It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Platoon over that movie that should have been so much better.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Dude, Stalingrad kinda sucked.
I'm in a better mood now, so stop trying to provoke me.  :mad:

Must have been a good seven minutes you just had.
I was angered by a hapless RPG programmer who assumed that a data export would connect under my username rather than the username assigned to the app that does the freaking exports, even though the latter is stamped all over the import and change logs like thousands of times daily.

The soldiers of the 6th Army agree. The movie was good, though.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

All the shitty movies on that list and you put it up against one that deserves to be there???
All I know is that Stalingrad definitely needs to be there.  The scene where the Germans are throwing around and slapping the Russian whore who keeps mockingly spreading her legs and saying, "When will you faggots fuck me?" is an all-time classic.

Female nudity? Yes, no?

I don't think she was nude, no.  IIRC she was actually wearing some sort of fur overcoat and parts of a German uniform during the scene.

They didn't even try to rape her.  I think it was implied that she'd been raped alot (so I guess she was less of a whore than a sex slave), but the scene was toward the end of the movie and I think she wanted the Germans she was staying with to kill her, but they were so apathetic they didn't want to do that, much less fuck her.  I think they all got drunk together and just kinda chilled.  The obvious point of the scene was to show that the seige was nearly over and the Germans had given up caring about life.

You know what film has a GREAT rape scene?  The Entity :perv:
