Fuckin' great! Okay look, nowhere in this article did I mention Alice Walker's amazing and yes, "world famous work of literature," The Color Purple. I was writing about the marvelous comics writer, "unfortunately not yet world famous," Gail Simone. I happened to reference as a humorous aside, the equally "world famous" movie adaptation of Ms. Walker's fine novel, and its "world famous" director, the "world famous" Steven fucking Spielberg. Never, ever put words in my mouth. I did not and never will ascribe Alice Walker's work to anyone other than herself, because I never mentioned her work at all. If I had written an article about Alice Walker, and had attributed the novel, The Color Purple, to Steven Spielberg, that would be an ironic slip-up (and stupid.) As it sits, I wrote an article about a damn fine writer, who happens to write comics, and happens to be female. Next time catch the spirit of the thing, enjoy it, and leave the nit-picking to people who actually pay attention. ]]> 435580@blogcritics.org Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:03:14 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/08/28/082117.php#comment-435081 "the color purple (that's the color, not the Spielberg movie)" You mean "The Color Purple" the world famous work of literature by Alice Walker? The world famous work of literature by Alice Walker which had a film adaption which was directed by Mr Spielberg. I'm assuming you've heard of the world famous author Alice Walker and your ascribing of her work to a man was merely an ironic slip-up on an article about a woman writer. Right? ]]> 435081@blogcritics.org Wed, 30 Aug 2006 14:35:24 EDT
