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.
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.

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.
Supposedly, there's bidding going on by Hollywood studios to turn Pride and Prejudice and Zombies into a movie....
Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice revamped as zombie slayer novel
I will totally watch that.
Yesterday's Something Positive is right up our alley.
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!
Oh yeah, I read about that. It's done in an '80s, 8-bit style, right?
Yep. It's awesomely addictive.
