Better remastering than the Revenant? And more music?

What do you mean?

because Greenland is Danish?

An oxymoron has acne.

if you can say "moronic", can you also say: "exymoronic"?

what's the difference between an "oxymoron" and a simple "moron"?

Do I reach post 2800 with this one?

Why did I ditch so many science classes? don't you know?

Uh, and since when is Mercury a "liquid"? I always though it was a liquor...

jazz question: what do the liquid Mercury and the label Mercury do have in common? Does "have in common" mean "to be a communist"? ubu

Beers Per Month? Bears Per Mile?

beer: why is it so hard to drink less? (couw, where are you? and what the hell is "bandwidth"?) There's a word used in another topic right now that I don't understand: can someone please explain me what the heck is a "computer"? ubu

This saved my day!

Does this have anything to do with la pechée originale?

What is Noj doing here, if he's not posting? ubu

Hey, I think now you're disqualified! That's not such a stupid question, is it? ubu

Sky's dark always here, at least I never noticed otherwise!

When did the world change from b/w to colour? I mean, in the old films, it's plain clear that the world was b/w then. But: in some places it seemed to either change to colour earlier than in other places, or it did temporarily change to colour, only to be back in good old b/w again, shortly after. Can anyone explain this to me? ubu

No one knows! I wondered about this, too. But then it seems Warner has no real concept behind their reissues. And some of these series seem to be european. ubu

Simon and brownie, thanks for your points! Simon, for me, there's no problem with Lanzmann's aesthetics, either, but I guess that is a personal thing, and I can imagine that it is in fact possible to feel the way you do. Regarding Spielberg, you might be right that his film was quite an achievement - yet still it has to be viewed as offensive, in some way, in my opinion. Me neither saw Benigni's film, I always refused to see it, the idea of it being a horrifying thing for me. As far as reading about it: I was done after reading thirty or forty pages of Hilberg. You really should close yourself into some silent empty room to read, no daylight, no other people, no human noise. Simon, I do understand your not wanting to read more. I have to be careful right now, not to overdo it. Some other authors, though, that I'd like to hear if anyone has read some: Rymkiewicz, Borowski, Klüger? Kertesz? I think I will read one or two of Borowski's text before going for Levi. And how about Francesco Rosi's film "La tregua"? (I will see it on sunday). ubu

who leads today's top-posters list? and guess who's second? ubu

Bertrand who? Are you sure about that? ubu He was.... I think how was that: some of the people can be sure about something all of the time, none of the people can be sure of nothing none of the time?

Bertrand who? Are you sure about that? ubu

really?
