Rated: 3 / 5 So the actions scenes are great and all, particularly during the last act. The movie is made well, paced well, acted well, it's all well-constructed. In the past I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. Nowadays, the political undertones are too loud for me to ignore for my honed-in senses. … Continue reading The Last Samurai (2003) review

Son of the Morning Star (1991) review
Rated: 4 / 5 Introduction (rant on things we once had in the past, but never will again) You know, I used to think the 90s had jack shit for television when it came to "made for TV movies and miniseries." But then I started thinking how much that changed ever since, I don't know, … Continue reading Son of the Morning Star (1991) review
Thoughts on Mein Kampf Chapter 2 (part 2)
Yeesh, over 3 months since I last visited this subject. Hate leaving loose ends (and occasionally dealing with symptoms). Better late than never. Last time when talking about how the bourgeois wants to avoid the lower classes at all costs, primarily out of finding the idea repellent that they could ever fall back down to … Continue reading Thoughts on Mein Kampf Chapter 2 (part 2)
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 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
Owning up to mistakes regarding WWI and Feminism.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvkBvzpbBPs So I've been in a couple discussions, and I've been shown to be in the wrong in a couple of them. For the sake of introspective, so that I can remind myself to never be too full of myself (it's ok to be a little full of myself, that's what makes this fun), I'll … Continue reading Owning up to mistakes regarding WWI and Feminism.
The Shining (1980) review and analysis
Rated: 4.5 / 5 "I'm sorry to differ with you sir. But *you* are the Caretaker. You have *always* been the Caretaker. I should know sir, I have *always* been here." A lot of people tend to think of this film as a horror movie, or at the very least a thriller. About a family … Continue reading The Shining (1980) review and analysis
Schindler’s List (1993) review
Rated: 2 / 5 Rather than telling a story with universal meaning, however, Spielberg has instead made what can only be called a "Jewish" film; that is, a film by Jews, about Jews, and for Jews to use against non-Jews. -- Greg Raven "It's human nature. 'We'll do this to avoid that.'" "That's what they … Continue reading Schindler’s List (1993) review
