I think it might have been living in isolation in NZ and being out numbered by meat-eaters (kids, Sophie and his parents), perhaps?
All I know is that NZ lamb is THE best in the world!

I was joking! He said it was because The Courier. He couldn’t gain his normal weight after he lost it for the movie and was recommended to eat meat.
I read an interview in Spanish in which someone mentioned the nude scenes in TPOTD and he supposedly said he didn’t have the body he wanted because he didn’t “lost” enough fat. I think he was actually saying he didn’t “gain” enough fat but, anyway, he looked wonderful!

Here’s a link to that horrible, misguided pompous, silly, unsubtle, half-baked (to use their own term), review by the National Review. It’s really wild. In no way have they understood anything about the film, or even seem to comprehend the story is from a 1967 novel, before “pseudo feminism” was even a thing. It’s laughable it’s such a bad review! Read at your own risk. apple.news/ATrk4zFNiROeOmUrt8zQgxw

Read at your own risk. apple.news/ATrk4zFNiROeOmUrt8zQgxwI just read the review, and it sounds to me that the writer took the movie a lot more personally than I did - and I’ve watched it 10 times! He’s not even reviewing the movie as much as explaining why he’s personally offended by it. People tend to overreact like that to movies when they see themselves on the screen.

I wrote about him when The Simpson-Morrissey controversy happened. He is a contrarian and actually a great writer but then it was clear that he isn’t 100% sane. He was a prominent and respected critic until he began to attack talent in award ceremonies. He was expelled of NYFCC after an incident with Steve McQueen. He just hated 12 Years a Slave, hated that it was made by “racist” black British people instead of African-Americans (the only ones capable of comprehend racism and slavery!) and he wanted that McQueen knew how much he hated him and how little he thought of him. That wasn’t the first incident but probably one of the biggest.
I remember his opinion of Jane Campion and he has always considered her a “white racist woman who hates men” and recently he got very angry at BC for made fun of Morrissey so he accused him of being a Harvey Weinstein creation and apparently having work in TIG (a movie that Weinstein bought after it was finished, by the way) made him automatically some kind of accomplice of sexual abuse or something! Interesting enough, someone like Morrissey is always the victim even when he has straightforwardly said and done actual racist things, including claiming that the media discriminate white bands to favor Black musicians (He has said much worst things about Muslins and Asians but very probably White doesn’t cafe for them). So his reactions are very bizarre. He seems to have morphed in a monstruos mix of the worst moralism of both the far left and the far right and it’s actually sad because he was really good and incisive. So yeah, he takes things extremely personal in a very paranoid way but only by certain people. He also defends actual racists, members of extremist political parties (and I’m not talking of Tories or Republics! Real real extremists!), when their are his faves!
