Post by Movies Silently ‪@moviessilently.bsky.social‬ One thing I hate about social media is how it has programmed us to preemptively justify ourselves I can't just say that I like the 1922 Oliver Twist. I have to say that I know it was adapted from a Dickens novel, that I know Lon Chaney play the Phantom, that Jackie Coogan was discovered by Chaplin Otherwise, my mentions are full of sentient Clippys cheerfully informing me of the most obvious side points imaginable. See, when you do that, the subtext is that you don't think I know that.
