Stuck with The Brutalist until the Intermission. Brutal. Extremely long and labored, the film’s problem is that it tries to get you to root for an architect whose buildings are ugly, inhuman, concrete monstrosities. I couldn’t.

Hallo

Today I start using Substack

I used to like Twitter but always felt very constrained by the 144 limit

This brought problems for the irony-challenged, who misunderstood a lot of what I was trying to say

Apparently this makes me controversial, and therefore box office poison
