On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discussed the announcement that a Melania Trump documentary is in the works with director Brett Ratner for Prime Video. (No, this is not Mad Libs.) Then they reviewed Nosferatu, Robert Eggers’s remake of the 1922 silent film by F.W. Murnau. Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ on Friday for a bonus episode about the vampyr. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!
Are you KIDDING ME with your non/controversy re Melania doc without ONCE mentioning that it's a back-door bribe from Jeff Bezos - who overpaid by at least 10X - to the Trump family?? And Alyssa treating it as if it would have some serious cultural impact when it's a joke to any but the most red-pilled! C'mon, guys. You're with The Bulwark for heaven's sake! Get the context correct.
You should also check out Near Dark (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093605/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk). It stars a young cocky Bill Paxton as the young cocky murderous vampire, part of a Winnebago traveling family of vampires.
I am going to have to watch this a couple of more times, so much going on in each frame. I loved every performance especially Dafoe, I noticed he is like the shortest person in every shot he is constantly looking upward.
I liked the movie a lot. Especially the editing and cinematography. Defoe is always a masterclass. My wife on the other hand did not. She felt it too dark and gloomy even though she did appreciate the same things I did regarding the skilled film making. She was also unsettled that the message of sexual assault regarding womens ability to fight it was for them to be raped again.
