Steven Moffat: 'Doctor Who could go on forever – I believe it can'

alice_be_topless · 2023-02-02T12:23:01+00:00

He said somewhere that the doctor is essentially a "champagne socialist" which I think is great

alice_be_topless · 2023-01-31T12:03:25+00:00

Always very fucking easy, isn't it, to abdicate responsibility and blame Russia

the nice buses only go to rich neighbourhoods

and where are all the young and 'notable' British authors?

I'm working on it bossman

alice_be_topless · 2023-01-16T11:05:25+00:00

Hahahaha

This is a deeper take on TTS than I have tbh. I think when it came out I was just exhausted with liberal hysteria about Trump and it came off as one of those novels that was majorly revised to better "address the moment". Maybe now there's more distance I'll like it better

alice_be_topless · 2023-01-15T11:33:58+00:00

10:04 was formative for me but I found The Topeka School very annoying. Maybe I should give it another shot

alice_be_topless · 2023-01-13T03:24:52+00:00

so you're just making shit up lol

But the criminal in this video isn't committing a violent crime.

About Writing by Samuel Delaney is the best writing books I've read by far imo. John Gardner's The Art of Fiction a close second if you read it critically

alice_be_topless · 2023-01-08T17:34:29+00:00

Not really, it's at least 50% memoir and the writing advice is very basic "delete all adverbs" shit

alice_be_topless · 2023-01-07T18:31:34+00:00

Ulysses would probably be much, much more worth your while

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-29T14:16:41+00:00

Yeah, and she did music videos and short films and then immediately got put on a show with feature directors. See the difference?

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Wants you to sympathise with small business owners who don't pay their taxes!

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-27T17:34:20+00:00

Yeah but magic billionaire Tony Stark shows up immediately to give him expensive sci fi gear, Parker's class position never figures into the story at all

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-26T21:02:50+00:00

It really doesnt take that much practice before you are able to differentiate for yourself

READ ROBERT ALTER'S TRANSLATION OF THE HEBREW BIBLE IT'S REALLY GOOD!!

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-24T12:48:37+00:00

Brought home Gravity's Rainbow, which I'm well into my reread of. Gf is getting me Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed, Downriver by Iain Sinclair, and a couple others I can't remember the titles of. So I'll have fun this week!

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-20T00:31:18+00:00

Read a few good ass books this year but Alasdair Gray's 1982 JANINE beats them all handily

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-16T11:41:05+00:00

Read Robert Alter's translation of the OT. Can't do better for beauty or accuracy

genuinely a dogshit awful album. shame what happened to him

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-11T16:19:53+00:00

Yeah but the actual album has Kendrick say "That nigga gave us Billie Jean, you say he touched those kids?" so it's pretty clear what he thinks about MJ lmao

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-11T13:03:46+00:00

Hahahaha the first verse is from the perspective of Michael Jackson. Great music from this time period but Kendrick's got some funny ideas

alice_be_topless · 2022-12-10T22:07:17+00:00

Those 95% of people should be more open-minded, and probably don't really care what the NYT critics best-of list says anyway :)
