It's part of the online burden these days that Hitler/bunker/Downfall mash-ups about any perceived problem with any big product or film are going to pop up on YouTube, whether we like it or not. And in a sense I'm sorry for this. That said, I laughed out loud at this. The writing is quite snappy. There are a couple of "who/that" grammar issues, but you can't say it doesn't reflect actual carpings.

Highlights: (a) "Cameron has spent too much time underwater, and has taken the Hollywood opiate of putting technology before story"; (b) "Who the hell wants Clone Wars: Thundercats?"; (c) "They said the 3D would be so good it'd be like having your eyeballs fucked!"; (d) "Who in their right mind would want to live vicariously through a furry ballerina who fights off space marines with his freaking organic farm?"

These Hitler/Downfall things are about as hip and funny as a pair of Zubaz pants.
I can't bear to watch it, no matter what insights it may offer. What was once funny has been beaten to death.

As good or bad as "Avatar" may or may not be, I know it will not make me laugh as much as that did, so there's that.

Jeffrey Wells says ...

I have the same attitude, David F. Enough already with the Downfall mashups. But this one is well written and is really funny. I'm sorry but it is.

I think this one is pretty funny.

I'm surprised they haven't branched out a bit and used other subtitled films. I wonder if Inglourious Basterds will become a YouTube favourite over time.

That was VERY funny. It really does appear that reaction to that trailer was bad. Theres no doubt it was not what I expected.

Hate to say it, but I laughed. I love the comment right at the end: "Maybe the video game is good." Great stuff.

This was almost as good as the one about eBay. Or the cowboys not going to the superbowl.

You hated IB, yet you're still linking to these things?

Gimme a break.

That did make me laugh. The reaction shots after he mentions the trailer are spot on.

Jeffrey Wells says ...

Wells to CiizenKaned: I was more genuinely entertained by this Avatar/Hitler piece than by all of Inglourious Basterds. Obviously two different things but I got a bigger kick out of this short than the film. And if you don't like that, tough tits.

Speaking of IB, why isn't it being made fun of yet on the Downfall thing yet? Hell, this could be Jeff's baby, too.

BTW, who's seen Xenogenesis? Is that even on dvd? Kind of disappointed they didn't put in a comment about Battle Angel, though.

Ray says ...

That DOWNFALL thing only works if the Hitler character is playing a discernible person in real life.

Who is the Hitler character supposed to be in this version? He's not James Cameron. Is he supposed to be a publicist??

I think this would have worked much better if Hitler had been standing in for James Cameron.

I think you're overthinking this a little bit, Ray.

Xenogenesis is on google vids for your visual entertainment. Just google it. It's worth a watch.

I think that Hitler represents the average geek looking forward to Avatar, Ray. He's a fanboy. He's...he's...mein gott, he's all of us!
