- His username is a reference to a Confederate infantry company.
- He appears to be quite the fan of noted Third Reich filmmaker and war crimes defendant Veit Harlan, yet somewhat conspicuously has not rated what is by far the director's best known work, the Goebbels-produced propaganda film Jud Süß ("Süss the Jew").
- He would appear to be Criticker's foremost authority on Third Reich cinema in general.
- He was a member of the U.S. Navy, per his review of Down Periscope: "clever and funny, but if you weren't in the Navy you probably won't get a lot of the humor."
- He is a great admirer of both Sigur Rós and their home nation of Iceland, per his review of Heima.
- He would like us to "Note the pre-war positive depiction of Germans" in 1940's 21 Days Together.
- He feels Mel Gibson is well above Dragged Across Concrete: "What is Mel Gibson doing in this trash?"
- He sees Black Mirror as "ugly glimpses of future Britain's multicultural idiocracy."
- He is no fan of the Second Vatican Council.
- He highly values films that positively portray traditional gender roles, i.e. those which "advocate motherhood".
- He appears to have a major preoccupation with "degenerate" art, a word/phrase which appears many, many times in his reviews. In case you aren't familiar with the subtext...
- He thinks that no film "has really portrayed skinheads fairly."
- He has not yet ranked Green Room.
What EmeraldGuard Said: An ugly window into the lives of an insolent backstabbing bitch and her alcoholic mother.
Man's Castle (1933)
What EmeraldGuard Said: Enjoyed this until I realized an unspoken theme of the film, apparently condoned by the filmmakers: they 'shack up' & are sleeping together before marriage, with predictable results.
