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.

It is brilliant. They don't make'em like that anymore. :(

I'm sure Ide will eventually get to it, after a thoroughly extensive and academic review of the complete works of Eric Roberts.

Goddamn, Jennifer Lawrence even makes a smoking blonde:

Jennifer Lawrence makes a smoking anything.

She seems kinda indistinct to me. Generic. Like she's an average of a lot of women put together.


Compare to, say, Natalie Dormer. There is no possible way to mistake her for someone else.

If the victim is dead, you don't need to worry about keeping a gun on him.

You want the grave dug before he's dead, because you never know when you might need to run off.  Really, if we were good at planning this out we would have dug the grave before taking him to the site.  But, no, we never plan shit out, it's always, "you ask to many questions", or "you don't need to know".
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

Force 10 From Navarone is on.  Great cast, shitty movie.

I did a similar search for Best Movie Nazis, found two interesting and rather disparate lists:  you tell me what you think--

In celebration of El Jefe Maximo's Revolutionary victory over the capitalism today, a list of the most memorable communist villains in movie history: 

http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2012/11/25-most-memorable-communist-villains-movies/

#23 was not a communist villain, he was an anti-Soviet narco trafficer.  :mad:

And they use the picture of a secondary (but truer) commie villain from Red Dawn in the intro pic, then on the actual list it has Col. Bella.  :rolleyes:

The paratrooper guy from the second half of the film is the true commie villain from RD.

The plot of #21 sounds pretty cool.

I think people who rate Red Skull at #2(or in the top 20) need to be slapped.

I'm pretty much in agreement with #1 list.  Except maybe for Redskull.  Despite him being a Nazi, I have trouble actually equating him with a nazi.

Wolf of Wall Street - It really is the financial Goodfellas.  The difference is that the mafia was portrayed as seductive and charming before they killed you.  WoWS just made me want to punch the main character repeatedly in the head.

Questionable stuff on both lists. Red Skull? Seriously? On #1 list Landa should be right under Mengele. #2 list is ok-ish (props for including Strangelove, Chaplin, and The Producers), but putting Toht on #1 on that list? Come on, he's good, but he's not that great compared to others.
