Case in Point, this quote from the preface of Enjoy Your Symptom:
"Schindler's List is, at the most basic level, a remake of Jurassic Park (and, if anything, worse than the original), with the Nazis as the dinosaur monsters, Schindler as (at the film's beginning) the cynical-profiteering and opportunistic parental figure, and the ghetto Jews as threatened children (their infantilization in the film is eye-striking) - the story the film tells is about Schindler's gradual rediscovery of his paternal duty towards the Jews, and his transformation into a caring and responsible father."
So as fate would have it I'm in St. Louis visiting Washington University. In a casual conversation with one of the PhD students he mentioned this video on YouTube...incredible coincidence or amateur filmmaker that also reads Zizek? Who cares, it's awesome!

Two nights ago, I posted this quote in a thread on the imdb page for Schindler's List. The moderators deleted the thread within 10 minutes...
Oh Pablo...
Well, miracle of miracles, it seems BYU's Youtube block is at least temporarily down, so I finally got to see the Nazi dinosaurs. That's some pretty cool stuff... Especially when they use the car to hit the T-Rex/Hitler in the head!
