But hear me out....

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Nakadai is an all timer. Sword of Doom is an exceptional bad vibes movie. “Evil mind. Evil sword.“ It’s worth finding one of his films and getting familiar this week
Tatsuya Nakadai was brilliant in so many films. ‘Intense’ hardly covers it. The Human Condition, Harakiri, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, so many, so many.

I wrote an essay about my favorite performance of his, The Sword of Doom, and its final frame— his face forever trapped in rage.
