my most unpopular opinion is probably that “if it’s good enough, spoilers won‘t ruin it for you anyway” is actually kinda mid & basic intellectualism, based on a trite model of narrative meaning as "content" to be decoded & appreciated cerebrally rather than *import* to be experienced dynamically

agreed and I also think anti-spoiler backlash has far exceeded its banks in general! “if it’s good enough, spoilers won‘t ruin it for you anyway” NO I want to experience the story at the intended pace and construct my own relationship with the narrative!!!

Back-cover-of-the-book text shouldn’t be allowed to spoil anything that happens in the second half of the book. Authors worked hard to put that stuff in that order!

To be fair, there are also SFF books from the 90s that could also be 200 pages. Looking at you, Snow Crash!

The best part of Harlan Ellison's Doctor Who essay is that Pinnacle Books censored one line and one line only of Harlan's submitted draft dated Nov. 1, 1978. A dig at Anita Bryant at the height of her pernicious political influence in the States.

Happy Columbo’s Day
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.” “If the car’s gone,” “I’ll give you another cookie anyway” “because I love you.”

hm? sorry, i was just thinking about how the latest adaptation of PET SEMATARY managed to fuck up one of King's best, most straightforward stories in the stupidest way possible, and how i wish the first PET SEMATARY movie was better, and also, this can't be an Arby's because that place burned down

A Doctor Who pure-historical where the TARDIS breaks down in 1750 BC Mesopotamia; luckily, it’s actually a really simple part to fix as long as they can find someone to sell them some good quality Sumerian copper.
