Watched this again for Halloween and I still am fascinated by it. There's something tantalizingly out of reach for me in wanting to write about this, about it's barely disguised version of Trump as the first victim, as a secret key film to view the collapse of American empire through.
Tonight's watch, Wolfen (1981). A coked up slurry that seems to anticipate the British invasion comics with meaty ideas about urban renewal as violence, colonization as self inflicted psychosis, cultural appreciation veering into cultural insensitivity, and tech panopticons. Shade the Changing Wolf.

At least 13 people are charged with "assaulting" or "impeding" a federal agent in Trump's DC takeover.
In several cases, what look like routine police scuffles have turned into federal cases carrying up to 8 yrs prison.
The cases are "horseshit," an attorney said.
