'Hammett' (1982): The Zoetrope Dream That Became a Hollywood Nightmare

Did You Ever Hear...?
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? How about the Tale of the Three Brothers? Perhaps the myth of Te Fiti rings a bell? Or maybe you have heard the song of Beren and Lúthien sung into the night sky? Chances are, you have heard at least one of them. What is certain, however, is that you have never heard it alone. Even when by yourself, you have always heard these stories in the company of the characters they were being told to — the same characters, whose own myths you were watching unfold. And thus, the line between fiction, reality, myth and history begins to blur.

The Real Reason I Stopped Loving BBC’s Sherlock
The Paradox of the Grand Council: The Emperor Present, the Institution Absent In the seventh year of Yongzheng, war with the Dzungars in the northwest was pressing. Yongzheng established the Grand Council, originally the Military Planning Office. It had no formal office, no fixed membership, and no independent authority. Grand councillors were appointed by the emperor from grand secretaries, ministers, and vice ministers. Their work was to receive edicts, draft edicts, deliberate, and supervise implementation. The Grand Council bypassed the outer court and connected directly to the emperor. Memorials came in. Vermilion rescripts went out. Court letters went straight to provincial governors. It was fast, secret, and controlled.
