Hey! Today I didn't only have to listen to a tipsy young Scotsman mansplaining for an hour to his girlfriend, I got mansplained to on my own damn Twitter.

I am not in the mood to explain why 'oh, it's just a mirror of Dickens, that's why she's flat' is irrelevant wrt my point about Katherine Jenkins' character (see, so fucking flat that I didn't even catch her NAME) being symptomatic of the Christopher Nolan Dead Wife Syndrome.

Also, the mirror comparison is a straw man. In the original, Belle is not the sole motivator of Scrooge; iirc, she doesn't even die. Versions of A Christmas Carol have been done where Belle has character.

Anyway. Sigh.

Also, I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and while I have some big issues with it, I want to rewrite it to make it FUCKING AWESOME because there's some good shit in that concept.
