Ah, I was there on Saturday.
Oh, the unknown crossings that occur in NYC.
I really like that theater. I saw Slumdog Millionaire there too. I'll kind of miss it when the GF moves out of Park Slope.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Escape from Stobivor
Actually, it's Sobibor--seeing that TV movie got me into researching the Operation Reinhard death camps. The book the movie was based on is really excellent, BTW.
(Schlomo, the young goldsmith, escaped, joined the partisans, then moved to Brazil after the war. In his interview with the author, it is implied that he had something to do with the fact that one of the camp's head honchos, who had been arrested in Brazil in the 1960s but avoided extradition, died violently soon after his release from prison. Leon, the revolt leader played by Alan Arkin, was murdered in a pogrom and didn't live to VE day. The Soviet POW played by Rutger made it back to Russia only to be sent to the gulag simply for surviving the Germans.)

Ah, that Stalin, such a poster child for logic and reasonability.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thank you Kathy. I relied on my spotty memory rather than looking it up, as I should have done. I'm glad you knew to correct it. It's historically important, and should be remembered correctly.

It's depressingly fascinating stuff to research. Due to their uprising, Sobibor had the highest survival rate of the three Reinhard camps--about 50 people survived the war out of the estimated 250,000 who were sent there. Treblinka also had a revolt, so out of the 800,000 (estimated) people sent there, 40 survived. Belzec didn't have a successful revolt, so only two survived out of the million sent there. One of those two was murdered the day after he testified at the war crimes trial after the war.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Supposedly, there's bidding going on by Hollywood studios to turn Pride and Prejudice and Zombies into a movie....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I wasn't sure where to post this - it's a movie tie-in video game based on a comic book so it was kind of a toss up between this thread, Gaming, or Other Media.
In any case, click on the console in the righthand corner to play the Minutemen arcade game!
