's all so dumb.

After having read and liked the Emily Wilson Odyssey, and several of her reviews, I honestly did not expect her contribution to the Nolan discourse would be to dumb it down even further.

Saying you don't like the Nolan movie is one thing. But she said his writing was so bad it was shameful. It's really annoying to see this kind if gaslighting about what the review actually said.

Don't care. Lost interest years ago.

Nope, GWBush was still worse. Trump's MudEast death toll still isn't worse than Bush's carnage.

We are deep in silly season so that means people are pretending they don't know what an idiom is. Harkens back to when people pretended to be mad when Obama said "lipstick on a pig" during the 2008 race.

so much for billionaires fleeing because of zohran

I'm a supporter of boycotting Israel, and note that refusing to serve Israelis is increasingly popular worldwide. However, I think this discourtesy ought to be extended to Americans for the illegal war on Iran, support of Israel, extra-judicial killings and threats to Canada, Greenland and Cuba.

it's crazy that israel has just coordinated extreme, direct influence over US politics, and it isn't seen as foreign interference.

Like Beowulf in 2007? Or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in 2021? Or the Gesta Danorum in 2022? youtu.be/xW8CDkoY8vo?...

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.
