There are moments where I stop and look back at the broken path behind us — potholed with incompetence, arrogance, and ignorance. In my head, the milestones are rough and faded, and pass by in a blur — sun-stained photos hanging limply at roadside memorials. People that didn’t have to die, but who are nonetheless gone in a crash, in a silence, in a breath. … [Read more...] about A year into coronavirus, we’re still counting the dead

John is played by Alden Ehrenreich, who recently played the young Han Solo. In a sense, he's our killer robot, the potential spark that could burn everything down, but despite Ehrenreich's smoldering, the character is something of a cypher. In the first half of the season, John is caught up in by events, storm-tossed by the actions and agendas of others, his motivations as blank as his expression.

Why not? Films became, in the 20th century, the most popular form of storytelling. Spread across dozens of genres and forms, films can be funny or sad, artsy or pedestrian, unabashedly childish or confidently mature. They play on towering screens in Times Square theaters just as well as they do on bedsheets strung from tree to tree in a backyard patio. People who sit at sturdy tables made of exotic woods and drink tiny bottles of electrolyte water invest hundreds of millions of dollars into films, so that they can screen at massive temples across the world where countless strangers spend their afternoons and evenings watching quietly, communally, and in the dark. Films retain a power and cultural capital that many people who publish video games envy. … [Read more...] about Uncharted 4 is the best (and possibly last) game of its kind
