Oh, sure. Meanwhile we have to test all the crappy shows.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

from imdb

quote:
Although this movie was banned in all occupied countries by the Nazis, it was screened once to a German audience. In the occupied Balkan, members of a resistance-group switched the reels in a military cinema and replaced a comedic opera by a copy of "The Great Dictator" which they received from Greece. So a group of German soldiers enjoyed a screening of "The Great Dictator". Some left the cinema after they recognized it and some where even reported to shoot at the screen.

Stupids. Didn't they realize they should have shot the projector?

It's a great film, and Chaplin's speech at the end is one of film's all-time greatest moments.

It would've been better silent though.
I don't think Chaplin was ever designed to be in talkies.

Tired of ads?

I saw an episode of Dark Angel once. Once.

Thought it was some of the worst acting and dialogue I'd seen on TV since Baywatch. Then I learned it was a Cameron project, so it all made sense.

Perhaps there should be a committe for poly banners... to make sure this doesn't happen again.



As for the hitler stuff, Mel Brooks said (somthing to the effect), the way to beat hitler is to make fun of him. THe Great Dictator and the producers hit that on the mark (Dur Fuher's Face is one of my favorite songs from Spike Jones).

Markos suggestion didn't have that element in it (if it did, we all missed it). The bush/clinton banners had humor to them, same with the kitten banner.

The banner for buy poly and the dog kills UBL WOULD achieve this humor, thus being marketable.


I'm sure everyone sees my point.

Yes. I think all of 2 people took the bit and ran with it in an acceptable way. I like the head chewing puppy.

However, that doesn't diminish the fact that the wound is still raw for a number of people. I can't blame them.

Yes well you're gay so there is no reason why the show would appeal to you since it is essentially a heterosexual love story

Hmm, I find this comment a lot more offensive than Markos' attempt at levity at the expense of OBL. A vicious personal attack out of nowhere... I don't get it. But I'm just a hick from Tennessee who doesn't feel the weight of those worldly issues on my shoulder. I'm so NOT cosmopolitan. I can't believe I am thinking about quoting the great pacifist himself, Rodney King...
