I’m seeing a lot of critical reappraisal of The Boys lately, whereas it seems like mere weeks ago it was being eviscerated by almost everyone.
It’s big, epic read. I’m not sure it’s great, but it’s certainly not terrible, despite some terrible moments.
I’m going to make a soundtrack playlist for this book. Songs that feel evocative of Infinite Jest in some way.
I feel like there’s going to be a lot of Steely Dan and REM on there. And definitely “Under Pressure.”
Any other suggestions?
Now reading.
I may end up reading this alongside other, shorter, breezier books, so it might take a while to get through it, but I want to put it in writing that I’m giving this a shot.🤞
@bogposting I’ve never been super invested in this thing, despite loving Nolan, but I think it will be fine. Probably quite good but not quite great.
I think people are being way too hard on it considering the fact that exactly 0 of them have seen it.
Jesus fuck, this poster is fine. Not *great,* but fine. I continue to be *somewhat* excited about this movie. But man people are going in on this.
We’ve gotta work on the way we turn on everyone who wins Best Director, like, immediately after they win said meaningless thing.
You’d think I’d have learned my lesson about staring at my phone while I pee after dropping 3 phones in like 16 toilets in the last 5 years but I definitely haven’t.
I’m on a hell of a no-dropping streak, though. Would be a shame to not see it through. 🤞
