She’s worth $300 million, and Will Jordan is not. If that’s “crashing and burning”, hand me the flight yoke.
The Critical Drinker used to peddle simplistic Film Crit 101 to basement-dwelling nerds. Now he just peddles nerdrage to the same nerds because he has to. He’s become a victim of his own success. He has to hate everything, everything has to be stupid, everything has to be the Biggest! Scandal! Ever! because otherwise he doesn’t get paid.
He’s not wrong, but he’s also not saying anything particularly interesting or relevant. Space adventure aimed at children is not something that merits this kind of emotional incontinence.
Many years ago there was a quote on AoS that I’ve lost the link to:
“Men do not have extreme emotional reactions to trivialities. Children have extreme emotional reactions to trivialities. Men are expected to know what is trivial, and what is important, and govern themselves accordingly.”
Yes, if $300 million is “crashing and burning”, would somebody please shake me up and scorch me a bit? My needs are modest.
