I'm watching that movie "Tolkien" about the life of JRR Tolkien. Just got to the part where he replies to everyone who criticizes his work by calling them a Nazi or a child.

Oh wait no. He never did that because he was actually a mature adult and accomplished writer.

If there's ever a movie about this putz, it'll be called Patso and one of us will direct it.

We hire Will Tate to write the screenplay.

And dig up Ralphie May’s corpse to play Pat.

Too thin.

We’ve probably got a few months left for Bobby to play him.

But more handsome

Too handsome, masculine and likeable. Rosie O'Donnell is closer to reality.

For extra realism I nominate the great Chris Burke

There will never be a movie about this guy, or based on anything he has written. That’s why he’s losing his mind. He’s hitting middle age and realizing he will achieve none of the things he wanted to accomplish. In fact, he’s talked a great deal of shit to other people, with the assumption and assurance of his own future success. Now that he is a failure, now that he is even publishing books and still failing, he realizes he has no chance. This was his only card and he played it.

I hope it ends in a murder-suicide

Have you gotten to the part where he spends 5000 british pounds of his wife's to get his Twitter account back?

just saw Capote again, who knew after writing "In Cold Blood", the guy sent self-written 5 star reviews to various publications...

"No, orc, I did not say that." -JRR Tolkien's twitter account

He replies to every single Amazon review and Goodreads post. He probably obsessively checks what people are saying about him 24/7, refreshing the Amazon analytics page constantly.

Successful authors are famous for personally replying to all of their negative reviews. Because they have only 100 readers so it’s easy. Tracking and stalking your detractors is a sign of confidence, not one of insecurity and mental illness. I’m sure Stephen King and Orson Scott Card do that sort of thing all the time. They don’t just shrug and do something else when they are criticized or attacked. No, they followed up. They weren’t too busy writing, or spending time with their children, or doing interviews, or researching their next novels, or having healthy relationships with wives who didn’t suddenly balloon up to frightening proportions as their husbands’ mental states unraveled.
