When will the swan begin to sing?
We’re so weary of everything
And the swan on the river goes glidin' by
The swan on the river goes glidin' by
—Bob Dylan, “The Ballad of the Gliding Swan”

Sitting in a diner today,
reading about Paul
writing Yesterday,
I thought,
I’ll sit here a little longer,
and read,
until it comes on the radio
And I have

"The scorching darkness underneath fascism is due, at least in part, to the way fascism replaces human beings with abstractions: race, purity, nation, rules."

@chaykak More subjectivity, no doubt. Uncertainty about fingers

I think the adoption of AI is going to result in a different kind of writing being valued from human writers, probably less chronologies and reference points and more personal narratives and impassioned rhetoric

Cassandra Kulukundis pointing out she has an Oscar before Paul Thomas Anderson is so dead on LOL

Every year I think the same thing: the greatest moment in Oscar history will be when they announce a winner WHO WASN’T EVEN NOMINATED

@CitizenBego I won’t belabor either, except to suggest that all those important capacities of yours were engaged by the story, which obviously was invented by Maggie O’Farrell but was delivered very effectively, in my view at least, by the screenplay she co-wrote with Chloe Zhao. YRMV!

@CalMorgan Having a child? Loving Shakespeare? Having a lively imagination? Being v empathetic? Power of image? Etc.
I don't want to belabour my point. But it felt pedestrian to me, undercooked, but also well-made, and often well-acted.

Hamnet is basically in a genre all its own: deathbedcore, or convalescence fiction.
Can't believe somebody let them write a script this bare and hollow.

@CitizenBego I can’t speak for your reaction, but it’s hard to understand how a film could make one weep five times without the script being at least somewhat responsible.
English
@CalMorgan I mean if you think just the subject matter of child death is script, cool.
I was weepy five times in there. But it had nothing to do with power of the script.

Oh yeah.
'Lorentzen’s essay bristles with thought-provoking observations but will strike many readers as idealist and regressive in its ultimate conception of literature.'
