It's really great.

Buscemi as Khruschev is a riot. Jason Isaacs steals the show as Zhukov. Malenkov is appropriately out of his element. Palin as Molotov is softly sympathetic. Beria is the monster he should be.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Best comedy with a child rapist as a main character.
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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Mad Max: Fury Road

Hadn't tried watching it until now...it took just the first few minutes/opening sequence to make it clear I wasn't interested in watching it any further.

But besides that the Stalinist regime was gold.

WTF!? Fury road is probably the best action movie of this century.
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.

The Death of Stalin was both hilarious and had a happy ending.

Really enjoyed this. I can't think of anything by Iannucci which isn't brilliant.

Just watched The Young Offenders sitcom. Very good Irish comedy. Been a while since there was a decent one.

hot chicks plus rough tough guy flee the villain. Then they turn around, kill the villain, and make everything good.

How can anyone hype this B movie I have no idea.

I guess if you want to reduce a movie like that, you're not going to enjoy much of anything.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.
