No person with the slightest familiarity with the plot of Orwell's "1984" would recognize either the Republicans or Democrats in that novel.

Yeah, the Soviet Union was just some goofball, right-wing fantasy, whereas the Fascist Imperium of Christ is a deadly serious regime that people of goodwill must contend with constantly. I mean, it should be clear to all that your personal ideological boogeymen are a much greater threat than some mere piffling trifle…

"…there’s this nasty undercurrent of nihilism running under everything, like this is the lot of all people with the temerity to try and cast aside a dictatorship. Is De Cruz supposed to be a good guy, somehow?"

Pedophilia is indeed disgusting. Do you usually obsess over disgusting things?

Fear and respect are not identical.

But that liberal-Baby Boomer propaganda miasma we were born & raised under, where we were all intended to inculcate the feelings & prejuidices of people born in 1949, was extremely effective.

But just because she benefits from nepotism (within the context of an EXTREMELY competitive field, no less), that doesn't mean she isn't one of…

Kubrick was great until his death, BUT he did all his best films in the 1950s & 60s. I mean, seriously, "Paths of Glory," "The Killing," Spartacus," "Lolita" "Dr. Strangelove," and "2001: A Space Odyssey?" Kinda makes "The Shining" and "Full Metal Jacket" look like small beer.
