re: TO TbirdSpur: About Django -- so off topic that the OT board is inappropriate.

And I don't know if he was aiming for this, but the really SCARY thing about that role was how perfectly it portrayed the banality of evil. That's the most disturbing thing about the Nazis, really. Not only did they systematically execute millions, force millions into slave labor, and attempt to conquer the world, but aside from Goring, who was flamboyant, and Goebbels, who looked like a Satanic rat and had a history of obsessive, violent anti-semitism, they did all that while looking and acting totally "meh". Hitler was a vegetarian watercolor painter with a soft-spot for dogs. Had Germany won WWI or had he been accepted as an art student, he'd have been a complete nobody. Waltz's character isn't just educated, he's erudite and refined. He'd be welcome anywhere as a handsome fellow, fine conversationalist and mannerly, composed gentleman. But actually he's a state-sponsored serial killer.
