Sukhov

He's a famous Finnish ecologist/ environmentalist known for his hatred of technology and industrialization. But really, I was agreeing about Thoreau and the love of the wilderness.

Sarge, you always struck me as more of a Pentti type. On a serious note, I too enjoy Thoreau and Emerson. Some of the best.

Haunted Spooks- this is the one that cost Harold Lloyd two fingers after a prop bomb accidentally exploded.

That site seems awfully, uh.... "Netanyahu-ish"

The Leader- I finished this anime on the life of Marx and I have many thoughts on it. The thing I hated the most about it was the mediocre CGI used most of the time. The traditional 2D anime style that was in the trailer was only used in the most "climactic" scenes. I also think they made the story of his life too stiff and boring when there was a lot of interesting material to work with. Marx, Engels and Jenny are just depicted as very flat and uninteresting. Jenny in particular is basically a set prop even though the anime toted that it was about the love story between Marx and Jenny. As they flee from nation to nation and Karl writes his books, she is depicted as a boring "supportive" woman with no real emotion attached. Also there was not enough action for my taste (for example, it shows them fleeing nation to nation and the gov. spying on them but never really anything "cool" like sword fights that are used in the intro for some reason?). When it does show action it is very laughable like when a Prussian officer aims a gun at Karl who stands firmly against him and of course the officer backs down, as you'd expect! You could see that one coming from miles away. I also didn't like how they didn't go in depth with his opponents in the "Young Hegelians society." I thought that would have been interesting. I did like the story it had to tell and thought it was interesting but I just thought it failed in some key areas that stopped it from becoming a great anime. The soundtrack was very good though. I especially liked the ending theme which is a really catchy pop tune version of the Internationale. To conclude, this story is told in a much better way in "The Young Karl Marx" which I would recommend instead. This one was too crude for me and the animation was not very good. As an aside, I don't know if this was on purpose but this background character from an early episode set in the University of Berlin looks a lot like Marx's philosophic enemy Max Stirner. Now that is a funny easter egg! Come to think of it, I would really prefer a Max Stirner anime.

For me, I have to say the 80s and 90s were the worst era for cars with that terrible "box on wheels" shape. Makes me think of Mickey Rourke's comment from Sin City, where he is describing a 1980s Mercedes. - "Modern cars, they all look like electric shavers."

"Heard he was dead."

My favorite living star is probably Sheryl Lee. Besides TP of course, my favorite role of hers is as the prostitute in the film version of Dostoyevsky's Notes From Underground.

They were the ones that were okay/ weren't Jewish. They were lining up the Catholics first to find the ones who were hiding. Also I agree it is a great film.

All the videos are coming up as "500 Bad Gateway" on my computer. I assume this is also happening for everyone else?

I've come across many foreign films that don't have any information on their IMDB page (just the title) or they don't even have an IMDB page at all. Wikipedia is better sometimes. For example, Wikipedia has a relatively informative page for "The Shore of Salvation" while IMDB's page is virtually blank.

The entire Violent Sh1t series back to back.

real catchy.
