America has tons of fancy academics and pundits explaining the complexities of US foreign policy to us. But in all seriousness, 90% of it is about a fear that some brown people are being disobedient out there on the hazy horizon, and this makes our tummy hurt.
I rewatched Children of Men yesterday. A masterpiece!

I watched Hero (2002) yesterday and it's rekindled my love for Wuxia films
