If you can't sum up your opinion of a film on a beer mat, you're being pretentious. All the latest multiplex releases reviewed every Sunday, with beer.

@ianRobinson@mastodon.social You write, I sometimes put out something that may be taken to be writing, would you ever put Wikipedia in an official bio?
If I have to read "coded as Islamic" one more time from someone who claims to have read the books, I will scream. You mean to tell me the people who undertake "hajj", lead a "jihad", and have a "mahdi" are coded as Islamic? No shit, Sherlock.
"She's a GI Jane girlboss", really? Tell me all the similarities between Chani and GI Jane, heavily referencing the Demi Moore film, outside the fact both are female and fight. Was Chani subject to negative gender stereotyping to prevent her advancing in the military? Did I miss the scene where Chani was humiliated to dissuade her from continuing? In the books or the film? If you are doing analysis, you cannot use Twitter-deep shorthand to make a badly formed point.
If I'd written about Dune, my spell check would be changed to spell "Chani" properly...
