@NewYorker @tnyfrontrow Oh well. Somewhat less than a tragedy. Selling magazines maybe. http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/amk/doc/0096.html … Tim Kreider's perspective.

@mequantum@NewYorker Money's important in the movie; so is power; but both are used to fulfill or mask desires, to achieve particular ends.

@NewYorker@tnyfrontrow@ducky_krupnik Much of what u ascribe to DF is really the work of GF. Who u finally cite in last graf. -
@lesliebialler@NewYorker@ducky_krupnik I don't know how they worked together, but the tone and emphases of the movie are very different. -
@tnyfrontrow@lesliebialler@NewYorker@ducky_krupnik I see. I should've said b4 I had not yet seen the movie. u got that. but my bad. -

@NewYorker@tnyfrontrow Weird though that, despite the critique, both Kubrick's film and Fincher's portray marriages still intact by the end -
@JordanMulder@NewYorker Because they're not critiques of marriage, they're critiques of assumptions about marriage. -
@tnyfrontrow@NewYorker Fair 'nuff. But wouldn't it be nice were there a critique of the institution itself? Sexism isn't assumptions alone. -

@JordanMulder@NewYorker It's a question I've been wondering about lately—the very status of the word "critique" in current thought. -
@tnyfrontrow@NewYorker Makes symmetrical sense, but maybe sociology and critique aren't opposing forces. E.g., Saba Mahmood does both...
