Astrology Blackout: Hitler's Birthday Edition

Charlie Smith, over at Vancouver's Straight.com, makes an interesting point about the omission of Adolf's birthday in popular astrology celebrity birthday factoids. It seems that most astrologers don't like mentioning the old dead Nazi, but maybe there's a logical reason:

Maybe it's because commenting on the Nazi fuehrer's birthday wouldn't jive with the following descriptions of people born on this day:

* "You have tremendous resilience and fortitude and the strength of character to take on whatever comes your way. You are strong, passionate and persistent." (Eugenia Last)

* "You're a natural leader. You're dynamic, enthusiastic and interested in many things. In your personal life you're very private. You care about your home and your family. Obstacles simply act as a challenge to you." (Georgia Nicols)

Seems to me that if someone has the same birthday as someone as influential as Hitler, they probably ought to be reminded of it.

Blitzkrieg: Escape from Stalag 69

I haven’t really been able to cover as much “COMING SOON” stuff as I would like in the pages of Cinema Sewer, mainly because I like CS to have a very timeless feel, and not seem outdated in a few months. Things like new upcoming independent low budget sex-n-violence packed genre efforts have been given very little coverage. I leave that to Rue Morgue and Fangoria, and tend to focus on unearthing classic and forgotten stuff, and everything else kinda gets pushed to the side.

But recently I’ve been realising that this blog would be a great place to promote, and bring attention to these cool looking upcoming movies that I’ve been made privy to, so as with recent posts about TOKYO GORE POLICE, and MACHINE GIRL, I will be doing more of that as I become aware of movies that really should be getting more press and hype. This cool shit often falls in my lap, so I should start doing more to help promote it, I think.

In that sliced open vein, I proudly bring you a pile of disgusting *EXCLUSIVE* on-set photos and an *EXCLUSIVE* interview just for Bougie-blog readers, all from Keith Crocker’s upcoming “Blitzkrieg: Escape From Stalag 69” from Wild Eye releasing!! It’s not to often that a NEW Naziploitation gore flick comes along, (in fact there is talk that this is the first to be made in 30 years!) so click the NSFW cut-link an' check it out!

World Prepares for Hitler's Birthday, 4-20, Passover

April 20, 2008 marks a weird conjunction of the birth of Hitler, National Marijuana Day and Passover. Police in Russia are preparing for a night of violence. In the US, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) says several well-known domestic extremist groups are planning to hold racist rallies, marches, cookouts and other events in Washington, D.C., Chicago, IL, Portland, OR, Houston, TX, and Morganton, NC, in conjunction with Hitler's birthday.

I guess while those guys are busy with that, everyone else will be eating matzo and/or smokin' weed.

Koreans Love Nazis

The Coreana Cosmetics Co. television ad for a skin lotion shows a young woman in a short skirt and military-style trench coat, holding a soldier's cap that appears to have the swastika-gripping eagle Nazi insignia. Background noises of an explosion and crowds cheering in response to a man's unintelligible speech are heard.

A version shown in previews and posted on the Web contained the slogan: "Even Hitler didn't have the East and West."

The commercial still features the same militaristic imagery, but Kim said Coreana was not aware of the Nazi-style logo on the model's cap. He said the costume was selected by a stylist affiliated with Korad, a Seoul-based firm that produced the commercial.

A Korad official, Seo Sang-hee, confirmed the ad was meant to invoke a Nazi soldier and Hitler, which she said symbolized "revolution" in keeping with the lotion's "revolutionary" moisturizing and calming effects.

Hitler's vision of a super-city fit for the Reich takes shape - in minature

By: Roger Boyes in Berlin

Adolf Hitler called it Germania, his vision of Berlin as a city full of bloated marble architecture, capital of the Nazi-run world. “Berlin will only be comparable with the Ancient Egyptians, Babylonians or Romans,” the Nazi leader said. “What is London, what is Paris by comparison?”

For decades his plans were regarded as so crazed that they were confined to specialist books and institutes.

Yesterday the taboo was broken. Peer Steinbrück, the German Finance Minister, unveiled a scale model of Germania, the Führer’s supersized city. Centrepiece of the display was the domed Great Hall, planned by Albert Speer, Hitler’s master architect, to accommodate a crowd of 150,000.

“We wanted to avoid this exhibition being seen by the wrong people,” said Karl Dettmaer, deputy director of the regional picture archives, which first tried to deal with the sensitive Germania issue in the 1980s.

DIY Lego Nazi

by Dunechaser
The new Indiana Jones LEGO sets won't include Nazi minifigs -- a decision I wholeheartedly agree with. If you really want them, you can make your own. These LEGO Nazis are wearing LEGO-compatible (i.e. not LEGO) BrickForge "Military Helmets" and the gray one is armed with a "Sturmgewehr."
