Only halfway, but not an obvious liberal platitude in sight.

Anybody read it?

I’m also a big fan of 80s action films (a big shout out to Sargent who recommends, un-ironically, the Stallone movie “Cobra”). I got Netflix last year and I’ve been watching a lot of Asian action films, because they typically don’t have any PC-nonsense (although some are not immune) and they rock.

The classics in the genre are the John Woo movies — he later came to America and made a couple of classic 90s action films (“Hard Target” and “Face/Off”). Anyway, here are some thoughts on movies I watch last year:

I think you’ll like a couple of those!

They literally worship the multicultural Roman empire. It’s why the English are the way they are as a majority…

Personally I don’t pay too much attention to the detail, other wise I wouldn’t be able to watch Braveheart or many other films.

I find even these films with typical prog liberal narratives can be re-interpreted into a NRx meme. The Time Machine was on last night the modern film, and it had horrible depictions of a total half caste future… They all lived in bamboo eco huts under mind control…

Preferably, myself, I would call it a myth. Myth is a collective memory of events acted out by real people. Myth resonate for centuries because they help us discover hard-wired archetypes embedded in our racial and sometimes trans-racial psyche. Fantasy, while it might concern real people, has not endured the test of time and a particular story may die out.

I don’t think I’m hairsplitting here. John has provided a good example of fantasy. Many people want it to become myth.

That’s what a “Narrative” is a story for children. Leftist are children.

If you like 80s movies already, recommend Excalibur. Boorman wanted to make Lord of the Rings, but settled for that. It’s got a labor of love feel to it and is a lot of fun.
