Demo account. Sincerity reads as naive. If a film winks at me I wink back.
Archetype
The Ironist
Sincerity reads as naive. With a streak of The Genre Devotee.
5% of curators. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
Wit, distance, a raised eyebrow. They like work that knows what it is doing and lets they in on the joke.
Where it goes wrong: Irony is a defence. The thing you are protecting yourself from is often the thing worth feeling.
More about the Ironist
- Avoids
- Unguarded sincerity. Earnestness makes you reach for the exits, even when it is earned.
- How they rate
- You reward cleverness and dock the heartfelt. Your reviews are the funniest on the site, and you know it.
- Good company
- Provocateurs and Formalists are good company. The Sincere is your mirror image; you two should compare notes more often.
- Against the crowd
- You are kinder than the crowd to the arch and the dry, and harder on tearjerkers that worked on everyone else.

Love is the fifth dimension, says the scientist, unironically, to an audience of adults. The wormhole is nice.

A show that breaks the fourth wall and then breaks the joke. The priest noticing is the best single beat in a comedy this decade.
Mostly about the story.
