It's wild to me that there are people out there who genuinely don't like women. I'm not even talking like romantically or sexually or anything I mean like they just don't care about them at all.
They won't watch or read anything with female main characters, they don't listen to music made by women, they don't ever think about girls at all. It's crazy to me
I'm really grateful that I've seen almost 0 bad takes about Monkey Man (2024). I just want to say thank you all for your media literacy skills, and I'll have some smut for you (ideally) later today, or early tomorrow.
Dev radiates goodness. His humanity shines through every time he graces the screen, leaving you no choice but to root for him even when his character is doing something foul; his presence makes you understand where he’s coming from. With a career that always elevates, his latest performance in Monkey Man is my favorite. Giving us a fierce, soulful empathy, a channeled rage, shades of him we have yet to see—knowing he was so into martial arts during Skins, he’s brought it all together. Monkey Man is his moment, and an incredible directorial debut.
Dev sets the pace. He’s limitless. He’s fearless. Our responsibility as a generation is to go into familiar spaces and see them through new perspectives, thus creating, finding, and sharing a space that has never been touched before. He has that gift. He continues to surpass himself and surprise us, and we are all waiting for where he’ll take us next. — THE 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE OF 2024 (photo: Devin Yalkin—The New York Times)
