...and how the tenets and dictates of a polite society can be gamified by those who live free from consequence in order to get what they want. A bitter, nasty piece of work, dressed up in luxurious fabric.

Can't speak to the other versions of this story, but 2024's SHOGUN plays as a ruthless tragedy, ultimately revealing itself to be a tallying of just how many lives and souls can be laid to waste in the name of one man's ambition...

SHOGUN closes its remarkable run out not with fireworks and spectacle but with a quiet and soulful rumination on making peace with your fate being out of your control. A surrender to a higher power, even while knowing that that higher power is malicious.

I was wondering when the rock bottom of 00s blockbuster reappraisal would come and I guess with X Men Origins we've hit it. The best thing I can say about it is it lead to First Class.

The best thing about Aunt May's 'There's a hero in all of us' speech in Spider-Man 2 is that the movie reinforces that idea throughout.

Whenever they get the chance, normal everyday people try to save Spider-Man just as often as he saves them and it chokes me up every time.

absolutely love this book and the 2002 adaptation. highly recommended twitter.com/SketchesbyBoze…

University admin ordering police to zip tie and arrest professors protecting students praying in between protesting a genocide is about as Orwellian as I can imagine. Shame on NYU, Columbia, and all the rest. Admiration to these profs living up to our ideals.
