We've still got Teruyo Nogami, Kurosawa's assistant-turned-documentarian, and who is 98.
We've got Kyōko Kagawa at 93, youngster Akira Terao at 78.
But for *STARS* - actors who led those hard-hitting dramas and trend-setting genre films of the golden age - this is it. This is the end. RIP Nakadai.

Farewell to one of brightest stars of the golden age of Japanese cinema: Nakadai Tatsuya, who starred in some of history's greatest films, has passed away at the age of 92. Major roles included those in Ran, Hara Kiri, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Kagemusha, The Human Condition, and many more.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Cuomo’s Trumpification is complete.
Also, the Cuomo-Mamdani head-to-head race that NYC billionaires want is what the billionaire backers of the jungle primary ballot question want in MA.
They want elections where they can pour in money to crush progressives with corporate Democrats.

"The president is right: a vote for Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani," Cuomo says on 77WABC radio in response to Trump's words of support just posted on Truth Social.
"Now it's gonna be up to the Republicans, and I hope they listen to the president," he adds.

look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

"Have you never seen a film before? You watch it and information is revealed" is a media literacy anecdote that lives in my head rent free
Any time a movie starts with an opening text crawl or character voice-over to deliver exposition, I'm like "Ah, one test audience member was a bit confused/on their phone and the producers didn't like that"
Confusion is good! It invites questions that can be answered later! That's free mystery!
