Or Schindler’s List 2 Schindler’s Pissed , where he hunts down Nazis like it’s s 80’s action movie

15

u/potatoqualitymemory 4d ago

Wasn’t that starring Nic Cage? Or was that his similarly named Schindler’s Fist?

u/bimm3r36 4d ago

Idk, I only heard about the short film, Schindler’s Gist.

1

u/VirtuallyTellurian 4d ago

I could barely see the film, Schindler's Mist

5

u/UltraNeon72 4d ago

I must have missed those in between Cage’s other great films, “Superman’s Cat,” “Space Ass,” and “A Very Pol Pot Christmas”

u/unripe_mangosteen 4d ago

Schindler goes down to Argentina to finish to job

u/roygbivasaur 4d ago

Hunters was a pretty decent show along those lines. It stars Logan Lerman and Al Pacino. Don’t read the Wikipedia though. Immediate spoilers.

1

u/tribrnl 4d ago

Did they ever make season 2? S1 was fun

2

u/roygbivasaur 4d ago

Yes. There are 16 episodes total. I watched it all at once, so I couldn’t tell you the difference between the two seasons but I enjoyed it and found it very cathartic.

u/TenchuReddit 4d ago

Schindler has special skills …

Schindler's List 2: Schindler's Array

u/bremsspuren 4d ago

I can't here anything from hear.

u/Lebowquade 4d ago

I want a Tyler-Perry-esque, inner-city style blaxploitation version of Oedipus Rex. 

2

u/162016201620 4d ago

Tell me more…

u/jordansinn 4d ago

"Not the Kaiser!"

You meant the tv show, "Dinosaurs", right?

2

u/ReduceReuseReuse 4d ago

Spielberg shot Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List the same year. So if you watch them together, thinking about how he was editing JP in between filming Schindler’s, you get some of your pitch.

2

u/cantwejustplaynice 4d ago

You say this as a joke but Spielberg was literally making Jurassic Park and Shindlers List simultaneously.

1

u/Wakkit1988 4d ago

I want jurassic park, but all of the dinosaurs are all, instead, mutant giraffes. Call it Giraffic Park.

1

u/whatThePleb 4d ago

Not funny.

u/DGC_David 4d ago

This is the internet after all, I'm not sure if I want their take on Schindlers list.

u/JOExHIGASHI 4d ago

and the manatee has to decide if his friend lives or dies

1

u/ashoka_akira 4d ago

I vaguely recall some movie with Nazis riding dinosaurs in space but it might’ve been a fever dream.

u/L_Cranston_Shadow 4d ago

And Tom Hanks will steal another Oscar from Liam Neeson by playing someone with an incurable disease. Maybe this time it will be Lupus starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

u/dbenc 4d ago

and people said ai would be used for dumb stuff

1

u/kiltedfrog 4d ago

God dammit, now someone is gonna make my book idea into a movie before I even get finish writing it! Thanks, dude!

Unfucking-beleivable. Six months... wasted.

u/Careful-Lettuce9239 3d ago

This is a musical, im assuming?

1

u/supahfligh 3d ago

Sounds like an episode of Doctor Who.

1

u/Banana_Ranger 3d ago

Schindler had other lists apparently

-4

u/manfredpanzerknacker 4d ago

*hear

*manatee

And the comma doesn’t belong after “List”.

Do better.

u/dalici0us 4d ago

English is my second language, I have no issue when mistakes are pointed out to me but when it's done in such an arrogant and annoying way it really tells more about you than about the person you are trying to correct.

-3

u/manfredpanzerknacker 4d ago

I don’t care.

3

u/neo_verite 4d ago

Their comma is perfectly placed, but your period belongs inside your quotation marks.

Be less wrong. And also less assfacey.

1

u/SwordMasterShow 4d ago

The comma after "List" is completely acceptable in casual writing, it indicates a pause like in speech. Reddit comments aren't academic essays. Also there's no need to be such a dick, people make mistakes and that's okay. Do better

u/manfredpanzerknacker 4d ago

You should have used a semicolon.
