incredible that Soderbergh has done every single one of these (uncredited stunt double for Rebel Wilson in pitch perfect 2)

I seek the Venn diagram so small that my audience could fit in a utility closet

no but seriously read Zorg—violence, maternity, infidelity, deception, Chopin’s-The-Awakening-by-way-of-colonial-Guyana

it seems to be available at just a handful of libraries around the world, but there’s a cheap Apple Books version and a paperback—well worth!!

Broadly IMO novels and films aren’t the main mediums for Developing Thought rn, soapbox-style arguments are—social media posts, essays, reels, etc. most ppl writing novels or making film are getting their political thought from those, which is why didactic art often has hammy literalistic speeches

I think this is true in one way but it also seems right-wing art is also deeply didactic (ranging from heavyhanded jokes about SJWs in Tim Allen sitcoms to “Classical Man” Twitter accts saying that Objectively Good Art is Moral and Edifies the Soul)

this is my specialty!!
