This was a really interesting analysis; I'll have to keep some of these things in mind the next time I watch the film.

I considered doing that too, but demons aren't exactly attractive.

I tried doing this, but it turns out demons are fireproof.

I would recommend rewatching it. I can't guarantee you'll like it anymore than you did the first time, but, speaking only for myself, if I initially dislike a work, and it stays in my mind for a while, I typically enjoy it more the second time through.

Depends on whether or not you're talking about the book burnings shown near end of Jules and Jim or are referencing Fahrenheit 451.

Perhaps, after Catherine killed Jim and herself, Jules moved to London, changed his name, and took up photography, falling into an ennui only broken by stumbling across a murder; the incident affects him so much that he moves to America, changes his name again, and fights in the Vietnam War, where he is taken prisoner

Note to self: steal from Core Concept stealing from MST3K.

In all fairness to Gaston, he has at least earned the right to be proud of his hunting skills and his looks. Trump isn't nearly as great as he thinks he is.

There's nothing dumb about it.

I wish I had thought of this comment.

Mine is "Suck it Philip Roth." He hasn't actually written it yet, but he'll have it ready by the Nobel Prize Ceremony.

Are you saying that, if I see you choking in a restaurant, I should just play that song instead of performing the Heimlich?

R. I. P. Andrzej Wadja.

I believe Roger Ebert actually pointed out that the film is not 100% objective as Ennio Morricone's score plays over the deaths of Algerians killed by the French and French civilians killed by the FLN, but not over the deaths of the French policemen.
