Okay. The article does not give name but I think this is a documentary (not a retelling, in a dramatic movie) and the name of doc is "Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare."

These sorts of docs are triggering for me, but I feel I have to watch them. (If I can.)

Fukushima review – a devastating account of disaster and denial in 2011 nuclear catastrophe
A tense return to the disaster foregrounds the heroism of the ‘Fukushima 50’ while raising questions about corporate secrecy and nuclear safety

Rewatch complete of Kevin Costner’s slow burn western that’s love letter to the open range and a way of life long gone. Terrific cast with Costner and Duvall’s chemistry elevating the movie. Sweeping score, beautiful cinematography and when it hits brutal and unflinching violence.

It's called PROJECTION, and Trump does it daily. Blaming others for what he is doing, has done, or will be doing. PROJECTION.

That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Death comes for everyone. Robert Duvall was born to be a storyteller on screen.

Gonna watch a Duvall double feature* and think about life.

*I don’t even know which movies I wanna do. The man’s filmography is deep. You could cut it into thirds, and each is legendary in its own right right
