Oliver Corr

Relic of an other era. Late sleeper. Pedant. Bald.

@John_Reddick @JohnBradfordYT @ChenG03721819 @ztrussell Oh for Christ’s sake (no pun intended). It is an adaptation of Lewis. Just as, say, Hawks’s Big Sleep is an adaptation of Chandler despite junking the last third of the book and taking it in an entirely different direction.

@JohnBradfordYT @John_Reddick @ChenG03721819 @ztrussell Sorry. Talk me through my supposed inability to grasp this concept.

@JorCru @MediumSizeMeech I think she and QT made up to be fair.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@John_Reddick @oliver_corr @ChenG03721819 @ztrussell Right but they also just don't understand how verisimilitude works.

@ScottMcCreaWest The Godfather, The French Connection, Jaws, Psycho, Die Hard, Vertigo, Rosemary’s Baby, Dr Strangelove, Children of Men, Now Voyager, The Shawshank Redemption… I could go on all day.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@ScottMcCreaWest Yup.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@hyrumt @ChenG03721819 @ztrussell For fuck’s sake. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying it’s no more silly for a lion to talk with a woman’s voice than for a lion to simply talk. Both are clearly deviations from the norm.

@LeftistDad @FuascailtCait @FAIreland I don’t know if you’re really this thick. But nobody is suggesting the genocide *itself* would compare (or surely exceed) any dark day for Dublin. They’re saying merely playing a football match would not compare with Dublin’s darkest days.

@DavidKummer7 @Borys_Kit I don’t think Eggers imagined that aspect of it ever was a story. Just some journo not knowing what “old English” meant.

@RachelLeishman Please god, stop saying “big swing”.

@aaraam_pasand (Oh and, by the way, I don’t like Friends either)

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@aaraam_pasand Jesus Christ, not this again. Being one of the most popular shows ever on TV does not translate into a “cult following”. Indeed it could be seen as the precise *opposite* of a “cult following”.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@ChenG03721819 @ztrussell I don’t think the whole thing is silly. I think it is insane to think a lion talking is not silly but a lion taking with a woman’s voice is. “There is such a thing as naturalism”? PARDON? Of course there is. And Narnia could hardly be farther from naturalism. It’s not Ken Loach

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@ChenG03721819 @ztrussell I’m sorry, but it is bizarre to be relaxed about an animal talking and not relaxed about an apparently male animal talking with an apparently female voice.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@ztrussell FFS. Everyone who is “excited for” this does not think that. I am excited it and do not hope it expect that to happen. I hope this helps get this straw man out of your head.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@ChenG03721819 @ztrussell To clarify, you don’t find a lion talking seem silly?

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@StephenBrowne4 What mood is who reading wrong? What?

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@ScottDMenzel @diggerthemovie Please GOD will people stop saying “big swing” about this film? Find another creaky cliche for “overreaching shit”.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@AKlay19 They’re not *that* all over the place. They’re mostly some shade of bad.

[Oliver Corr @oliver_corr]

@mijuohdele It doesn’t have REMOTELY the same reaction. Are you insane? It’s largely excellent (One Battle) V largely terrible (Digger).
