@mauthe_doog Fair enough! Didn't realize he had edited anything. I'm not sure that I agree completely, but this is a well-thought out response that gives me something to chew on. Thanks :)

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

Nobody quote tweeting this has a good critique of this review. They're all screenshotting one paragraph out of context and pretending like the next paragraph doesn't exist lmao

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@mauthe_doog @alexroussx @SaltySandals_ @strangeharbors He very clearly addresses all that though? It's the third and fourth paragraphs of his review

@james_sowka @GwenLovesMovies the director’s pay rate is whatever they actually paid themselves. If they paid themselves $0, the budget item is $0. “the cost of rent/mortgage” is not how film budgets work lol

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@james_sowka @GwenLovesMovies That's typically not included in a film's reported budget, no

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@james_sowka @GwenLovesMovies Usually when someone talks about how much a movie costs they're talking about the amount of money that was spent on it

@Cade_Onder Doesn't Disney not let them call him baby Yoda though

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@SupaIgy Looks sick! Super excited to see what else you all come up with

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@frogs4girls They did. It's called using a CPAP

@Korralawyer_ @MarranaaCano @azulasmind Are you an idiot

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@GwenLovesMovies Agreed! My main worry now is that Ruthye might end up feeling kind of vestigial? To be seen, of course

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@azurewoof_ @TRUCKERFEMME I don't really think this is an example of an unreliable narrator, either. It's not like this scene is supposed to be a flashback that we're seeing James' perspective of. It's happening in the present, in Silent Hill. It's just another example of the town doing what it does

@_ScreenBurn What IS eight nineteen? 🤔

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@Dblack_Rabbit @girI_front @judeinlondon That's a kind sentiment to express. It's just no more morally compulsory for him specifically to say it than it is for any other person in the room who also wasn't responsible for it

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@Dblack_Rabbit @girI_front @judeinlondon Sure, but in this case, his apology would be, in effect if not words, "I'm sorry that happened to you." Not "I'm sorry I did x". Which I don't think would please a lot of people asking for an apology. Maybe I'm wrong on this

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@no_earthquake Red Rising doesn't have the greatest prose, but this page isn't even representative of the book. It's from a passage where the narrator can barely form a coherent thought

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@ser_crispincool That's just the nature of fandom, right? Reviews at the time talked plenty about choices

[Michael? @fancyjorts]

@BuenaVistaS1 @I__HATE_SOCCER "its kinda hard to fuck up one of the best games of all time" a new movie just came out that would shock you
