...primaries in a landscape transformed by the tea-party movement. And there's a fine line with swing voters between being perceived as saving America from Obama's supposedly socialist agenda and blocking job-saving and - in the case of health care - life-saving legislation for the sake of pure politics...
...Kurosawa's Yojimbo and the Zatoichi blind-swordsman series - all of which fed on, and in turn fed, the Hollywood notion of solitary, preternatural machismo.
