Who Cares What Society Thinks Relationships Should Be Like. Don't Be Afraid To Have Strange And Unusual

Dear Tim Burton

Dear #TimBurton,

Up Yours. I just went with a friend to see Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and we’d been excited for weeks (it only just came out in Mongolia). I even rushed to finish reading it before the Mongolia release.

Mr. Burton, the protagonist in MSHfPC is #Jewish. His grandfather is a#Jew. It’s a story about Jews and the monsters who chase us. A huge part of the book is questioning whether Grandfather’s “monsters” were supernatural monsters, or the real monsters of Nazis hunting Jews, the Monsters that murdered his entire family. Did he go to the children’s home because he was a peculiar or because of the dangerous peculiarity of being a Jew in Europe in WWII?

Yet in your film, the word “Jew” was spoken exactly zero times. You wiped away the characters’ identities. And don’t you DARE claim that it was an unintentional omission, because you proved that it wasn’t. See, in the book, Grandfather Abe often calls Jake “Yakov,” the Jewish form of Jacob. Yet in the movie, you changed that into a Polish nickname. So you can’t claim this was an omission when you and your team took the time to re-write even his nickname to make it not Jewish.

So Up Yours for your white-bread characters and white-bread movies. Up Yours for making the only POC character in the entire film the bad guy. And finally, Up Yours for taking away, yet again, the chance for us to see one of our own, a Jewish Protagonist promised in the novel, on screen.

I hope you learned something

absolutely love this bit from harley quinn (2021) #31!

i honestly can't remember the last time we actually saw any signs in harley's behavior indicating that she's a domestic abuse survivor. but here, while it's nothing too dramatic, you can see how it manifests in her actions -- the way she's reluctant to admit she messed up, how she squares her shoulders as if bracing for impact, almost expecting ivy to lash out at her. but ivy, seeing the way she retreats into herself, doesn't push any further and instead changes the subject to something she can praise harley for, and make her feel more appreciated and at ease. and you can see harley's body language relax as she does. it's a small moment, but so meaningful and sweet!

we had a whole pearl-clutching fest last month debating whether or not we should laugh at billionaires killing themselves in their own deathtraps meanwhile media executives feel comfortable saying shit like “we’re just waiting for the people we’re exploiting to go homeless” with zero personal consequences. we need to stuff more billionaires into shitty submarines and laugh harder
