Just finished Embassytown and it makes no loving sense. What was at least an interesting problem (the absurd) washed away by MAGICAL VIRAL SEMIOTICS? Protagonists journey from eager imperialist to anti-colonialist revolutionary was also completely unearned, like they got 85% of the way through and realized “wait, she’s a bit poo poo, innit?” and then she reads Space Fanon off-screen. And the newly-enlightened noble savages even speak English because: of course they do! E: Oh, and miss me with this “People totes just invent ideograms on the spot, guys!” poo poo...

trekistanis so i'm watching gemini man (lol) cuz it's free on prime and the action in it is so bad. unbelievably bad. worse than the dinosaurs in jurassic park bad. everything is made of plasticine and has negative inertia. it's a total joke.

ok if you don't think the dinosaurs in Jurassic park are rad I don't even know what to say to you

the story made no sense, the action scenes were laughable, never any real stakes or pathos perfect mindless action flick imo
