I’ve spent the last three weekends canvassing for Abdul in Ann Arbor, and though I haven’t had conversations with people quite as nakedly transparent as this one, I’ve sadly had several where Islamophobia was clearly the elephant in the room.

Personally I want a Carrie adaptation that stays true to the original ending, where Carrie turns into Godzilla.

We just got out of the movie. “You Can See Everything” No spoilers. Wow. Just wow. Packed house, applause at the end. Thanks @markharris.bsky.social for your comments and can’t wait to dig in to the John Carreyou piece and @drewmagary.bsky.social as well. H/t to @timmarchman.bsky.social

This was largely my reaction. Felt more sorry for Margaret (who is weird but ultimately not that deeply weird) than anything else, and that was so deeply counter-intuitive from the original novel/DePalma film version…

The TV series was my wife's first exposure to Carrie, and she really liked it. Immediately watched the movie afterwards and was very, very disappointed with it. So I would guess indirectly she would agree with you.
