I mean, I did consider more, but I thought it was funnier with just one

Where!!

Oh they are SO far along

I think they’re like Komodo dragons and they just throw up whatever they don’t digest

all anyone wants to know is “how do Medusa snakes poop”, not “how are the Medusa snakes, are they doing okay”

yes!

listen to Trevor

waiting for the first “hope she sees this, bro”. I know it’s coming

anyway I’ve heard worse things in college town halls aimed at the people who literally sign the paychecks. she practically wrote a love letter compared to those. and he didn’t even give her money

burn the witch!!

this is not about whether her review was correct; I haven’t seen the movie; I can’t opine on that this is about the bizarre perception among some people that she needs to be quiet because the movie sold books for her, as if it were a commercial she paid for and is honor-bound to support

especially illegal to have them about MOVIES

I believe he has mentioned her translation admiringly in interviews; I don’t know if that’s true because I refuse to listen to him speak but that doesn’t set up any professional obligations. she can still write a negative review of the movie.

people want to read the odyssey; hers is famous and easily available, and it was also selling quite well before the movie was even a gleam in Nolan’s eye she doesn’t owe him anything. she can say what she wants

he didn’t make the movie for her. afaik she wasn’t involved; he was just inspired by her translation. she has even come to the defense of some of the screenwriting choices, like the modern language that has sounded jarring to some viewers (e.g. “dad”) but that’s all

THIS IS NOT ME WEIGHING IN ON WILSON V. NOLAN that being said a couple times now I’ve seen it hinted or outright said that it’s ungrateful of her to write a negative review of the movie because it helped her sell books but like: she doesn’t owe him anything. what are we even doing here

i will return to discussion of the only text that matters to me. (moby dick).

Aw thank you! I was gonna say strew ducats in my path but this works too

I promise I’m fun until you get me talking about unpaid labor!
