Dec 5 2008 'Zombie Nazis Attacking a Mountain Cabin' Trailer
Zombies and Nazis. They're the two groups we, as a society, have agreed can be killed without further justification than their title, so it's only natural someone would eventually think, "Let's just make zombie Nazis so that we really don't have to feel any remorse in their murder." Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola's Dead Snow isn't the first time the two forces will merge, but it may be the first time
"Ein, zwei, DIE" is used as a tagline, so for that it's won my kudos. Here's the trailer:

Jul 25 2007 RIP, 'Lives of Others' Dude
Ulrich Muhe, star of The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen), is dead of stomach cancer today at the age of 54. It's a bummer, because I thought he gave one of the best performances in one of the best movies of last year.
On the plus side, at least he went out on top - starring in an Oscar-winning, bona-fide hit. Poor Raul Julia, his last film was Street Fighter. They even dedicated it to him. What a crappy epitaph. Let this be a lesson to you, Cuba Gooding.
Jul 19 2007 Tom Cruise is a Nazi, Homosexual
"Thetaaaaaaaaaan!!"
Okay, so mainly this is all just an excuse to repost this totally sweet picture of Tom Cruise and Col. Klink, but still. The first stills from Valkyrie have hit the web. You can tell Tom Cruise has really mastered the nazi art of leaning back on your heels and looking constipated.
In case you haven’t been reading (don’t act like you’ve got better things to do), Valkyrie is a song Wagner wrote about gay unicorns or some shit, and Valkyrie is the story of the German general who tried to assassinate Hitler, and marks the first re-teaming of director Bryan Singer and writer Chris McQuarrie since The Usual Suspects.
I’m not the biggest Cruise fan, but I’d sit through a two-hour Singer/McQuarrie movie about my own bowel movements. Then again, I’d probably sit through an Adam Shankman movie about my own bowel movements. What can I say, I’m fascinated by my own stool. Sue me.
Jun 28 2007 Germans Deny Hatred of Scientology, Seem Less Cool
"Thetaaaaaaaaaan!!"
Despite previous reports that Germany had barred Valkyrie from shooting at government locations because of star Tom Cruise's outspoken beliefs in alien ghosts, German officials are now saying shooting was not banned at all. One of the locations houses part of the German defense ministry, and it was that, not thetans, that kept Valkyrie from getting permits.
If anything, it would be the lights and cables and camera teams that could disrupt work at the Defense Ministry, [German official]Kuehnau said, adding that if an arrangement is found where filming does not interfere with government business, a filming permit should be no problem.
Kuehnau added, "And anozza sing, zat whole 'holocaust' story vas vay, vay offablown."
Valkyrie, the story of Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, a national hero who was executed in 1944 for attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler, was written by Christopher McQuarrie and Nathan Alexander and will be directed by Bryan Singer. Bryan Singer, Chris McQuarrie, and Nazis? Shit, I'll see that even if mormons are in it.
