A survivor of the Battle of Stalingrad, he became a producer and screenwriter. His final film was Come and See, a story of a boy in Belorussia who joins the partisans against the Nazis and witnesses a ‘Special Action’ liquidation. Klimov’s vision would be repeated in villages all over Ukraine in 1941 and 2022. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2021/6/13/the-big-lie-and-the-capitol-putsch-of-21 monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/d8a5e338-2a26-4092-8385-aad9d2c9e8a9/210113-capitol-riot-auschwitz-shirt-mn-1005.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - The Big Lie and the Capitol Putsch of ‘21 - Make it stand out Robert Keith Packer, of Virginia, told his judge he just put on a sweater ‘because it was cold.’ Other pictures of him earlier on January 6th show him wearing a shirt underneath the sweater that said “Schutzstaffeln.” https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2020/12/13/american-revisionist-fascism-in-modern-streaming-services monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/4a7bbdc5-2159-499e-8412-6f6a5201cd29/von.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - AMERICAN REVISIONIST FASCISM IN MODERN STREAMING SERVICES 12-13-20 - Make it stand out Walter Karl Ernst August von Reichenau, Field Marshal of the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Reichenau commanded the 6th Army during the invasion of Ukraine in June, 1941. In stark contrast to the lie that the regular German Army (Heer) did not take part in war crimes, Reichenau issued an order on 10 October 1941 which specifically commanded his army to murder Jews as a political act incorporated into the military purpose of the invasion. Under his command, the 6th Army regularly committed war crimes, ensuring the German Army would forever be a part of the Holocaust. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2020/9/19/why-the-fuck-do-i-still-read-rolling-stone-9-17-20 monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/c5f555c3-37de-40b9-a9e8-2be65d10aa8d/res.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - WHY THE FUCK DO I STILL READ ROLLING STONE? 9-17-20 - Make it stand out And of course the true crime no one wants to discuss is the airbrushing. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2020/8/30/got-journal-8-28-20 monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/07d1aba0-d8d5-4f81-98f6-818bea3b2247/maisie-william-b-84092d13f76f446896bc78e3733f62ee.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - GOT JOURNAL 8-30-20 - Make it stand out Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2020/2/3/the-next-decade monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/87ca452c-7e4e-4192-ae4c-a50967fd51e7/s70156.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - THE NEXT DECADE - Make it stand out An example of image pastiche… https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2020/1/18/why-do-i-care-about-dolores-oriordan monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/69a4aefa-ea4e-44c0-a6bf-00e9111d1ead/dolo.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - WHY DO I CARE ABOUT DOLORES O'RIORDAN? - Make it stand out Don’t let it fade… https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2018/5/2/the-last-decade monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/e82050c8-fd06-40f1-b849-2093658d6959/s70124.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - THE LAST DECADE - Make it stand out Insert pithy quote here. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/blog-1/2017/7/11/being-kevin-smith monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/3c7eded2-f5ed-4062-98c0-06931befecd8/211023-stern-kevin-smith-hero_hsms3h.jpg The Docking Bay 94 Blog - BEING KEVIN SMITH - Make it stand out I was depressed, man.

In “reward” for their services, they got to live just a little longer than their families, before being exterminated themselves. Not only did they lead in other victims under pain of death, they had to carry the bodies to the crematoria, and clean the gas chamber so it could be ready for the next group of victims. Sometimes, after the urine and feces was cleaned up, the walls had to be painted to hide the scratch marks and blood. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2026/3/26/riefenstahl-2025 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/cc8a19c6-78e8-4b62-a83c-065d8064ea55/reifenstahl.webp Film Reviews - Riefenstahl (2025) - Make it stand out 5 September 1939. According to published accounts, Nazi Filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl was attempting to set up a composition to take a picture in a village during the Nazi Invasion of Poland. When she instructed some nearby German Army troops to ‘take away’ or ‘clear out’ people who she did not want in the photograph, she watched them line up the undesirables, including women and children, and execute them with no warning. She shortly thereafter asked to leave her job as a war correspondent. Later in the war, in 1943, she used Sinti “gypsies” for scenes in her narrative film “Tiefland.” After the scene was shot, the Sinti were taken to Buchenwald concentration camp and murdered. Later in her life, she denied both of these events happened despite the Nazi documentation they did. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2026/3/26/ms-45-1981 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/891e6d42-dbc9-4938-a80b-b52fce912fc4/45.webp Film Reviews - Ms. .45 (1981) - Make it stand out “Maybe this will make you talk.” https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2026/3/26/taxi-driver-1976 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/7bd9343b-ab80-4a97-9bbb-c226065b3b1e/taxi.webp Film Reviews - Taxi Driver (1976) - Make it stand out “This girl is just fourteen years old.” https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2026/3/26/occupied-city-2025 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/e2de4992-3357-4dbc-862c-08b96e79d856/occupied+city.webp Film Reviews - Occupied City (2025) - Make it stand out Film Director Steve McQueen and his wife Author Bianca Stigter, in their city of Amsterdam. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2026/3/26/head-1968 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/06d9c61c-d666-438b-bca6-390e2da92c0f/head.webp Film Reviews - HEAD (1968) - Make it stand out “What you have seen you must believe if you can… if you can…” https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2026/3/26/lee-2023 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/e4af31c4-1965-4ee3-a828-50361025d16f/lee.webp Film Reviews - Lee (2023) - Make it stand out First a fashion model, then an artist, then a professional photographer and war correspondent, Lee Miller defied the order that surrounded her. Though she is probably most famous for directing David Scherman’s famous photo of her nude in Eva Braun’s bathtub, I prefer this no nonsense profile he took of her somewhere in Allied occupied Europe. With her custom visor, she looks like a knight, determined to win in any fight. I first came across her photographs in graduate school. Her plutonic partner Scherman, an American Jew, was rumored to have taken a shit in Hitler’s toilet - an oft visited place for G.I.’s in occupied Munich. With Gitta Sereny, Hannah Arendt, and Sophie Scholl, Miller defined the way we look at the War. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2024/7/13/ghost-in-the-shell-2017 monthly 0.5 2024-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/d020f95c-6b1d-4432-9cca-90ebe503b13a/309b7b7993d3991a8e1cc42e9cb17d0a.jpg Film Reviews - Ghost in the Shell (2017) - Make it stand out My mind is human.

Here he is in the dark coat on the far right, discussing collaboration with Hermann Goring, the President of the Riechstag and after Adolf Hitler, the most powerful man in Germany. Goring is holding his hat and Laval is focused on Goring’s translator. Under Laval’s dictatorship, he established concentration camps all over France, deported fleeing Jews to death camps in Poland, signed away millions of able bodied Frenchmen as forced slave labor in Germany, and hunted down the Free French Resistance that was formed for liberation. He did all of this with the support of the great majority of the French population, and used French cops and the French Army to keep himself in power with extra-judicial executions aligned with a healthy dose of Anglophobia and Anti-Semitism. His contribution to French history is bizarrely labeled as controversial. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2023/2/22/state-funeral-2019 monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/97667b2b-22bb-4502-aefc-bc9b47ae836e/Screenshot+2023-02-23+102358.jpg Film Reviews - State Funeral (2019) - Make it stand out Quantity has a quality all it’s own. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2023/2/22/the-far-country-1954 monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/32d30bc7-c403-4826-b207-d31cea968620/the-far-country-still-2.png Film Reviews - The Far Country (1954) - Make it stand out It becomes my duty to carry out the sentence which I have imposed on these men for killing and stealing within the territory under my jurisdiction.

This may co-exist with a Will ["Wille"] good in general, and arises from the frailty of human nature, which is not strong enough to follow its adopted principles, combined with its impurity in not distinguishing the springs (even of well-intentioned actions) from one another by moral rule. So that ultimately it looks at best only to the conformity of its actions with the law, not to their derivation from it, that is, to the law itself as the only spring. Now although this does not always give rise to wrong actions and a propensity thereto, that is, to vice, yet the habit of regarding the absence of vice as a conformity of the mind to the law of duty (as virtue) must itself be designated a radical perversity of the human heart (since in this case the spring in the maxims is not regarded at all, but only the obedience to the letter of the law). https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2020/2/2/the-rhythm-section monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/3bda0eea-d4de-4af4-ab6b-d4a852fcfaa1/section.jpg Film Reviews - The Rhythm Section - Make it stand out “Her near-incompetence in the face of danger makes her relatable in ways very few cinematic assassins have ever been. Paramount is opening the movie in January, the month where Liam Neeson is typically the one to do this kind of dirty work. Lively is hardly the actor’s obvious substitute, though the character she plays — a rock-bottom junkie prostitute — absolutely convinces she has nothing to lose.” - Peter Debrgue, Variety. https://www.thatdylandavis.com/new-blog/2018/12/23/rocky-fivethousand-american-mediocrity-in-film monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/90a9245d-deb8-4c29-b8fc-0af2a52bbbd7/Rocky_Steadicam.jpg Film Reviews - “Rocky Five...Thousand”: American Mediocrity in Film - Make it stand out Stay in school and use your brain.

Though the film focuses on the rise and fall of a famous courtesan of Louis XV, Depp overpowers the film through his charm and charisma. Controversially opening at Cannes in 2023, Jeanne du Barry struggled to find a North American distributer – some say because of Depp’s recent unpleasant public image. For his part, Depp opined in an interview released with the film that he found a connection with the famous monarch son of the Sun King. They both lived in a bubble, he mentioned, and going outside was weird. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/3c275abc-2223-4c51-a09b-fd5c2376d002/jackalicia.jpg Super 70 Podcast - Make it stand out Shoot ‘em up, bang!

Dalton, about 24 at the time, thought he was too young to play Bond and never considered the offer seriously. Twenty years later he was the right age when they approached him to replace Roger Moore. Dalton did two films with veteran Bond director John Glen who as cinematographer captured the masterful shot of the Union Jack parachute opening in The Spy Who Loved Me (1976). Their two films, The Living Daylights (1987) and License to Kill (1989) were largely panned at the time as low-level efforts. Looking back, these films are being re-assessed as important stories representing western fears of the Cold War and the Drug War in the 1980’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/bd15cf31-79c1-4b6a-968c-a4379d8cdab1/u-g-OWKF90.jpg Super 70 Podcast - Make it stand out “I am fascinated by what is beautiful, strong, healthy, what is living.

One of them, The Things They Carried, has proved so popular as to be raided by Hollywood for both inspiration for fictional films and sources for documentaries. You can see him in Ken Burn’s recent PBS work The Vietnam War. A unit in O’Brien’s division had perpetrated the My Lai Massacre the year before his deployment to the same area. “We all wondered why the place was so hostile.” O’Brien’s work is pivotal to not just understanding the American experience in Vietnam, but how we view veterans through film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/0daf5d25-c3bd-48b8-b074-47c45099df68/pathaan.jpeg Super 70 Podcast - Make it stand out “Jai Hind” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/961edf51-ebbf-42fe-a87e-1cbc1b276ca2/paul+is+dead.png Super 70 Podcast - Make it stand out “A man is born alone, he lives alone, and dies alone.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/aef57ba0-d2bf-4801-9425-89c60880e2ce/Screenshot+2023-03-18+at+7.39.31+PM.png Super 70 Podcast - Make it stand out “I don’t particularly like the idea that there’s an arc to the story and that therefore in this scene you have to convey this bit of information or emotion. I like more the feeling that, of course, there is a shape to the story, but that each scene should feel right, should be true at the moment, and that gradually you accumulate these moments of truth until you get enough of them together that it becomes a story that’s interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/f847c518-0f58-43c7-aec3-4da22ca29b1a/dave+and+the+rock+04.JPG Super 70 Podcast - Make it stand out “To a large degree these types of things are inherently silly. I think the Sight and Sound poll is analogous to the Oscars. These are subjective judgements so creating this cannon via this list is inherently false because someone out there thinks RAD is the greatest film of all time. We know that it exists. But Roger Ebert said before he passed that this poll was the only one to take seriously.

But the way is not back to them, but forward to the synthesis of all the best that has been done by our silent cinematography, towards a synthesis of these with the demands of today, along the lines of story and Marxist-Leninist ideological analysis. The phase of monumental synthesis in the images of the people of the epoch of socialism - the phase of socialist realism.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1579286259997-13CLUZQUFUOVFKPNMMMW/Dave+03.jpg Super 70 Podcast “There is no one on the planet that says ‘Roland Emmerich made my favorite movie.’” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1576298096529-QDCXZBIPLBQ5TIVX9TY7/Erica_Albright.jpg Super 70 Podcast “First we lived on farms.

A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus," or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1553446394954-BLJDQ18EPCQO0ERHNDAB/Pulp-Fiction-1994-Movie-Poster-720x340.jpg Super 70 Podcast “Who do you think you’re fooling?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1551634340766-F5BY4KXRYP7IHM2I67VY/Dave.png Super 70 Podcast “Weird things are going to happen.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1549850051352-K1PQER3B0K1XXMBXV9IG/terminator+05.jpg Super 70 Podcast “There is no fate but what we make.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1546718766164-R8M0ZWDTJOOCX8TEYFOQ/SUPER+FLY.jpg Super 70 Podcast “The Man can’t put no thing on me…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1541996315348-6O5C7B8CEAS4R08FCGFT/graduate-1-89a9a53629b386ca6d719604f53252c2.jpeg Super 70 Podcast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1536533320684-MJ4CT8GF5T7120MMMGQ7/invasion-of-the-body-snatchers-british-movie-poster.jpg Super 70 Podcast "Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1533507242248-1YKTBZBKH1WYT777WDE4/mildred+and+veda.jpg Super 70 Podcast "After all, it's your fault I am the way that I am." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1524362807017-L3PTFB66Y2KRRJDHVPXE/Golddiggers33-04.jpg Super 70 Podcast "We're in the money, come on in, honey..." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54515711e4b069a165af8c49/1503888152496-L7LGA2TNF5VOGLH3WBA6/ep11+-+the+general.jpg Super 70 Podcast "Silence is of the Gods.
