Totally get this point. We have so little middlebrow fair with aspirations these days that one blockbuster has to scaffold The Discourse rather than a dozen such films in a given year

Even though i only like one of these things i love the energy behind it

Yea and that one has been picked up plenty of interesting academic treatments

I mean Reagan doesn't make any fucking sense if you try to read for depth! Readers Digest-ass president. Have to check it out

Biggest combo is nukes + economic interdependence
