I need my American mutuals to lock in here: all the talk about “Russia/Israel meddling in U.S. elections” loses meaning if you look away while your own government is openly meddling in Brazil’s. It’s 1964 all over again.

I finally watched Camp Miasma and didn’t like it at all, but Little Death reminded me so much of the Keeper from The Evil Within. Also, The Evil Within 2 has such an interesting villain, a photographer serial killer… wonder if Jane Schoenbrun has ever mentioned those games?!

Straightforward fascist ideology running throughout, as illustrated by this passage
It’s not a coincidence that when you look at these violent antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who were assembled – to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person.  Not one looks normal.  They’re all deformed in some way – in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism.  Why is that?  Why?  If you look at two photographs and you see a normal American in the street and you see an Antifa protest, why do the people that are violently demonstrating – why is there not one normal-looking person among them?  Every one of them, through the course of their life and their decisions, has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways, to the point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred.

Trust your instincts to all people and across all civilizations.  You know what normal is.  You know what beautiful is.  You know what good is.  You know that families are right.  You know that children are precious and beautiful and must be protected.  You know that the criminal and the junkie and the predator is a threat to normal, healthy living.  This so much deeper than issues about taxation and regulation, although they’re incredibly important.  It’s about normal, healthy, ordered living.

I can’t stress enough how much the word masterpiece applies here. If you haven’t checked this out yet, you absolutely should. Anno is one of the finest Japanese directors working right now.

27: Suzaku (1997) "... with or without me ..." Ache and homesickness. Made me think about my family. I miss them. I wish we could talk. Alas. Fantastic film.
Sachiko stares at the inaka hillsides.Kozo walks through the woods with his camera.Sachiko, Michiru, Eisuke, and Yasuyo watch Kozo's final film.Old 8mm film of the family, with Kozo behind the camera.
