Well, that wasn’t my intent, but I see it was unclear why I posted that clip. Ever since people started using “Daesh” for what is (still) commonly called ISIS, I would get weird deja vu whenever I heard it, and I think after reading “Daesh” and “young men blowing shit up” it finally clicked (that clip is actually unrelated to terrorism, in the film both characters are US agents).
Yes, I was meandering on a riff. Recently I was discussing with someone how aspects of popular culture seem to predict or prefigure world events (there are some weird conspiracy theories around 9/11 based on this)-- something about an Arab character named “Desh” who sets off a bomb just prodded my brain a funny way.
