Autumn for Hitler: A Not-So-Gay Romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden

Well, I just saw a cheery little movie called Downfall, based on the experiences of Hitler's secretary, who was down there in bunker with him and managed to escape and survive. This movie was apparently controversial for its portrayal of a complex, human Hitler. Which on one hand, sure, I understand why it's controversial, but I'm on the other hand, I'm like, why the hell not? What does it profit anyone to just think of this man as an inhuman monster? What lesson do we take away from that? The thing is, the Hitler in this movie *is* complex and very human, but at the end of the day is most certainly *not* sympathetic. He's a paranoid, bitter, hateful little man, and thanks to Bruno Ganz's (Wings of Desire) performance, is totally believable. Which, of course, makes him all the more horrifying.

The movie was fascinating and immensely watchable, with the exception of the scene that's come to be the film's most infamous. Which is to say without spoilers, the scene with Magda Goebbels. I've seen a lot of things in movies, and hell, I'm the guy who can watch Requiem for a Dream and come out of it with a smile on my face... but man, I had to fast-forward through this scene. Maybe it's just because I was so tired, but man, it was one of the most upsetting things I've ever seen in film. Maybe because it actually happened. Probably. I'm now wanting to do a bit of research to see how much of the film is accurate.

Damn good movie. So good, it makes me wanna read a book. ;)

(I hate having to use emoticons, but there's always that risk that someone's gonna mistake my tone and then a whole thing'll start up. Which is one reason I didn't say here that now I'm interested in researching a bit on Albert Speer. Whoops, just did. I just liked his portrayal in the movie as the guy who says, "Screw you guys, I'm going home." And because I think he was one of the inspirations for John Halder in Good)

Batman/Daredevil... or rather, Harvey Dent/Two-Face/Mary Walker/Typhoid Mary

Y'know, I'd really love to do a Batman/Daredevil cross-over. Now, I know they've been done, but who really remembers or gives a shit about them? No one, sadly. I think it'd be a great story anyway, but there's one reason I want to do this story, one reason above all. Well, two actually. Or technically four.

Two-Face and Typhoid Mary.

Most of you are probably familar with the former, the good guy district attorney who snapped and became one of Batman's greatest foes, perhaps just under the Joker. Fewer of you know Mary, sweet, shy little Mary who houses the split personality of Typhoid Mary, a fucking crazy ass psycho nymphomaniac who has poison kisses, the ability to telepathically set fires, and loves knives and fishnets. The only reason they haven't shown her fuck someone's open wound with a strap-on is because the comics code wouldn't allow it, the wimps, but I know she would. She's just that crazy psycho.

You just know if these two met up, it would only lead to violent, violent, angry, vicious, nasty, hateful fucking. Like, buildings would be demolished. And of course they'd keep changing personalities throughout. From Harvey to Typhoid to Mary to Two-Face, round and round they'd go. It would be the only two person foursome in history, and it'd just be *fucked up* man. Just vicious, evil, nasty, dirty, wrong, terribly, terribly wrong sex.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that I simply have to write this story. If I can't do it as a comic, then one of these days I'll simply have to write the FanFiction. It'll be an actual story, but I would have to dedicate an entire issue to the sex. This would be an interesting experiment for me, of all people, to see how far I can push this. Perhaps I'll have to go to some of my good friends here for help and suggestions as to the best worst nasty violent sex ideas out there, eh?

One of these days, oh yes, I will totally have to do this. Even FanFiction, if that's what I'm reduced to. But come on, tell me you wouldn't rather visually see that happen. Scars and fishnets, baby.
