I have the cilantro gene. :(

But apparently it's not as bad as some. For example, Chipotle's cilantro lime rice is no problem, and thank god for that.

It would appear that the trickster demon that held control over the likes of Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus for years has lept into Katy Perry.

Just finished The Sign of Four, and Watson is the most selfish A-hole ever.

Also Doyle really overestimates how much the reader cares about the villains' backstories and motivations.

Depending on who you ask (SMG), Get Out deals subtextually with the fear of selling out, but that's a big stretch for what I think you're asking.

I guess the ultimate movie about artists selling out is Rent.

But Rent is unfathomably terrible. Don't watch Rent.

Obvious arguing about "what a movie thinks" is a little abstract, but I wanted to get some expert opinions on it, and since everyone but Lloyd Bridges is probably dead, I'm relying on you.

The absence of catharsis in the finale and the agency of Gary Cooper's wife would seem to indicate that the film at least acknowledges the existence of an alternative solution. But ultimately, I don't believe it's possible to find a definite answer to your question, and I don't think it's particularly important either considering most literary criticism tends to eschew authorial intent.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but doesn't he conclude that his lifestyle was selling out and he ends up pursuing artistic integrity instead?

I'm just ranting. But I'm glad Fassbender and Scott personally ruined the Alien for them.
