“I think it’s a film that’s going to change some hearts and minds, and that feels really good,” he said backstage.
UGH! I guess moving from fear and disgust to pity and smug superiority is technically a change of heart and mind. BARF. Lindy said it much better and I am not really adding anything, but I am so pissed and sad today so I just needed to vent. How is he still so clueless?
Here for FL tour requests but: your articles on The Whale were brutal and poignant. Laughed, as always, but damn, can "prestige" drama find its way outta misery porn exploitation, ugh?! Now, on a fun note- happy for your shows, pretty please at some point c'mon down to Central Florida on your tour? Feminist comedy is a salve, we got a lot of crap to deal with here, much appreciated!❤️
Found my way here via the Guardian article, and your Butt News on The Whale made me a paid subscriber. Now doing a deep dive through the archives -- wonderful stuff. Bravo!
I was very much here for Butt News: The Whale edition, and I am very much here for this absolutely magnificent takedown in The Guardian. Agree with the other poster about your point re: the whale metaphor! What?! It doesn't even hang together! To hell with everyone who decided this was Prestige Cinema.
There is just too much magnificent writing here to call out but the part about the metaphor of Moby Dick being “whale” was a fave. Grateful for your voice and your incisiveness and your goddam brilliance.
This article was amazing…I immediately came and subscribed and look forward to your insights. As a fat person, The whale made me embarrassed to be in the theater. I kept slouching down farther and farther and at the end my (thin) friend said they loved it and my heart broke a little. I couldn’t explain to them how hurt it made me feel, and wanted to thank you for putting it in words.
Thank you for watching this so I never have to? Not that I was going to anyway but… it hurts.
You are just so wonderful. Thank you for your voice.
