An Honest Ghost: Kurosawa's “Cloud” reviewed
The cinema of homo economicus ends where it began: in a hell of our own making.
Rear projection is much older than cinema. Beginning in the late eighteenth century and reaching a peak of immense popularity in the nineteenth—the era of early industrialization—rear projection, in the form of the magic lantern, was used to display moving images of demons, monsters and ghosts, in evening presentations called phantasmagorias. When Marx wrote of a “phantasmagoric form,” this was the reference he was conjuring. His metaphor therefore linked the dark illusions of cinema’s prehistory to the dark operations capitalism was carrying out on the relations between men. With Kurosawa’s film, the metaphor comes full circle. The cinema of homo economicus ends where it began: in a hell of our own making.

The Bad Batch season 3 finale

Couldn't find a "TV" or "television" comm (which we need).
What did everyone think of the finale? I liked it! Finally, a good ending for once. Great stuff, good ending. Just what I wanted.
And it ended logically too.
Of course, this is a later set-up for Thrawn.
We got no Palpatine in the end there.
Lots of impressive shots from the cinematography. Well-done angles there.
Glad Omega became a pilot for the Rebel Allliance.
At least some people get their happy ending in the end in this galaxy.
Too much war and too much "dark times."
We need good stuff happening for once, otherwise what they fight for is worthless.

The Green Knight
I can see why some people didn't get into The Green Knight but I love it. I also love The Canterbury Tales and of course A Knight's Tale.
I donno if anyone else got this out of the film but I saw it as a portrayal of the other side of the Golden Rule that I feel that philosophies and society fail to acknowledge.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
