It's my favourite WW2 movie!

I guess I'm moderately interested, but the original was the definition of style over substance.

I don't know why I took so long to listen to …Like Clockwork, but I guess that's my favourite album of 2013.

The Beatles were simply major outliers in every way (except for technical skill, I suppose). It's unlikely that history will see another group like them.

Zwartboek is easily the most fun WWII movie I've seen.

The film is set between September 1938 and June 1939, so technically no.

That causes it to go stale quicker, actually.

It's the finale for a different show. A show that didn't spend the previous 61 episodes building up Walt's moral culpability.

I think it would've been militarily impossible. Certainly colonization efforts into more heavily populated regions of the world did not result in genocide (with a few notable exceptions). In Africa and Asia the colonizing nations used their technological and economic leverage to seize control, because a straight

Wow, Moone Boy is a really phenomenal show.

There are always issues of presentism, but it's a bit ridiculous to condemn North American settlers for not knowing germ theory.

I really did not like season 3 of Sherlock.

I like Dowd a lot.

Compare what happened in North America to Generalplan Ost, and the differences are massive. It's incredibly misleading to directly compare the two.

It's really, really hard to consider what happened to the indigenous peoples of the Americas an "extermination" given that the vast majority died of disease.

It's a good point, but the NSA and fighting insurgents in Pakistan is one hell of a long way from exterminating 15 million+ civilians based solely on fucked-up racist ideology.

Yeah, the Soviet Union was just a docile, peace-loving country supporting independence and self-determination.

The "Clean Wehrmacht" myth needs to die a messy, violent death.

Well, season 3 of Sherlock was a major disappointment. Sheesh.

Well, no more stupid jokes. The show finally accepted that he was a bad Dean. The real thing is that his character is once again re-focused on actual character attributes (being driven but incompetent) instead of a series of tired gags.
