It's now been over 17 years since i first saw schindler’s list. running at 195 minutes, it very well may have been the last movie i saw that had an intermission, and i'm sure i emptied a full bladder and inhaled a cigarette in superhero fast time. "I am Supersmoker! I can not fend of the lung cancer, but i can and do smoke faster than any mere mortal, because i am Supersmoker!"
years later - in 1996, to be exact - while i lived for a short time in Charleston SC, and witnessed the Packers winning their most recent Super Bowl far away from my Chicago origins, i saw this movie again on broadcast television, where they gave it the rare honor of a broadcast without commercials. there were breaks, intermissions, where they told us there were no commercials, because of some benefactor - i think it was Sears - but again, obviously, no commercials.
There's worthy cause for giving this movie that broadcast tv honor - because it is a movie worth seeing, a movie that wonderfully tells a horrible story about humanity, in a very recent era.
So watch that movie. or visit a holocaust museum. or go to a former concentration camp that now serves as a museum, a remembrance, of that recent time. or read after dachau. or...
just don't think that because spielberg made schindler's list, that he himself deserves to be idolized - he also did this to Indiana Jones

but, that's ok. this art-rapist also gave us gizmo, the mogwai, and I still want one. We’d play catch with ping pong balls and occasionally snuggle in bed together, watching/remembering that before Indy suffered from irritable bowels due to his rape by spielberg and lucas, he saved an alternate world from the Nazi’s on at least 1 occasion. In this world, Auschwitz was liberated today in 1945 by those red commie bastards we hear so much nonsense about. somewhere between 1.1 million and 3 million people, mostly jews, died there. it's okay to cry for them today...or any day
