Madame Web is actually nowhere near as bad as people say (at least it’s not bad in a boring way). If you enjoy:
- cpr
- Sydney Sweeney performances (same vocal intonation, same blank doe eyed stare)
- endearingly awkward and clunky Dakota Johnson performances
- a heartfelt if not a little cliche story about women (and girls) finding support and community amongst each other
- cool sunglasses
- bugs (spiders)
Go see Madame Web. And if possible see it in 4dx. It’s a fun story, it’s not boring and I think any ‘flaws’ make it more fun. Her web connects them all.

Madame Web was an instant classic. I reject the premise that you can like things “ironically” and I embrace the love of Madame Web into my heart. It was simple, numbing and enjoyable in a way that combined the sloppy bullshit of 00s superhero movies with giallo style bad dubbing and incoherent narrative. It lends itself to many generous queer theory interpretations and interpretations of post 9/11 surveillance culture.

Sometimes I recommend being a hater. I’m not here to talk about the numerous quality uses of AI, how often it is actually used nor am I here to critique AI without strawmanning it. I don’t care if I strawman an account of AI because I genuinely despise the way most people use AI. I think AI generated images are ugly. I think that AI cannot hold a half decent conversation. I’m completely avoidant when it comes to showing AI my writing; I’ve never done it and I refuse to. I hate when you go to that one poetry website and there is AI “analysis” there, because its not real textual analysis and it upholds a certain contextualised intentionalist framework of reading a text reinforced in high school English. I hate that the meta AI will influence what products will be advertised to you. I don’t care if it’s the future. I genuinely love being called a dinosaur because I hate AI.

When we let go of the fear we hold towards the smallest creatures of our environment, and learn how to immerse ourself in an instance of nature rather than making an instance of nature our own, we learn to truly be alive. Bugs are great because you can’t own them, but you can admire their beauty. #bugnation2024
