IDK Tarantino is an “auteur” but he ruined the rewatchability of Pulp Fiction for me because he thought it’d be cool to have himself say it like 50 times. It’d be a much better scene (and movie) if someone had been like “hey Q, let’s cool it on that, okay?”
So yeah, McCarthy, as heavily acclaimed as he is, isn’t above making mistakes.
Yes, why would I, someone who loves books and has been a reader for 30 years, let words affect me?
