For my taste, the Killing and Eyes Wide Shut slip in between Dr Strangelove and the Shining, but otherwise it's nice to feel like the average Kubrick enjoyer 👍

Any American Verhoeven movie really. Going farther back I’d say Bertolucci’s The Conformist is the earliest version I’ve seen that accurately depicts the victimized mentality coupled with the craven cowardice we see from right wingers. It’s big coup de grace is realizing how lame they are.
Is there a work of art that was created well before the current era that you feel explains Trump and MAGA and everything better than anything contemporary? For me it’s Assassins (1990) but I’m curious if other people have one.

"Facsimile is jettisoned for narrative truth in a story about truth’s fungibility, where the blurry lines between fact and fiction are manifest in the very idea of performance." for the newsletter, i wrote about reality, and Lance Oppenheim's Primetime

Primetime was everything I'd hoped for. Not mentioned in my review: the soundtrack is excellent. There's a Herrmann-esque quality to the whole thing. The straight strings parts are the most obvious--so crunchy and full of texture--but even the parts with electronics behind it don't lose that core.
Got to see Ramon Kataquapit speak as a founder of Okiniwak a few days ago. This guy gets it and is able to relate these giant situations complicated by our governments to everyday issues. Give this guy you attention!! (and money)
