To match this, in a stunning piece of visual metaphor the physical, real world cinema I visit caught fire this year. It was ultimately fine, with only mild water damage that has since been repaired, but talk about a bad omen. The only film I managed to see there over the course of the year was James Gunn’s Superman (of which more later) which I was obliged to see both as a terminal DC super-fan and as a connoisseur of Dog Movies. I’m hoping to make it over there for Avatar: Fire and Ash before the end of the year, which will mean having to edit this list. A similar story with Netflix’s new Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man. (update: I made time for both!)

hence it is scarcely surprising not only that, historically, the reign of the Author should also have been that of the Critic, but that criticism (even "new criticism") should be
overthrown along with the Author.

This conception perfectly suits criticism, which can then take as its major task the discovery of the Author (or his hypostases: society, history, the psyche, freedom) beneath the work: once the Author is discovered, the text is "explained:' the critic has conquered;
I'll admit that I was actually enjoying this movie for as much as half an hour, this movie makes the most effort to turn its characters into actual characters and not just empty vehicles in service of one lame white man's self-actualization.

To give an Author to a text is to impose upon that text a stop clause, to furnish it with a final signification, to close the writing.
The original sin of "Avatar" is that the Na'vi are condescending racist caricatures by a very stupid white man.

barthes goes further - meaning becomes the exclusive domain of the reader, above the author but also the critic!

What's most stuck with me is just how up for this I was; I was never a hater but nor was I a devotee of Pandora in the aftermath of the first Avatar. Neither am I a James Cameron completionist, having...
