Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Hacker-Pschorr Original Oktoberfest

Hacker-Pschorr Original Oktoberfest
Having enjoyed German brewery Hacker-Pschorr's wheat beer immensely, I figured that their amber Marzen would be a safe bet. However, it falls short. Light on malty flavor, it comes off a bit bland. After having one, I struggled to get excited about finishing the sixer (which is saying something).

New to the Collection: The Great Dictator (1940)

Every time Saucy adds a new DVD to his increasingly mammoth film collection, he will take the time to provide five indelible scenes that convinced him to spend his hard-earned sheckles on something he could have gotten for free with a DVD burner and a Netflix subscription. This installment discusses The Great Dictator, a 1940 satire of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich by silent film legend Charles Chaplin.

1.) The Globe Sequence
Easily the film’s most indelible scene, it shows a mad man in love with his own ambitions, oblivious to (or more likely, unmoved by) the calamities his megalomania is having on thousands of “Tomanian” citizens. Also, it is just an incredibly shot, choreographed, and acted sequence by a man as graceful as he was bold. Even showcases some early wire work.
