different specifics in my own version of this but they come out to the same thing: my sentences are only gonna get longer and weirder and there’s not a thing you can do about it. if the long sentence has one defender, it’s me; if the long sentence has no defenders, I have passed from this earth

motherfucker I am French and I mostly read 20th century European fiction; my sentences are going to keep running on and on and on and there's nothing any of you or indeed any of us can do about it

“Ultimately, Magic Mike XXL isn’t a hero’s journey, because it doesn’t believe in heroes... Instead of heroes, sexy dancing. Instead of telling the story of why the king is the king, sexy dancing” How have we had weeks of Odyssey discourse without citing this @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social banger?

The Bone Temple is good but a little uneven in tone (although Ralph Fiennes was clearly having the time of his life as Old Nick). I've seen 28 Years Later threes times though it had bawling like a child every time.

reposting this an additional time bc I feel so strongly about it, Women and Other Monsters is a spectacular book and the best thing that could possibly come out of this little cultural moment around Greek mythology would be for it to become the phenomenon it’s always deserved to be

I can’t believe it took me this long into the Odyssey discourse to think to post this but… if you loved the Sirens and Scylla and Charybdis and you also love stuff Elon Musk would consider too woke, have I got a book for you

Every season, five new Number Sixes doing battle with a domineering but charming Number Two and his faithful lackey. Every attempt more ridiculous than the last and all of it on camera.

we’ve been alternating between watching The Prisoner and rewatching Taskmaster and tonight Thomas pointed out that Taskmaster is basically a reality tv adaptation of The Prisoner and I don’t think I’m ever going to be the same after this realization
