Exactly this. I love movies by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Ka... but often there isn't much of a plot. The visuals are stunning though.

I mean the things the leader of the Republican party says about healthcare, economics, really every policy issue, says he doesn't know how to read, doesn't care about facts, and if he ever did, doesn't have the cognitive ability to understand them.

The leader of the Republican party really is so clueless about so many policy areas and just doesn't care and/or cognitively can't take in the most basic facts.

I am not sure. I tend toward science fiction and a lot of those film adaptations hold my attention. It could just be that I am not a fan of film musicals.

That's a difficulty with too many policies and that Dems think good policies make good politics without the tough work of connecting with voters.

Why would many Scandinavians want to come here given our current situation and unbridled capitalism? And how much more racist is this guy going to get before more folks start calling him on it. His racism is now at the heart of administration policy making with increasingly awful outcomes.
