German Concentration Camps Factual Survey. Man. I have seen plenty of footage of corpses from the concentration camps, but never being moved and handled like this. The movement of the bodies...fucked up.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: What movies are you watching?
split - i thought this was well directed, and the performances were very good (obviously mcavoy, but the main girl was convincing)...i had the ending somewhat spoiled so i think that took a bit away from my experience
lego batman - will arnett is undoubtedly the greatest batman ever...anyway, this was funny enough but not as entertaining as the lego movie

I mean it's ok I guess. Nowhere near as good as the first one.

Re: What movies are you watching?
E.T.
Not a film to watch before bed. The first half hour is actually scary. Brought me back to being terrified as a kid watching it. I wish I could watch this film objectively. No need. It's a master class in story telling. And direction production and if there's a film with a bigger heart and sadness and joy I don't know what it is.
Watched some making of doco by accident last night and that made me put it on. Spielberg is a master. The way he directed these kids and got these performances out of them was simply brilliant.
Magic. Just magic.
And they had the good sense and decency to never make a sequel. It would have never even come close to as good as the original. In the 80s, the birth cloud of the sequel era.
This film is 10/10 for me eternally.
