Italian edition of Donald Westlake. Not sure what book this might be, perhaps his 1960 novel THE MERCENARIES.

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.
But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Worth a read (and great cover art)
My first essay of 2026 continues my read through of Thomas Burnett Swann's 16 historical fantasy novels.
WILL-O-THE-WISP (1976) was only published in the UK, the cover has absolutely nothing to do with the novel (I explain what happened), and it's about Puritans. It's surprisingly awesome!

Ah yes, one of the most controversial films of it’s era. Also the first found footage horror flick, literally.
Exploitation 101. It’s a rough one, proceed with caution.

Not every hero wears a cape.
Throughout their win vs Botswana at AFCON, a DR Congo supporter replicated the stance of Patrice Lumumba, a key figure in African and Congolese independence who was assassinated in 1961 following a joint plot between political opponents, Belgium, the US, and UK 🇨🇩

I rewatched this on the big screen last and it has lost none of its power.
Ok, since so many people have pointed out that we are currently living in the year of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", here's a pretty decent quality rip of the whole thing on YT.
