So you liked Downfall, Keith? Unexpected. But very good movie, anyway. Very, very good.

As a war movie, it is superior to Inglorious Basterds. And superior to Defiance, too.

[Lanfear]

I would have never bet on Keith liking Downfall.

[gumby013]

Downfall is way better.

[Junkenstein]

According to the (few) survivors, Bruno Gantz has played Hitler almost perfectly in "Downfall". During the period portrayed in the movie, Hitler was seriously mentally damaged by Alzheimer's Disease, which coupled by his own temper and psychosis (he was also highly paranoid since he was young), turned him into the twitching wreck you see in the movie.

Doctor Fates. HAH! I thought these were ridiculous before, too; maybe all you have to do is appeal to a demographic.

I honestly wonder what it would have been like to grow up with these as just things that you knew, things that didn't seem weird because you'd been hearing them your whole life... Because I believe they don't just go around making up new ones to be hilarious (or maybe they do), it's just slang to them that everyone knows, not like a game to be figured out every time they speak.
I presume.

but downfall was a well made flick, kept my attention while a bit slow..
tries to illustrate how hard it is to accept defeat.

i have to eventually see inglorious bastiches
i'm just not too pumped bout it.

One of the first approaches of italian boys with porn, pre internet, was "porn commercials".

Porn stores made these two-three hour marathons in the middle of the night, where they showed a series of porn clips with almost any explicit content edited out. You could see T&A, long close-ups of orgasming guys (Just like in the Bill Hicks routine about Pay-Per-View) and not that much. Everything badly synced with classic from the 80's ("Africa" by Toto was a recurring one) and sometimes over the top dubbing.

Usually the most daring ones that had a working and un-monitored VCR recorded those, and the vhs became some sort of jerk-off treasure for everyone.

Sniff.... Memories...

ADD: Listening to Myq dissecting cockney made me finally realize one thing: he is The Riddler. (and i cant wait for his damn cd to come out)!

Plus, the editing reminded me about the sketch "Pallies" from Mr Show... ("You Mother-Fruiter! Son of a Chinese Dentist!")
