you're allowed to like whatever you want i guess, and it's cool if the movie adaptations suck way less. but seriously please be aware that this man is reciting classic anti-intellectual anti-literacy conservative talking points. like, literally including the old "star trek is too political" one. not to mention that he thinks it's possible to produce rhetorically null stories, which it isn't. worse, he thinks that's ideal. absolute disgrace to the profession of writing
