Admiral Yi

Speaking of A Bridge Too Far, can that movie be shown in Germany (with the SS uniforms and all)?  Is it shown in Germany?  How about Ryan's Privates?

Watched Dark Knight (speaking of which...) again last night on DvD.

I thought it was excellent, actually.

I saw it for the first time today.  I enjoyed it.  I liked they didn't kill off Batman's best villian.  To bad the actor decided to do that anyway.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No problem, protected under artistic freedom; a German satricial magazine has Hitler/Swastika covers about two or three times per year on average. When there was an incident with a well known German actor raving about foreigners (or black? I forget), they made this cover:


When Germany joined the air attacks against Serbia they had Schröder and Fischer in Nazi uniforms on their front page.

Swastikas in historical documentations are also ok. Memorabilia and games are not covered by the above.

I thought his overdose was accidental.

question:

Does anyone remember a movie that was about a battle in North Africa, where the allies were guarding a village that had the only source of water in the area.

I was this movie in the 90's when I was a kid so I don't know how old this movie is. Does anyone know it?

Could it be this one?

Sahara a made for tv movie with James Belushi. I remember seeing myself in the 90ties.

I watched The City of Embers.  Post apocalypse movie about an underground city built to keep the last of humanity alive, but the inhabitants have lost all knowledge of the outside world and their city is beginning to fall apart.  Pretty good, too bad it lost about $40 million dollars at the box office, so not likely to see a sequel.

I watched Moon tonight. It's a great low budget (but doesn't look it) science fiction film created and directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son).
It's well worth watching even if you're not a big fan of Sci-fi.

Darth Wagtaros

PDH!

Watched "Watchmen: Director's cut"... not really an improvement, but not a big detriment other than the pacing slows the last hour. The movie is still a solid film imo, but doesn't have as much bite as the first in theatre viewing.

Solid comic movie. Decent adaptation of very deep material

The Spirit.  Watchable.  Visually pretty, story was kind of crap.  I wasn't a fan of the modern setting either.  It doesn't work  for me.

The 300 spartans

It was okay... 6 part time extras/waiters dressed up to look like spartan soldiers out of 10

Barely watchable.

Seaon 2 of remastered Star Trek. Currently at "Doomsday Machine". I always thought it was a good episode with very crappy effetcs for what it wanted to do. This is now so much better.

They really managed to preserve a 60s look/feel to the effects. If only Lucas had done the same for Star Wars: SE.
