The International (2009) review

https://sisterrose.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/the-international-movie-poster-12.jpg Rated: 4 / 5 "The truth means responsibility!""Exactly! Which is why everyone dreads it!" Films like these are how I know cinema didn't truly start dying until at least 2012. Sure there were the signs of decay with the unofficial banning (official blacklisting) of The Path to 9/11, but that was Disney being censorious … Continue reading The International (2009) review

Favorite Movie Shootout Scenes

Title should be self evident. These are my favorite shootouts in film history. And by shootouts, I mean there needs to be bullets flying everywhere and decimating both the flesh and the walls/doors/cars/glass. And what is it about them that makes them the best? Well, if it makes me want to watch them more than … Continue reading Favorite Movie Shootout Scenes

Thoughts on Mein Kampf Chapter 2 (part 1)

Part 1 Obstacles are placed in our path in life, not to defeat us but to be surmounted. -- p.73 More pages and density with this chapter.  So much so that I can't do my usual "quote every significant paragraph I see" method and comment on it.  I'm going to have to resort to the … Continue reading Thoughts on Mein Kampf Chapter 2 (part 1)

Thoughts on Mein Kampf Chapter 1

Introduction Yep, I'm doing this.  I've been catching a lot of flack from guys who hate Hitler and the Nazis and white nationalists about not reading Mein Kampf, while they themselves have read it.  Guess that's like claiming to be a Christian without having read the Bible (or at least the New Testament), or a … Continue reading Thoughts on Mein Kampf Chapter 1

Holocaust Twitter Wars part 3: Poland Provocation, FDR, Territory Grabs, and the Cause for Deaths at the Camps

Part 1.  Part 2. Did Poland Provoke Germany into a War? Nathan C @NathanAngelus Hitler started the war in 1939. Nobody, be they random Jewish private citizens or the Major World powers, provoked Hitler. Deal with it and stop making things up. I call bullshit. Poland provoked Hitler. Hate to get involved in this sort … Continue reading Holocaust Twitter Wars part 3: Poland Provocation, FDR, Territory Grabs, and the Cause for Deaths at the Camps

Holocaust Twitter Wars part 2: Boycotts and Reparations

See part 1 to know the context of this whole discussion. Anyway, this was the one that definitely had major back and forth. Notes on the Boycott on Germany JK8675309 @12841chelmno How is a boycott a declaration of war? And what was “Judea” in 1933? How many tanks, planes, what size were it’s armies? Yet … Continue reading Holocaust Twitter Wars part 2: Boycotts and Reparations

Holocaust Twitter Wars part 1: Anne Frankly Torture is Offensive

Thus began the twitter war I got myself into regarding the Holocaust.  I just can't help myself.  I just wasn't expecting this to be a long drawn out thing with two other primary users.  That of NathanAngelus (the horse's ass), and 12841chelmno.  And, finally, I got some serious competition for revisionist history.  In that I … Continue reading Holocaust Twitter Wars part 1: Anne Frankly Torture is Offensive

XCOM 2 (2016) review (w/ expansion)

Rated: 3. 5 / 5 Now this is more like it.  Is it as good as the original X-COM from 1994?  Hell no, nothing is.  But it's definitely a better game than the previous attempt from 2012.  Especially with the War of the Chosen expansion. What improvements does this make compared to the last one?  … Continue reading XCOM 2 (2016) review (w/ expansion)

Half-Drunk review of The Most Fucked Up Kid Flick Ever Made

So I'm reasonably blasted right now.  Pretty sure I'd send my liver into a seizure if I drank anymore booze. ... Oh, who am I kidding?  I could probably gulp down a few more shots and just be fucking dandy.  I just re-experienced a fucked up kid flick from my childhood.  Back in the early … Continue reading Half-Drunk review of The Most Fucked Up Kid Flick Ever Made
