    ".....Mmmmmmkay."
    "So my father's people took out Detroit."

    We bombed way more than two cities to ash. We fire-bombed the fuck out of Japan before we used the nukes.

    See, this is why we can't have jokes about WWII. People like you ruin it for everyone.

    I have the funny feeling that all WWII geeks just lurk in shadowy places, holding in their Dorito breath and staying downwind of any joke they hear about WWII, just so they can leap out like some kind of buck-toothed lion of the Serengeti, roaring their little trivia facts about their pet topic for life.

    No shit. Thin Red Line was awful pseudo-intellectual garbage.

    The Thin Red Line is the war movie that hippies can enjoy.

    I hate it so much.

    World War II is just a plain bad sequel to World War I(which had to be retitled so that we could know the two are connected). They just took World War I and made it bigger and flashier. Oooh! Planes!
    Nice try, but you forgot about the complicated plot of World War 1 and gave us a simple cliche evil villain this time around. "He hates Jews", Is that the best you can come up with? And on the allies side you've got the wise cracking British gent Churchill, the dark and serious Lenin, and a cripple with a heart of gold.
    The only thing that surprised me were that the Japanese didn't attack the U.S. with kung-fu and backflip off the bomb to safety.

    WHAT THE FUCK!!!

    A reviewer described young Stalin as "devilishly handsome"

    Did Hitler ever smile?

    He even danced. There's footage somewhere.

    And that is crying out for a video edit.

    He danced when they captured Paris.
    He was a happy panda.

    Ah, excerpt:

    "The turn of Field Marshal Rommel, the idol of the German masses, came next. As General von Stuelpnagel lay blinded and unconscious on the operating table of the hospital at Verdun after his not quite successful attempt to kill himself, he had blurted out the name of Rommel..."

    After some shit goes down, dudes come down to Rommel's home:

    "A few minutes later," Manfred Rommel later related, "I heard my father come upstairs and go into my mother's room." Then:

    We went into my room. "I have just told your mother," he began slowly, "that I shall be dead in a quarter of an hour . . . Hitler is charging me with high treason. In view of my services in Africa I am to have the chance of dying by poison. The two generals have brought it with them. It's fatal in three seconds. If I accept, none of the usual steps will be taken against my family. . .I'm to be given a state funeral. It's all been prepared to the last detail. In a quarter of an hour you will receive a call from the hospital in Ulm to say I've had a brain seizure on the way to a conference."



    Man, give Rise and Fall of The Third Reich a look if you're even remotely interested in WWII.

    I tried, I really did, but I got bored after it got past 150 pages on the Munich accords. Start the fucking war already!

    there is a joke about stalin

    it goes

    one day, stalin wakes up and can't find his watch. it is gone. he calls in his captain of guards, tells him someone stole his watch. I want them found!

    Later in the day Stalin finds his watch under a cushion. He calls in his captain of guards once again to let him know.

    "But comrade Stalin, we've already had ten people confess to it!"

    The name Ibiza is derived from the Original Arabic word "Yabisah" ("يابسة") meaning 'Land' or 'Landward' in English. Eivissa is the official Catalan name pronounced [əj'vi.sə]; but the name in Spanish is Ibiza (usually pronounced using the Castilian variation [iˈβ̞i.θa], often manifested by English speakers [ɪˈbi.t͡sa]).

    All hacking through dozens of extras, using cunning camera angles and smoke to make it seem like thousands, and then you're carried off into the subset on a tired-out nag.
