I like that this is a combo of Spielberg-Kubrick's A.I and Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

He should have been there! Maybe Leo doesn't like the violence and the movies aren't exactly hopeful. Henry Hill hoping one day he'll eat real pasta sauce.

The piece and author shouldn't get blowback. It's clear he's writing about a foolish woman who did a stupid bad thing. She says it herself. It's fascinating how she fell for him, which she never explains. The book title and what she calls him in it are pretentious. We didn't need the glamour photos.

Another post says the piece glamorized her as a female journalist. Ok, then I retract my objection

I haven't read the article, but just describing how a journalist lost her mind and ethics doesn't mean endorsing her and her behavior.

Haven't seen these movies, but there was a debate in the AV Club comments about whether these characters were doing illusions or were actual supernatural magicians, since what they do in the movies appears physically impossible--and now I might be interested in seeing the franchise.

Fun fact: I am an uncle for the first time, after my sister gave birth to a boy named Leo a month and change after Robert Prevost was elected Pope and took on the name. "Way to go, Leo" is said a lot in our family.

Two of his four favorite films are about fighting Nazis. A third is about opposing a rapacious capitalist. I haven't seen Ordinary People yet, so I don't know if it has a real world analogue villain that's terrible for society.

I'm amazed the economic populist who won the presidency a record four times was memory-holed by his party and everyone else for so long. I mean, are we in the dumbest time period ever when his party must be dragged kicking and screaming to the simple and winning idea that gov must help people?

As you should. Nothing like the thoughts, desires, hopes, and fears of the actual participants. Just that I love reading history and was hoping for new book titles. (Currently in the middle of Greg Grandin's America, América.)
