# Entirely this.
'Have you read Harry Potter? It's really good.'

'No I haven't, because I'm an adult - smarm smarm smarm - what I have read, however, is the collected works of all the classical poets, William Blake and oh my GOD just look at how great I am!'

# Yeah but
adults who read Harry Potter (not to their kids) really should get out more

I think he wasn't being smarmy about reading highbrow literature, he was saying there's better things to read than kids books about wizards.

# And so one must define "better" and "should"
I mean - I still read Viz. Should I be shot?

I watched The Princess Bride the other day, and genuinely enjoyed it. What of me now?

# well
Is vis funny now? stopped being funny ages ago.

Nothing right with TPB - best awful film ever.

There are films that should be watched before other films. anything before a tom hanks for example.

# It's always been a curate's egg.
Generally the editorial is better than the cartoons these days, whereas it used to be the other way 'round.

Drunken Bakers, Raffles, is good, and there's a cartoonist with quite a blocky style that's jolly good too, though.

# Yeah well he was another one.
Worshipped by angry, impotent Western boys - of which I was one - blindly, adoringly, and unquestioningly. Which was somewhat ironic, given his discourse.
