        It’s fine but it’s the kinda book that this guy would only have bought because he worships Scorsese as the pinnacle of Kino, and has not actually read it. It’s so unrelated to and unlike the rest of his stuff that no other outcome is likely. Check out that perfect spine.

        Actually, check out the perfect spines on everything but the two Death note re-releases.

          To be fair like 3/4ths of the books on this ‘shelf’ are hardcovers and aren’t exactly going to show any wear in the spines if read. Hell, how hard do you have to treat a average sized paperback like the Killers of the Flower Moon copy to have it show any sort of wear on the spine in a tight bookshelf like that

          Martin Scorsese isn’t the pinnacle of kino

          Oof.

          And frankly, Marty’s adaption is radical and good insofar as it centers the narrative away from the mystery and white saviors (and interrogates the readers/viewers consumption of such narratives); much more likely he got it at a Hudson News for a flight on recommendation from his step father, liked reading about the FBI, and was disappointed with the movie, as it made him very uncomfortable.
