        Wait, isn't this the Foreign Policy thread?
        Addams Family/Values was casting gold. You could tell every actor on that set was having the time of their lives. Plus it spawned one of the greatest pinball games of all time

        Street Fighter II was for his kids - he knew it would probably be his last role and his kids were big fans of the game.

                  What do you guys think of Matt Bai? I'm not a very sophisticated consumer of political writing, but there are times when he seems especially good. Sometimes not so much. His latest column makes some interesting observations about the recent trend in many countries, including here, toward nationalism.

                  But Gaddis told me that he now looks at the Cold War as a kind of brief intermission in the longer drama of world events, which is driven less by heady ideology than by nationalist identity and absolutism.

                  What we’re actually moving toward, in other words, is a continuation of exactly where we had been heading for centuries before the advent of nuclear weapons forced the world to temporarily divide between ideological spheres of influence. We’re going back to the time of czars and kings ensconced behind walls of ethnic pride.

                  “What’s happening now,” Gaddis said, “is a pretty widespread, fast-moving backlash against internationalism.”
