Social, cultural, political and economic analysis and critique is great as far as it goes. It helps me understand the world in which I live and do the things I do. And then what?
THE BLACK HOLE is the most bizarre and disturbing Disney movie of all time. The fact that it got made and marketed to children says something about mass media culture in the late '70s.
"And I could go on to notice how the American system of power has the advantage of not being a centralized hierarchy of authoritarian power. It’s more like mafia families (i.e. corporations and the most wealthy actual families) who both cooperate and compete with each other to protect and enhance their own influence."
"Everything in America has its own mafia." --Eduard Limonov, HIS BUTLER'S STORY (1987).

Hi @Koshmarov, knowing you're into lit, the episode I mentioned in Aug will be published Friday: https://gasgiants.substack.com/p/coming-up-this-friday-feb-11
It's high time I read the trilogy. Gotta finish The Loser (Thomas Bernhard) for a pod ep first.
It's a very odd movie. Disney's answer to Star Wars!? That's a head scratcher. Good John Barry score!
