Americans love telling stories about the moral injury of committing war crimes. This is not a new, important, unexplored line of inquiry - it’s the primary way we’ve managed to center ourselves in stories where we’re otherwise the villains.

How brilliant - well done.

Bullseye famously capitalised on sexy neo-noir ... I've just looked up the film on Amazon and someone writes "this film murdered my eyes," and I can't stop laughing. Hope you've survived it!

Haven't read this book in a few decades (ouch) but I don't remember *anything* that this poster suggest. I mostly recollect something about "Darts, Keith!" but even that feels like a fever dream, to be fair...

It's only a novella if it comes from the foothills of the Novel mountains in Italy. Otherwise it's just sparkling prose.

Yes! Although unlike streaming there was a chance you wouldn't get the movie you wanted straight away ... But it was also ok to wait, which is a habit we may have lost since ... "I Like Movies" captures something of that era really well (if you haven't already seen it). I recommend!
