I haven't read it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 48 points 2 years ago (2 children) It's fine but it's the kinda book that this guy would only have bought because he worships Scorsese as the pinnacle of Kino, and has not actually read it.

And frankly, Marty's adaption is radical and good insofar as it centers the narrative away from the mystery and white saviors (and interrogates the readers/viewers consumption of such narratives); much more likely he got it at a Hudson News for a flight on recommendation from his step father, liked reading about the FBI, and was disappointed with the movie, as it made him very uncomfortable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) Haven't seen the film yet and had been planning to sleep on it but I'll give it a look.
