Yeah people that are serious like that are idiots. Yeah the dude was racist 100 years ago, so what, he still was a phenomenal writer.

Ugh Nicholas Cage in a Lovecraft movie?

"Where did the meteorite come from? WHERE DID THE METEORITE COME FROM?"

I wish they would do the story about the buzzing aliens harassing that guy out in the woods, would be way better than Color of Space which has been done to death.

It was also Lovecraft's favorite. I know that doesn't really mean much, but this was a guy who generally wasn't very confident in his writing.

That's interesting and yeah it does say something about the story since Lovecraft was so self critical. Maybe I'll re-read it someday and give it another chance. I mean, I didn't hate it and I am glad they're adapting one of his stories.

Lovecraft was an atheist and his works were typically allegories demeaning the follies and silly beliefs of Christians. You would think liberals would love him.

Lovecraft's fiction was amazing TC, don't let his real life beliefs and issues change your moral stance on him. Btw, any other historical figure that you may admire will most likely have a 99.9% chance of offending you since sexism, racism, and whateverism was so common beyond the 1900s that it was just a way of life to them.

You can still call him a fuckboi while acknowledging his lit influence. The Ender series might be my favorite scifi, but Card's still a pot of toss.

On the one hand, that's my favourite Lovecraft story, therefor I will never be able to judge this movie objectively on it's own merits without constantly comparing it to the short story.

On the other hand:

IIRC, Lovecraft was considered racist even for his time.

This, fuck him. And as a black person it annoys me when other people tell me how I should feel about him. It's easy to dismiss racism when you are not the target of it.

Same. Shit hits differently when you're a minority. Granted, I know I can't speak for everyone, but especially considering how bad he was even for his time, it's hard to just brush aside.

He stance on that softened toward the end of his life.

Either way, I'm not interested in cutting myself off from older art because people used to have shitty ideas. He didn't really promote racism, it was just there.

H.P. was a racist but I love the Lovecraftian mythos and it has inspired so much science fiction and fantasy over the past century.

Cool to see this story given another go, and Ill watch any movie with Nicolas Cage in it lol.

I got to admit, I did audibly "..ehhhh" when I say Nicholas Cage at the top of that poster.

Seems like a peculiar casting choice for a Lovecraftian horror.

Eh... they're telling the story from the inside, so he's the farmer that goes nuts from the story, not a visiting surveyor. And for that role, he's a good choice.

That's cool and all, but I'll remain cautious about it. Cage is just the best of bad actors.

I love some of Lovecrafts work but I dont respect him as a person because of his racism. Ill respect his work but not the individual behind the work. Its easy to say He was a racist. So what. His work was phenomenal when youre not the target of said racism.

Lovecraft was racist, but he was also a mentally ill person who was terrified of/hated everything outside of his personal bubble (including other white people). That's why he was able to write such crazy shit.
