I like dramas.
I did not win today’s Hamilton lottery.
– Can I really be… congratulated?
– You’ve worked harder than anyone else I know. You’ve run harder than anyone else. Of course, you deserve to be congratulated.
I think my favorite critique of AWIT (and what I was trying to passive-aggressively fight back against in my FB feed) is the people who have not even seen the movie yet losing their minds that the film has removed the Christian™ themes and replaced them with “social justice” and “familial love” and “new age spiritualism.” A young girl willing to sacrifice herself and who refuses to stop loving her brother in order to save him is SCANDALOUS, how can that possibly be true to L’Engle’s original Christian™ vision! All good™ Christians™ should avoid this film!
And I’m just like
People: What even was the point of Calvin.
Me: To become the new tween heartthrob because he had total respect for Meg’s intelligence, personality, family, and natural beauty, and was her cheerleader, giving her the extra push to trust in herself because he 100% believes in her. So basically behaving like most women sidekicks in films that have male leads.
Yo if your sole mission is to reblog everything in the AWIT tag and say “hey but ALL PEOPLE hate this movie because it’s NOT GOOD” then you’re being blocked without regret. Read the room, bro, you’re not wanted here.
Please go see “A Wrinkle In Time” because it’s getting slammed for being ‘too diverse’ and ‘too female’ and ‘too positive’ and all this other bullshit. It’s like these critic bros are trying to win misogynoir bingo. I want the movie to be a success and I want them to die mad.
