Let’s assume a golden age is built on talent, which seems like a reasonable claim to make. What happened then, what changed with talent between, say, 1985 and 2015? Where is the Iraqi Platoon, or Apocalypse Now, or Full Metal Jacket? What we did get was the literally fascist American Sniper, an ode to a fantasist who…

In the meantime it’s been funny so far watching how his early reign has given succour both to Northern Ireland’s Irish nationalists (he seems to like their leader more than the…

Royalty’s always been pretty popular with a lot of Americans because it isn’t taken so seriously when it’s just another type of celebrity.
