I remember when Schindler's List came out, Time Magazine (I think) did a poll. I forget the exact numbers, but they were scary. A sliver though the Holocaust didn't happen at all, a larger group thought the number was exaggerated, and about a fourth simply didn't know about the Holocaust at all.
20 years later, I'm guessing the numbers would be different, and that's in large part thanks to Schindler's List. However: I strongly feel there have been too many "Holocaust" films in the intervening years, and this has "desensitized" many people's response to the event. Academics are calling this "Holocaust Fatigue." Which is why the otherwise decent demonrail666 thought it was okay to make a sick, neg-rep worthy pun at the expense of victims. I wonder what would happen if for the next decade or so there were a bunch of "slavery" films released every year? Soon enough, I bet it'd become a punchline. |

i don't think the holocaust is funny at all but demonio's joke made me laugh though-- because it was about hitchcock.

i would never have gone with it by its title, but caught silver linings playbook on a hotel tv (amazing, all those channels, nothing to watch but commercials).
ANYWAY-- pretty good. then i realized it was fucking david o. russell who directed. he's pretty great-- not the best ever but yes. good. |

Senor demonrail's zinger made me groan audibly over here (hence my reply), but he certainly isn't the second coming of Richard Edmonds or what have you. In fact, if anyone went up to him offline with Holocaust "jokes" ahoy, he'd whack them upside the head with the nearest heavy book to hand, then tell them to fuck off. Hope that maked things clear to all you SYG-ers. (Incidentally, I hear tell that demonrail's currently heavily at work on the definitve bigoraphy of the late film critic/lecturer/all-round "character" Ray Durgant. Apparently he's up to the bit where Durgant punches out Mick Farren at the UFO Club in 1967, after Farren tried to steal Durgant's girlfriend under the pretext of having her "produce the second Deviants album". And this after Durgnat had helped himself to Syd Barrett's rider (a barrel of Watney's Party Seven bitter and packet of Salt 'N' Shake crisps), and tried to drag the resident UFO DJ away from his booth, after said DJ played The Yardbirds' "Ha Ha Said The Clown". More details as I find out about them!)

![]() This was much better than I was expecting - the plot moves along very well, there's some very funny moments along the way, and Di Caprio has a fair bit of presence in this. My only quibble is the lack of a solidly strong female role here (Di Caprio's 2nd wife begins to get there towards the end, but a lot more could have been done with her), but otherwise this is a solid effort from Scorsese. Didn't realise how long it was going to be, though!

![]() Much better than Stallone's Dredd. I thought it captured a lot of what the comic was. hyper violent.

Two cinema visits for me yesterday - first up was this:
![]() As other SYG-ers have already said, this is a powerful, outstanding and very affecting film. Not as relentlessly violent as I thought it might be, but still with plenty of uncomfortable scenes on offer, and a film that leaves you with much to think about. I really want to see more Steve McQueen films on the strength of this.

And the second cinema visit up was for this:
![]() Basically a rehash of the themes and ideas already covered by "The Blair Witch Project" and "The Last Broadcast". Shot on digital video, and with an all-amateur cast, this was a deeply predictable and disappointing film, though it did have a couple of entertaining moments to break up the boredom. Not one I would recommend to followers of horror film, unless you're a fan of the barrel-scraping end of Jesus Franco's oeuvre.
