The ending to this one is really brutal for a 1930s film. Good film. Edit: Just glanced at it and whoops, thought it was the Karloff film. The 41 film is good too though. Very enjoyable.

Opinion to remove John Wayne's name from Orange County Airport

"If you don't care they rename the airport from a cheesy western actor it means you support setting of a "nuclear dirty bomb." Well that's just flawless logic. -

My favorite Katherine Heklmond roles- Time Bandits as Mrs. Ogre and Sam's aging mother with dreams of youth in Brazil "MOTHER! MOTHER!" "Shhhhhhh... Don't call me that. "

This one may not be the most historically accurate. I don't remember Germany being led by a puppet.

Yeah and also his name is Adolf not Will.

Ben Hur - Judah is actually a HIM not a HER

You should write a note about it and leave it at the guy's home. Sign it with another neighbor's name just for good measure.

Violent Sh1t- This low quality German horror film is the epitome of so bad it is good. "Karl the Butcher-Sh1tter" (yes, that is his actual name) goes crazy and kills his mom. Years later, he breaks out of prison to kill again. He uses a chainsaw that isn't even plugged in and his victims are inexplicably covered in ketchup (blood)! This one is so terrible it must be seen to be believed. The script writing is also top notch with such great line readings as "Fu-king dammit sh1t! Sh1t! What am I doing here, anyway? Sh1t! This bullsh1tting job is fu-king me to sh1ts!" This one got four just as bad sequels. Recommended. Ilha das Flores - I decided to check this one out because it is in the Brazilian edition of the 1001 Movies book and is only 13 minutes. It follows the life of a spoiled tomato from being picked to served to discarded in the trash and sent to the garbage island (isle of flowers). This one uses a blend of live action and Monty Python style cut out animation. Meh....

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a26510948/spike-lee-angry-green-book-won-best-picture-oscars/ Spike Lee was 'visibly angry' when Green Book won Best Picture over his movie BlacKkKlansman, apparently There's no hiding emotions here Director Spike Lee scooped up the Academy Award for the Best Adapted Screenplay at last night's Oscars, but missed out on the Best Director and Best Picture categories. The latter of which left him "visibly angry", according to reports, which claim he tried to storm out of the theatre after Green Book nabbed the top spot over his nominated film, BlacKkKlansman.

I liked when the clearly disinterested host sarcastically said "Oh, this is a good one" before announcing the short documentary winner.

The Puppeteer - Omar Sharif was very good in this one. A puppeteer father played by Omar Sharif is estranged from his son who disobeys him at every turn. Politics and personal matters push the two even further apart and the son must think of his family and his friends before going forward. This later film of Omar Sharif is very good and is worth a watch.

RIP. His 1949 film version of the Bernstein musical/ ballet On the Town is one of my favorites. -

Not many people know but he went to an evangelical Tengrism college and originally intended to become a Tengrist priest. It wasn't until much later that he decided on the bloodthirsty warlord route. -
The Parade - This Polish documentary offers a glimpse inside North Korea. The dialogue narrated by Andrzej Fidyk is only what the regime officially approved. Fidyk provides an anti-totalitarian masterpiece in a very clever way. He gives the lines that praise the leadership while the images on screen show the mediocre reality of the situtation. For example, while filming Kim Il Sung's birthplace the narrator mentions how "Kim Il Sung dreamt of destroying the Japanese invaders here as a child." The image on the screen then shows the very mediocre cabin home with the very strict and regulated behavior of the guide as they try to present a not very convincing good portrayal of the place. Because all the dialogue is only what was officially approved the North Korean government was at first supportive of the film and gave it some awards. After they found out it was secretly mocking the nation and was an anti-authoritarian film it was of course banned within the country. Last I checked this one was on YouTube with English subtitles. Good documentary masterpiece and highly recommended.

I thought both of them were horrible but I haven't seen many from this year and they weren't as terrible (or rather so bad it's good because it really, truly is ) as Violent Sh1t. Shocking Dark is up on YouTube but dubbed and it is worth seeing for it's poor quality.
