I was going to suggest watching a good disaster film to wash the taste away but I can't think of any.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
Poseidon Adventure--the original version.

BWAHAHAHA! OMG, that's hilariously awful. For me, since I didn't have to sit through it.
Is anyone planning to see RiffTrax LIVE: Reefer Madness?
I miss Brandon Lee as The Crow. I think the idea of a remake is stupid. It's a story idea where you can have infinite Crows.
For some reason, Brandon Lee and Heath Ledger are in similar not-yet-over categories for me. Not sure why. But it's going to be a long time before I can happily stomach a new Joker either.

for me, maybe forever.

I haven't gone back to watch Ledger's Joker since I saw it on the big screen, but I've seen The Crow probably half a dozen times in the last three years, and Lee is so, so, so good. Layered and nuanced and deeply felt and thoughtful and balls-out over the top (but exquisitely controlled at the same time). He's a great Crow, and it's such a great performance on so many levels that it makes me infinitely sad that we won't get to see what else he could do with all those gifts.
And, Nick Cave, splendid, but I just don't need any more Crows. Brandon Lee is utterly, superlatively it.

And it's eighty seven MILLION hours long. It's so slow and plodding. How can a disaster movie about the end of the world be THAT FRIGGIN BORING!?!?!?
Ahem. It's seems I have a shiny new hate toy.
Ok, hivemind, I need help with some prep.
I'm doing lesson plans for Jr Hi, and we're studying Judaism. For one of the lessons, we're going to discuss antisemitism. I'm looking for examples (preferably on film) historical antisemitism (either the film itself is antisemetic, or portraying historical antisemitism).
I'm also looking for film examples of contemporary Jewish stereotypes.
