I just heard about that recently while watching old Siskel & Ebert videos. I want to see it, but the idea of finding nine hours to do so (even breaking it up) and knowing that it would be intense and sad throughout hasn't made me rush.

It's a fantastic documentary. Long, but it never wastes a minute. Such a harrowing subject too. Seeing those interment camps images, and then the graves of the deceased has been steeped into my memory ever since. It really made me question why there were holocaust deniers in the first place

I'd guess that most of them don't watch that movie nor visit the Holocaust Museum.

Not to veer things wildly off-track, but just to let you guys know, deniers have physically stood inside the gas chambers and denied everything that happened.

"Oh, the Jews and other undesirables had that door they could escape out of while pretending to be gassed in this shower, and they did escape!" is what one of them actually said while physically standing in such a gas chamber, even though it was explained to him that the door had always been sealed so that escape was impossible.

Deniers don't want to accept reality, period. It has nothing to do with which documentary they saw (not accusing you two of believing it to be that simple a solution, mind).

That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

^No, you're right. I was thinking of a case of a guy my pastor was dealing with. He offered to take this conspiracy nut he was dealing with to the Holocaust Museum and the guy said no.

From what I've heard, they run the spectrum. There's some who just say it was exaggerated (like "only a million were killed"---as if that would be not so bad) while others deny it happened at all and attribute it all to a big Jewish cabal that runs the media or something. It's all nuts, though.

That's mind boggling to me. Right up there with flat Earthers and being religious to the point of denying dinosaurs ever existed.

The guy I'm referring to is also a flat earther. I've met him, but don't know him. I suspect he just really likes believing something rare and controversial. I have no idea of his position on dinosaurs, freemasons, or aliens, and I don't think I want to know.

Staying on topic with the notion of death, remember that cult that thought they were going to join aliens by hitching a ride on the tail of a comet? The catch was they had to do a mass suicide to do it. I remember the goodbye videos they made for their families and how HAPPY they looked. Most of them looked like they were doing cosplay of Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber with those stupid bowl cuts.

Nature has a way of making natural selection unavoidable I suppose.

Artist Steve Ditko, who co-created Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Stan Lee, has died at age 90.

The New York Police Department confirmed his death to The Hollywood Reporter. No cause of death was announced. Ditko was found dead in his apartment on June 29 and it is believed he died about two days earlier.

Though he was a objectivist, he was still one of the greats of comics. RIP!

That's a big one, but he lived a long life and leaves a great legacy.

Damn, me and the clerk at the comic shop were talking about him yesterday. This is a huge passing.

Tab Hunter death: Multi-talented Hollywood star dies aged 86.

Tab Hunter had a very good role in Track of the Cat. It's been flipped, but you're getting to see it.

Notice Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, who is unrecognizable as Joe Sam.
