TV/Movies Megathread

Jews don't care about making money. Why else would they be so obsessed with ruling the world?

The worst part of Love, Actually is that none of the actively shitty people in it die.

Watched my two blind buys from the Criterion sale.  My faith was: rewarded.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970).  Loved, loved, loved its dark absurdity.  Did not like how it became a Choose Your Own Adventure story in the last thirty seconds.

Rififi (1955).  This movie doesn't like women very much.   Otherwise, a pretty great noir built around a complex, thrilling, yet almost-silent jewelry store burglary.  It's easy to see why it's the reference for all heist films.  Pity Topkapi isn't on blu-ray, I'd buy it blind too.  "What the fuck is that umbrella for?" I asked.  Then I knew.

I'm about to watch In the Mood For Love, which is appropriate as it is sad.

(That was pretty close to a blind buy--haven't seen it in about seven, eight years. )

Oh, I also got Thief and Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, the latter of which I'd been wanting for-ever.  Maybe it's not in my top 10, but it's always definitely been in my top 20.

Absolutely worthwhile.

If the object of Jewish execs was to make money Stiller has been a very good choice 

It was not.  Rather it was to sexy up the Jewish brand.

And Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998).  We've all seen it, we all know it's a fancifully bleak adventure into the counterculture in its most pronounced state of decadence, as well as a miracle of production design and subjective filmmaking.  So no need to dwell.

A+

'Jack Ryan - Shadow bullshit/whatever' - a piece of crap.

One of the best film reviews by Ideologue ever.

[CountDeMoney]

IFC shows old "Batman" TV show reruns on Saturday mornings, so campy and fun.

Just caught this gem of a scene with a Colonel Klink cameo:

It's Blade Runner meets Firefly with the opening credits from Archer.
