Tarantino's not that weird of a director for even people not much into film to know and like. Lynch is kind of more out there but he's done some relatively normal movies that wouldn't scare people away. Twin Peaks too is really popular.

Butterfly, I know that you won’t take this seriously on account of the constant shit-flinging that defines this site, but I am being 100% serious when I say that you have literally no redeeming qualities. You’re not funny, you’re clearly not successful or accomplished in any meaningful way, you’re not smart, you’re not a positive addition to any community or group with which you identify yourself.

Not since JK Rowling got social media backlash for her trans comments. I don't know why people feel a need to like the authors of the books they read. Whenever I read about authors from the past they usually sound like assholes, but I'll read their books anyway.

Oh, The Tunnel, you say, with that grimace plastered across your face. The Tunnel? One of the greatest books in the history of western literature, and you simply say it's name with a despicable tone, lathered in irony, rolling your eyes. Which was the straw that broke the camel's back hmm? Assuming you even read it. Was it the genius typography, made to resemble the narrators tiny penis? was that which made you uncomfortable, was it the lack of a female perspective? was it being stuck in the mind of a fat middle aged racist? Was it simply your brain being unable to respond to these things sincerely, without mockery?
