What a thrill to finally share my piece on two of my favorite games: Snake Eater & Guns of the Patriots. I interrogate how Kojima shows us cyclical violent worlds but still attempts to guide us toward non-violence (in sometimes questionable ways).

- It is legal to organize and fund protest.
- That someone organizes and funds promotion of a protest does not mean most, some, or any protesters are paid.
- Even if all protesters are paid, that is also legal
- It is good to oppose kings and fascism
- That's not what what "begs the question" means

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Nobuo Uematsu says the Final Fantasy main theme reached its ultimate form by Final Fantasy VIII

Up until then he had been working on parts of the main theme bit by bit with each release. He says by FF8 it reached a form he could call complete!

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

Diane Keaton at The Schwab’s Pharmacy counter in 1983.

Farewell to one cinema's greatest legends Can’t believe we’ve lost her. Such a shock. Rest in peace Diane Keaton. “La-dee-da, la-dee-da” forever.

S/o to the time my roommates and I recovered an old subway billboard for Morning Glory, cut out the headshots, and kept Diane Keaton in our freezer for years.

Thankful that just three years ago I was able to write about how much I loved her and especially her late career choices that many people judged. RIP Diane. You stayed true to you to the very end. Glad you got to sing like you always wanted before the end.

What Makes This Goofy-Era Diane Keaton So Appealing?

The prestige actress now does movies like “Poms,” “Book Club” and the “Freaky Friday”-esque “Mack & Rita.” It’s so cringey. But why does it make us love her even more?

Walked out of a movie to news of Diane Keaton passing away and I don’t even know what to say. One of the most important actresses to me personally, someone whose career and style has influenced my own deeply. We were so lucky to have her.
