Lifted from the comments, a small snapshot of our times:

There’s much that could be commented on – the raging at the innocuous, the dishonest use of the word hate, the projection, the nails and five o’clock shadow combo, the theatrical sweater-pulling and the ostentatiously deep breath, as if superhuman patience were being tested.

To say nothing of the seeming belief that he – Mr Zara Paquette – were barking his instructions directly to Kiera Knightley, as if she would be watching and dutifully taking notes. Like a good, obedient woman.

But what strikes me most is the fact that Mr Paquette doesnโ€™t seem to understand that what he wants โ€“ i.e., the ability to coerce and dictate, to bully others into lying โ€“ is not something that he should want.

Wanting the power to make others tell quite blatant lies about what is and isn’t real, and to thereby make those people cowed and absurd, is what makes him a bad person. A villain in this low-grade cross-dressing drama.

That this should even need saying is itself quite remarkable. Yet here we are.

Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
