I’m teaching with the #graphicnovel adaptation of Parable of the Sower. So frightening to see all of what @jijennings.bsky.social Damian Duffy & @oebsociety.bsky.social shows in real time. The impotence of Schumer & other geriatric dem leadership is exhausting

I reviewed OPUS, which I liked quite a bit. Not a perfect movie, in fact it has some pretty pronounced and serious flaws, but Malkovich is a delight and the stuff about the parasitic/symbiotic relationship between criticism and art is surprisingly nuanced.
