I've watched some movies recently.
After "THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR JEWISH FILM presents," we cold-open on a man in a Na Nach yarmulke saying
"Here's how you bring light into the world - you get up in the morning and you scream
'GOOOOOOOOD!' "
(You realize later, if you're paying attention, that this was edited together. What he actually said
to scream was "
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! DIE YETZER HARA!," followed by saying "Na nach...")
That's the Kickstarter-funded
Punk Jews from about 10 years ago, which Lakewood's public library got last year on DVD despite
it being up on YouTube. The film's segments were also uploaded individually, so you can watch these two and skip the rest:
(Note: This next one is about child molestation.)
The "documentary"
Nazi Doctors is just an extended interview and some random shots of the ocean. Someone has uploaded it to
YouTube with German subtitles, where it has ~440 views. It's kinda on the meh side, but Robert Jay Lifton
is an interesting guy.
A film that doesn't deserve naming included perhaps the most computer-people-infuriating bit of nonsense in film history -
a hacker "digging a wormhole in the deep web," giving him control of - what else? - all the USA's missile systems.
I watched several decades-old classics for the first time. One played fast and
loose with causality - if A causes B, which causes C, C can't be the cause of A.
I think
The Insomniac (later called
24 Seven for reasons unknown to me)
is one of the worst movies I've seen. I'll sell it to you (on DVD) for $2.50.
As of this writing, I'm a little more than a third of the way through 1968's
Yellow Submarine. It's strange.
