Christopher Nolan, one of my favorite living directors, is now working on a movie of the Odyssey, to be released next summer. Frankly, everything I am hearing about it fills me with dread, especially the cast full of Africans. I may just skip reviewing it. I may skip it altogether. But just in case, I have been preparing by rereading the Odyssey and surveying other adaptations. (more…)

Toxicity Report
The semiotics of anti-white racism has already been around so long it has become pervasively familiar. Take the BBC’s coverage of Finland, as the skinny Scandinavian country was recently voted the world’s happiest country for the eighth year in succession. I’ve been to Finland, and that is one white country. (more…)

There has been a lot of angry ink spilled over Disney’s new racial reimagining of Snow White as No White this past week. The classic fairy tale heroine with “skin as white as snow” has been recast in the studio’s latest deliberately unwatchable movie as an angry Marxist mestizo who earned her soubriquet from being born in a severe snowstorm instead.

Netflix has released a new adaptation of Il Gattopardo (The Leopard), the 1958 novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa about a noble Sicilian family living through the tumultuous era of Italian unification. The first and most famous depiction of The Leopard was Luchino Visconti’s 1963 film, starring Burt Lancaster and Alain Delon. (more…)

While their films couldn’t possibly be more different, David Lynch and Robert Eggers seem to have one thing in common: making movies by, for, and about whites without being explicit white advocates themselves. From Eraserhead (1977) to Inland Empire (2006), Lynch’s movies abound with whiteness, from the casting choices to the detailed examination of life in the suburbs to not even having the occasional nod towards black “culture” or worship like you will see with many mainstream directors today. When blacks do show up in Lynch’s movies, they tend to be either irrelevant to the plot or downright antagonistic. (more…)

I’m sure that Dissident Right interest in the latest distaff-themed, PG-rated musical hitting the cinemas is fairly tepid. If there is interest at all, it may be in how Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: Part 1, which was adapted from the musical Wicked, ranks on Spencer J. Quinn’s famous cringe scale. Does this fabulous monstrosity achieve a skin-crawling, apocalyptic 10? Or a refreshingly banal goose egg? (more…)

I’ve been involved in theater off and on for over forty years, acting, writing, and not succeeding at it in any worldly terms. I’m an okay character actor, I’ve written good plays that are considered well-written, literate, humorous, and that no one wants to put on. (more…)

Raw, analog interfaces and whirring computers, primitive digital readouts, clicking binary code, churning cogitators, and flashing buttons. Eerie red light transfusing a zero-gravity space, the silent cockpit of a spaceship, and the white lights of the Mother artificial intelligence mainframe room. The tortured, dying machines of the analog age. (more…)

Dependence Day
Rishi Sunak, Britain’s diminutive Hindu Prime Minister, has named the date of the British General Election, and it will fall on American Independence Day. In Britain, of course, this would have to be re-christened Dependence Day as, in line with all European states and globalist requirements, dependence is what the state wishes to see in its citizenry.

English football fans in Europe during the 1980s and ‘90s were not ambassadors either for the British game or Britain itself. Increasingly cheap flights across Europe meant that vast numbers of fat, pasty, sweaty, bald or balding men were able to enjoy spoiling the afternoons of those wishing to use cafés and bars in Portugal, or France, or Malta.
Whenever England or a top English side played in Europe, a town square somewhere would soon fill with beer bellies on shirtless, gross, and grubby torsos. (more…)

My young heart suddenly sank like Ted Kennedy’s car at Chappaquiddick on November 18, 1978. I discovered that the Star Wars Holiday Special was being shown on TV — but that it had aired the day before! (more…)

Jacques Derrida remarks that Hegel compared words used over time with coins whose inscriptions wear away with use, ultimately leaving two blank and valueless faces signifying nothing. Words change their meaning, certainly, but they also lose meaning through overuse. Our most obvious contemporary example is the word “racism.”
Racism is a perfectly natural response to the “Other” the hard ideological Left like to parade around like a show pony. It is hardwired into us and is a protective reaction, it being an evolutionary advantage to be with those like yourself, and is why from canteens in high school to canteens in penitentiaries, blacks will always sit with other blacks and whites with other whites.
