Um juiz blogueirinho, um completo idiota que pendurou uma melancia identitária-terapeutista no pescoço dele no Instagram ("LGBTQIA+", "TEA") e fez comentário provocativo em postagem da advogada. Juiz vira alvo do CNJ após condenar família por homeschooling claudiodantas.com.br/juiz-vira-alvo…

When you first encounter Cage you think... what is this. Why does he rapidly oscillate between wooden and deranged. Is it on purpose. This isn't good. It's absurd! It's ridiculous! And everyone concludes ah ok I have to like him ironically... but go through his entire ouevre and you realize this is a man whose talent lies in his total commitment and willingness to BE A SPECTACLE and have fun doing it, whether he's in cheap garbage that he agreed to get out of his "literal fleet of yacht and collection of dinosaur bones" debt or if it's in high concept + high brow meta stuff like "Adaptation." He's got GUTS. He's got MOXIE. He's got VRIL. He's got AURA. He's OPERATIC. I'd cast him to play fucking Konrad Curze and there's no one who could play Curze better. I fuckin' LOVE Nicolas Cage sincerely and unironically and I CRINGE at all those cowards who ironicize his GENIUS.

How are Deniro or Pacino or DDL or Leo or Brando touching this? Get real.

Two important differences: 1 - A film can be watched in a couple of hours, a book can take a week. 2 - Cinema only has 100 years of history. It's not unreasonable to expect cinephiles to have a working knowledge of the entire relevant body of work and a lot of them do.

I don’t think that’s true

@jamesxhorror @Howlingmutant0 anti-socialist rhetoric? Oh my!...

I don’t think the vast majority of horror creators are putting out films promoting racism, sexism, transphobia, religious extremism or anything but a socialist agenda. I think it’s actually the complete opposite on the whole. You’re absolutely entitled to that opinion too. I do find it interesting that once you’d questioned my tweet I was inundated with racist, homophobic, transphobic and anti socialist rhetoric though. I’m flattered you and your followers decided to come and give me abuse 😊

You simply cannot be a horror fan and then still hold racist, misogynistic, transphobic, religiously conservatist or anti socialist views. The two aren’t compatible.

In Japan over the last 150 years, as with many other countries, there has essentially been two types of novel. The first type is known as “rensai” (serialized) and appears initially in daily, weekly or monthly instalments in a newspaper or magazine - like the Victorian novels of Dickens, Thackeray and George Eliot - before being published as a single volume. The second type is known as “kakioroshi” and means the whole thing is published as a book in one go. In the early to mid 20th century most novels - like those produced by Soseki and Mishima - were serialised with the odd “kakioroshi” exception. But from the 1970s onwards, serialisation of novels became increasingly rare and “kakioroshi”became the norm. The means by which you publish a novel often has a significant bearing on the novel itself. Serialized novels were often being written in real time with the writer only being a few instalments ahead of publication. This meant that he or she could closely observe the public reaction to the novel as it was being written and adapt it accordingly. It also meant that topical events could be included in the novel. In Soseki’s “I am a Cat”, the cat narrator actually refers to the success of the serialization and his own new-found celebrity in the book itself. The pressure of serialization also governed the rituals of writing. If a writer was falling behind, a common practice was “canning” (“kanzume”), which meant confining a writer to a hotel room and not letting them out until they caught up. Editors would traditionally call round to a writer’s house to receive a manuscript at a precise time every week, though boozy writers would very often make excuses. Yukio Mishima was famous for being utterly punctilious and never missed a deadline. On the other hand, a “kakioroshi” novel was a bit more of a high risk endeavour where you could try out something new and surprise your readership, but also run the hazard of disastrous response. Mishima’s breakout novel “Confessions of a Mask” was “kakioroshi” and a spectacular success. For the next decade he was producing serialized novels, but then, tired of riding the waves of popular fads, he determined he would write a major “kakioroshi” novel once more and locked himself away to produce “Kyoko’s House”. Unfortunately this time the gamble backfired and the novel was panned by the critics to Mishima’s major disappointment. These days, every few years, Haruki Murakami publishes a new novel and there is always a big media frenzy as the public have little idea what the latest door-stopping volume may contain. Some of Murakami’s early novels were “rensai” (serialized) but they have mostly been “kakioroshi”, with the caveat that Murakami sometimes puts into a public space a short story or serialization and then significantly expands those themes when publishing a novel (sometimes at many years remove). Some writers argue that pulling away from rensai/serialization is a good thing as it allows more time to give shape and reflection on a novel. But losing the immediacy of day to day public engagement can also be viewed as a significant loss. One thing that occurs to me is that X itself offers a modern day form of immediate public response to tentative ideas and themes. You might not want to publish a whole novel on X, but you can gain a good sense of what things people find engaging and what things only elicit disinterest.

Divulgarei, pela primeira vez, o motivo nunca revelado da antipatia de Vladimir Nabokov para com Dostoiévski. Todo mundo sabe que Nabokov era um entusiástico caçador de borboletas. O que ninguém sabe é o seguinte: frequentemente, quando vagueava por pradarias isoladas ou bordejava taigas, ele topava com caçadores de ursos. Nestas ocasiões, por razões óbvias, ele imediatamente se tornava motivo de piada. Um dia, ele teve de pernoitar próximo a uma encosta, acompanhado de dois caçadores, que passaram a noite inteira tirando sarro do rapinador de insetos. Diante da fogueira, exasperado, Nabokov decidiu: "Vou dar o troco e humilhar esses imbecis". Perguntou-lhes qual o romancista predileto, e ouviu Dostoiévski em resposta. Aí está o motivo de tamanha antipatia. E se não for este, tanto faz.

@tcmpacheco @Haddad_Fernando teve algum filme que ele falou que eu senti isso também, mas felizmente já esqueci qual era

@LordAss @Haddad_Fernando Fiquei triste que ele escolheu o Shawshank, vou acabar lembrando disso quando rever. Pelo menos ele não falou do Lebowski, já ajuda.

Me perguntaram sobre os filmes que eu mais gosto. Foi difícil escolher, porque muitos me marcaram ao longo da vida, mas essa foi a seleção que consegui fazer. Quais filmes mais marcaram a vida de vocês? Comentem aqui.

Bizarro isso

1. Lulinha viajou de Primeira Classe com o Careca do INSS; 2. A lobista amiga do Lulinha mandou o Careca apagar as mensagens que envolveriam Lulinha; 3. O Careca pagava uma mesada de R$ 300 mil para “o filho do rapaz”. Você não vai ver um único esquerdista mudando de voto por causa disso. Pelo contrário, comemoram quando enterraram a CPMI do INSS. Hoje, eu acho que essa seja a maior diferença entre a esquerda e direita no Brasil. A esquerda JAMAIS atiraria no seu principal candidato por algo como corrupção. Nem roubar velhinhos os comove. A direita brasileira, entretanto, não consegue ser assim e, ao que tudo indica, jamais será. É bom porque sei que não estou cercado de psicopatas tarados por poder. É ruim porque me parece que os psicopatas tarados por poder vão ganhar de novo.

The 'tomboy' characters in Enid Blyton books were important role models for girls who didn't conform to 'girly' stereotypes. These characters told them 'you're fine as you are.' Now girls are given the opposite message. Now they have to turn into boys to be okay.

@CaioDia36798182 Por coincidência revi essa semana também. Muy bueno.

Tenho visto/revisto muitos filmes dos anos 70, e imagino como devem parecer estranhos aos jovens de agora. Nada de edições frenéticas ou trilhas apelativas; finais abruptos; muita crueza e brutalidade, a câmera sóbria. Tudo feito na pressuposição de que há adultos na sala.
