Tragedy Plus Time = 30 Minutes Or Less



If you're a fan of bombastic humor, you are gonna love this remake of this 2003 news story. Sure someone had to die so the studios could fill their pockets, but that's how posthumous fame always works. Taking a page out of George Carlin's book, the scriptwriters realized they had to take a serious message and zany it up so that every one could enjoy and learn from it. Kids. Adults. Stoners.

Sure, Schindler's List won some award or something, but if it had been a comedy - say Schindler's Set List - more people could have guffawed their way into tolerance and understanding. Cheers to the studios for putting this man's story out there. Cheers to the studios for putting the 'Art' back in artistic license.  Cheers for getting the movie out just in time for the 8 year anniversary of this tragic event!
