  • All Stalin had to do was not make a deal with Hitler.

    He didn’t have to cozy up to Churchill, just not make a deal with Hitler.

    Also, after he made the deal he killed anyone who tried to tell him that Hitler was going to stab him in the back.

    Communists in the German army walked up to the Russian lines and told them that invasion was on the way. Stalin had them killed.

    The Russian people beat Hitler; Stalin was a yoke around their neck.













  • Here’s the way I look at it.

    A fictional story should follow its own rules. Let’s take “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” The idea that someone would let himself be hung, trusting the other guy to be able to make that incredible shot over and over and never miss, is nonsensical. But we in the audience accept that premise for the sake of the story. We’d be disappointed if, halfway through the movie, an orchestra appears in the middle of the desert and they do a big musical number.

    “Sky Captain” was ridiculous because of the way the story kept shifting and the rules kept changing.
