Like a creepy manic pixie dream middle aged dude.

Just go to the bookstore and read it. if someone gives you a side-eye, just narrow your eyes then pretend to talk into the secret mouthpiece hidden in your jacket and look around conspiratorially.

I totally disagree. I think that the clothing suited their characters, and that the show did a good job with the time they were working with (early 2000s, not a great time for fashion, but definitely a time when those scarves were everywhere) and also growing with them - Rory’s wardrobe in particular. Rory, at the…

YES! Simply reading the whole quote shows what the director actually meant, and it wasn’t anything near what the author of this article implies! I mean...I am not particularly surprised that a Jezebel author doesn’t grasp what satire is and what it aims to do, but still, Jesus Christ this is shoddy work!

I’m living in Germany right now and saw the movie. No joke guys, it’s SO GOOD.

It’s actually an incredibly dark satire about current German society and the return of extremist, xenophobic rhetoric, specifically in response to the refugee crisis currently occurring here.

I no joke think it should be considered for an…

Fair enough. The problem I had was, fair or not, I can’t read individual posts in isolation, or even individual websites in isolation—instead, I view your post on foreign culture through the prism of American media coverage of foreign culture generally. And given American media’s utter and complete failure on that…

Care to elaborate? What were you trying to do, then? Because phrases like “How you choose to reconcile your country’s legacy of systematic murder of six million souls is totally up to you. Looks like part of your process is a zany 90-minute comedy where Hitler wakes up from his bunker in modern day Berlin and tries to…

EXACTLY. the article in the Guardian she cites makes the true purpose of the movie clear. I don’t think she even read it other than the quote she used, which by the way, was not the director’s full quote included in the Guardian. She took it completely out of context. Really annoying.

What the director is saying is this: viewing Hitler as a “monster” means he was not really responsible for his actions, in a way. A monster is like an animal, incapable of human empathy. If you humanize Hitler, his deeds become even more disturbing, because you can assume that he feels regular human emotions, and…

Seriously though, this whole article is so badly misinformed that I don’t even know where to start, from the wrongly translated quote to the wrongly summarised intentions of this satirical movie right down to using a video clip with completely false subtitles, this whole thing is truly maddening. Now I know how Asian…

Thank you!!!! I’m not German - but if there’s a country that has bloody atoned for their past, that is Germany. And they’re still doing it - look at the refugee crisis. It’s quite vile to suggest that this movie is wrong, especially from an American - a country that has committed so many atrocities and hasn’t bothered…

I think if your grandfather was one, then you get that right too. Or if your grandfather was sent to Stalingrad by one.

As I said above, it is saying that calling him a monster relieves him of responsibility. It’s the same reason people object to the immediate rush to declare American gun murderers mentally ill: because it implies they aren’t really at fault. Acknowledging Hitler was just a man reminds us that the capacity for evil is…

You didn't. You misread. It's saying that calling him a monster relieves him of responsibility.

This looks awesome. Germany has owned this terrible history and taught it in their schools to make sure it never happens again. Germany has done a better job than most countries, really. America hasn’t taught and owned the terrible history of slavery and native genocide with the completeness that Germany has.

These posts wherein American writers are befuddled by the humor of other countries are kind of embarrassing. Atonement for the Holocaust is practically culturally enshrined in Germany at this point, as far as I know (please chime in to correct me, German friends). This is absurdist and not making light of the…

We live in a world where the Israeli PM hates Muslims SO MUCH that he’s willing to blame them for steering Hitler toward Holocaust.

It’s a legitimate medical condition that more people should be aware of. It’s not like I sent you to look for photos of penile degloving. (Google it.)

If you read the questions that Andy threw at Amber Rose, I don’t blame her for refusing to play along. She’s made it loud and clear she hates being caged as “ Kanye’s ex” or with his wife’s family.

much of her material was the same she used in the Oddball festival this summer.
