					<description><![CDATA[There were two versions of this movie (1951 and a 2008 remake). We’ll focus on the first, but won’t ignore the second. A natural question to ask is “How could a movie made 75 years ago possibly predict the future?” George Orwell proved with his book 1984, published in 1949, that fiction can predict the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; While preparing, with Art Olivier, a unique article about 9/11, I again divert briefly into classic Hollywood. In early 2025, I wrote a post about the egregious discrimination that the 1951 Bible-era epic Quo Vadis received at the Academy Awards (0 wins out of 8 nominations) vs. 1959’s Ben Hur (11 wins out of [&#8230;]]]></description>

Am I playing a fiddle while Rome burns? Frankly, I’m amazed at how many alt-media [&#8230;]]]></description>

I also realize that much of what I say will be Greek to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Perhaps a better title for this post would have been “A Tale of Two Clint Eastwoods,” but I’m no Eastwood expert. I know he’s done quite a bit of directing as well as acting over recent decades, and I haven’t kept up with his work. That’s because I rarely watch modern films, since Hollywood has [&#8230;]]]></description>

In doing so, I learned, for the first time, of a 2012 movie about 9/11 that I’d never heard of—Operation Terror. There are [&#8230;]]]></description>
