The streak ends.

The Killing.

Naturally the server farm burned down, after the new lieutenant sat on the warrants. 

Holder's out of control, needs to talk to his sponsor.

Stan is most definitely getting mobbed the fuck back up.

Holy shit, they're Janek's servers.
They didn't burn because the cops were close.  They were burned because Stan was close.

Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads, the movie- I never much cared for the series but the film was quite a fun little piece of nostalgia. Yes. I feel nostalgia for a time I never lived in. My upbringing must have been odd.

The Social Network- Surprisingly good given the dull subject matter. Though I thought the Facebook guy had a Chinese girl friend all through uni? I wish I knew how to do web programming...

Watched the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, pretty damn good I think.

[Josquius]

I heard that was good and tried to watch it but I just couldn't see past it being a kid's cartoon.

It becomes steadily more mature as the season goes on.

Still, it is for kids, but how is that different then Pixar movies or most anime? Some things aimed for kids are good for all ages.

Titanic (1943)

On French state TV (Cinéma de Minuit), at last a proper use of taxpayer money!

Honest and dutiful German (First officer Petersen) tries to save the ship from the intrigues-ridden world of British plutocracy and Jewish greed (Ismay). SPOILER : British arrogance provokes a disaster...

Much less pathos than Cameron's version as well. Some subplots borrowed or inspired to James as well.
Much better than paying 10 euros to watch a 3d version.
Some shots were recycled in a Night to Remember as well.
Less propaganda or at least, more subtle than in Jud Süss

PS: was also screened on Easter Monday in Frankfurt at the Deutsches Film Museum

Can't escape the 100th anniversary of the sinking... It was scheduled for months anyways.

Yes, but there are lots of Titanic movies which don't have Joseph Göbbels as Executive Producer.

On that note, I'm reading Piers Paul Read's latest, The Dreyfus Affair.  Holy shit, those Frenchies fucking hated the Jews.  Wow.

Read Eco's latest, The Prague Cemetery....he really gets into that whole Dreyfus affair thing.

I got thru to half of the 2nd & then I couldn't deal with kids stuff. Hopefully, the new series will be more mature.

Heh.  Past tense.
