Everything you need to know about his films. Ah well, maybe there are some background and production details you might want to know that are not here, but you get the point.

The best of the three. If the first was an objetive look at the reality of war, the second was more sociological study on men becoming part of that reality, then this is about a subjective experience of a soldier.

Darth Brutus voted for a review of Avatar: The Way of Water
“Painfully mediocre and bland, everything that is told in this movie has been thousand of times in oher movies, with the same characters, with the same”

Strangely, even though this film is three and half hours long, it doesn't feel like it at all.

Just what I expected. This book is all about fancy talk and very little substance. The arguments are superficial and childish, even though the author tries to imply that the traditional economy is somewhat dated and wrong by the cliche "it's the current year" argument and throwing some empty "positivist" labels and few basic points about economic modeling. But it's mostly just vague and abstract wordplay and rhetorics with little to no substance to it, no mathematic models or even proper arguments against the old "positivist" way of thinking.
Now here's my point: back when I studied this shit they straight up told us that the economic theory is mostly mathematics these days, and pure mathematicians more or less rule this field. The reason it's all about mathematics is because of measurability and controllability, with math you can effectively model shit and optimize the outcome any way you want, and measurability means you can actually measure what you're doing and actually tell accurately what's happening or if your model even fucking works. With this kind of humanistic nonsense none of that works, and trying to appy this garbage in real life will just end up in total chaos like the one we're currently facing right now.
Doesn't really have much to do with my criticism, but as far as I have read, the author isn't any big shot economist anyway. Going to an university or graduating isn't that big of a miracle these days, so I wouldn't let the label fool me unless there's some really hard ass merits and papers to prove the actual competence.
Fuck all politicians. Kill them all.
