Pushed through some supremely boring/stupid/taken-from-other-canons stuff to catch up on The Vampire Diaries. The reward: Damon & Enzo. That was perhaps the single slashiest scene I recall from this entire series. Fine, other than Stefan/Damon, because Stefan/Damon breaks my brain.

It's too big a subject for tonight, but here goes anyway. ( 'Downfall.' )

I'm sitting here looking forlornly at the beat-up VHS case of "Das Boot" I picked up from the library, because I really want to see it, but I really don't want to see it dubbed, and dubbed this version is.

Wow. "Stalingrad." (Germany, 1993)

Bloody and tense and unflinching and un-melodramatic and bleak and filthy and horrific and you can tell it wasn't made in Hollywood if only because ( don't read this if you don't want to know the end. )

Part II -- ( What is it that's so attractive about foreign actors? )
