Anyone watched Gotti (with John Travolta?). Trailer looks interesting and has a Goodfellas feel. I'm going to give it a go on Amazon.

CASHBACK: not sure what it wants to be as a flick, but it's great fun, sweet, good vibes… Story is almost too corny... Art student loses girl, develops insomnia, starts working at a Sainsbury's, finds love again...
TREES LOUNGE: aaaah yes... Thé movie for a real boozehead... Classic made by and starring Steve Buscemi... If you're gonna have a drink every time someone else drinks, you'll be dead in 15 minutes...

Saw this movie,found it entertaining.I don't know anything about the skating scene in the 90s,so have no reference points on it's authenticity. Curious as to what some of you,who skate,might think of this. First movie written and directed by Jonah Hill. Said he got skaters to act as opposed to actors to skate.

Another one I viewed this morning… Errol Morris, so you know it's good... I can only link to a Youtube version but you can find it without those annoying hardcoded Spanish subs on Pass the Popcorn and IP Torrents.
This is about Fred Leuchter... If that name doesn't ring a bell, Google "Leuchter report" or "Ernst Zündel"... I remember coming across this report last summer when I was viewing WWII documentaries about the crematoria... It just shows how big an idiot you have to be to question such an outrageously horrid massacre based on "science" the Leuchter Report provides...
Mr. Death - The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.

I place Holocaust denial (in terms of the plausibility of their arguments) somewhere between the Earth being flat and the moon landing a hoax. But much, much closer to the former.
THE COURT: How do you function as an engineer if you don't have an engineering degree?
Leuchter: Well, I would question, Your Honour, what an engineering degree is. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree and I have the required background training both on the college level and in the field to perform my function as an engineer.
THE COURT: Who determines that? You?
— Exchange between Leuchter and Judge Thomas, Her Majesty the Queen vs. Ernst Zündel, District Court of Ontario 1988, p. 8973.[2]:164
If you don't know what an engineering degree is, maybe you're not an engineer.

I mean have they ever been on an airplane? Or seen the moon? Why do no other celestial bodies accrete into a disk?
The level of dumbassery is so staggering. I don't wish harm on anyone, but if somehow they could be removed from the public discourse that would be great.

-
The truly intruiging thing to me in that documentary is how Zündel basically denies the gaschambers/ holocaust because he doesn't want his mother country, German, to be seen as a place where such a genocide could've taken place… So is it his sense of guilt that forces him to go into a state of denial, or is he just using that cause admitting to being a neo nazi, anti-semite bastard is slightly less comfortable to admit to...

Looked pretty damn accurate to me judging by that trailer….several authentic details in there with the Wu-Tang song and the 40oz of Olde English to name a few. That's dead accurate and nostalgic as fuck for me. Looks like he has captured the whole vibe very well.
-
Just to add one more thing that nods to the authenticity of it is the simple detail of what Wu-Tang song Jonah Hill chose to put in there. He could have easily went the lazy route and picked C.R.E.A.M which was the biggest song off of 36 Chambers and the most recognizable and one that would have been the more "hollywood" choice….. but instead he chose Tearz which is one of my favorite tracks off that album. As soon as I heard the opening verse while watching that trailer (" check the script, me and the gods getting ripped...") it instantly took me back to my youth in mid 90's.
Skateboards, 40's, Wu-Tang, smoking weed..even the am/pm corner store he throws in there lol.....he's nailed it, at least it looks like it by the trailer.

I had never heard of it until you posted the trailer.

I swear I'll stop going OT right here, but there's an important book that gets into the mindset of German Nazi party supporters during that period. Denial, cognitive dissonance, and other delusions are still well with us and the book is hauntingly familiar today.
