Oliver Hirschbiegel

Downfall: Hitler and the End of the Third Reich is a very difficult but important film. The plot of the movie has Traudl Junge [Alexandra Maria Lara], the final stenographer for Adolf Hitler [Bruno Ganz], telling the story of the Nazi dictator's final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII. Downfall has been nominated for Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.

I just came back from seeing this movie, amazingly realistic something worth seeing.

As not Hollywood as you can get.

Wim Wenders critic on the Downfall (translated from german ... mind the mistakes) (source here)


I found this Hitler too wretched and humane in this movie. In the end it is an unbelievable belittlement of the historic figure Hitler. I don't want to say that Bruno (Ganz) did a bad job playing Hitler, quite the contrary, he did a very good job, as i don't want to reduce to achievement of (Bernd) Eichinger anyway. It is an insane job they accomplished. But however I saw to much of Bruno Ganz, in the end his Hitler became a figure for which i felt pity. I don't know if pity is something to confront the historical figure Hitlers.
I left the movie and thought that now, more than ever, work on mourning for Hitler needs to be done in germany. He can't have been such an old, harmless halfwit. In this movie, so many good germans appeared that i felt dizzy,


I am not very good at translating. so msg me if something does not makes sense.

quickie

btw: some weird movie trivia: Bruno Ganz was considered for the role of Oskar Schindler in Schindlers List (source IMDB). Feels strange now, doesn't it?

I hope a lot of you watched Robot Chicken when it premiered last Sunday. Robot Chicken is going to be the show that breaks Adult Swim to the mainstream. I loved the short sketches such as the Scarecrow getting knifed in the OZ sketch and also the longer sketches like the one where Optimus Prime gets colon cancer.

After the first Austin Powers we all...

John Reed first garnered attention for the book, Snowballs Chance. But for The Whole he is getting what he never knew he wanted, hate from right wing groups.

Great one. This guy is one of the best.

Wow!!!! love Just wow!!!!! This totally made my fucking day!!!!! I always loved Charlie more than Trent. I mean that. I am not just saying that, because I am sad with Trent. If it hadn't been for Charlie I seriously might not have gotten into NIN. It makes me very sad that he won't be in NIN with this upcoming tour. But I know he is doing awesome things on his own. smile

After 30 years in Hollywood Sigourney Weaver has created a filmography that would be the envy of any young ingnue. From Alien to Ghostbusters to three Academy nominations, this beautiful actor has created some of the compelling characters ever.

Her latest is Sandy Travis in Imaginary Heroes written and directed by 25 year old Dan Harris. Imaginary Heroes follows one year in the lives of...

Another nice interview DRE. Too bad more people don't read em.



Sure, this is a random comment, I go right to comments, without reading, just to fit in. Keep the interviews coming.

Village was a nice "boomer" movie, and fits nicely with the rest of the director's films.
You casual "Alien" fans may want to check out the "Alien Quadrilogy" , it is a 9 disc set of everything Alien..

Sigourney Weaver is dead sexy. I've always liked her. Remember the Ghostbusters movies? She was so awesome in those flicks. ^___^



She is as old as my dad... and hotter then any woman on earth... or outter space or any ghostly world...

sorry to all SG ladies for saying this... but it's true...she would be sexy dead, or alive!

There are a few essential books that every SuicideGirl should have. One is Junky by William S. Burroughs, another is The Art of War by Sun Tzu and now the final piece of the puzzle is The Modern Girl's Guide to Life by Jane Buckingham.

While Sun Tzu may teach you that If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the...

Ong-bak star Tony Jaa

Tony Jaa is being touted as the next Jackie Chain or Bruce Lee by both the press and the movie company that is releasing his first movie, Ong-bak. Its no fucking exaggeration! In fact with Bruce Lee dead and Jackie Chan hitting 50 this year, Jaa is the rightful inheritor to that crown. The moves he creates in Ong-bak are like nothing ever seen before...

Yeah, this guys is pretty crazy. He's all over those Chinese channels. I happen to see him perform some stuff on this talk show. He's insane!
agata:
SO much better than Bruce Lee in every single way! Doesnt have the humor aspect of Jakie Chan but thats not such a loss when your staring at the screen like this eeek
Would be great to see them in a film together, more than Chan cameo in Warrior King that is.

Inside Deep Throat directors

I first saw Deep Throat about 15 years ago on grainy bootleg VHS tape [remember those?]. At the time I thought that Cinemax Friday Nights after Dark were more scandalous and titillating. However Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbatos documentary Inside Deep Throat schooled me just as it will school everyone else who forgot or never knew what an impact the seminal porno film Deep Throat...

It's funny you mentioned Joe Berlinger; he's a really good guy. I met him around the time of his first documentary, Brother's Keeper. And God, when I was in high school I used to absolutely LOVE to salivate over Cinemax late night. It wasn't until I saw 9 1/2 Weeks and of course Last Tango in Paris in my junior or senior year and learned what erotic filmmaking could be. But far as actual porn, although I've seen some interesting work, I've actually still yet to see Deep Throat- but have always meant to. Perhaps I finally will now, as well as this new doc.

Thanks, Daniel.

P.S.- I just saw that Jenna Jameson billboard in Times Square last night when heading to China Club. Genius. Regardless of what one may think of her, she's still a superstar in the world of porn. And anyway, I'm glad to porn back in Times Square in such a grand way.

I remember that movie. Those were the days. Potatoe chips and Porn on Friday nights. Great job DRE.

Tales from Fish Camp - Danielle Henderson

I thought that Danielle Hendersons new book from AiT/PlanetLar, Tales From Fish Camp: A City Girl's Experience Working in an Alaskan Fishing Village, would be perfect reading for all of SuicideGirls. I read so many girls journals on this site where they all want to travel and have wild adventures. Well if youre into working hard, drinking hard, gutting fish and almost knifing strangers,...

Danielle is the bees knees, the cat's meow and the fingersnaps to all the beatnik kids in hip town. Her writing is smart, clever and makes me laugh until I cry. And then my eyes get all blurry, and I have to put down her book because I can't see. I am impatiently awaiting the sequel.
