She had a great career all around.

That would probably be an extreme step and earn me a few nasty grams

I saw this yesterday and it's amazing, which is an understatement. On top of your comments, it's also in 3D. The essence of the film is life in the trenches and surviving bombardments and that seems as real as you can get. The actual fighting scenes were more generic because it was hard for a cameraman to follow the soldiers into action. What makes this amazing is the 3D effect and the colorization. After the movie was over Peter Jackson talked about how he made the movie and that was more amazing still. For example, he had people lip read what some of the soldiers were saying and then when they figured out where that battalion was from, he’d have people from that area read the lines. Another example was how they slowed the film down. WWI film was shot at different speeds than today. They managed to get every film down to the correct speed. His attention to detail was outstanding. Amazing film.

That’s what I was thinking when I posted what I said yesterday. I regret now posting it. I should have realized this would happen.

Must have been amazing.

Sorry I unleashed this discussion as it's now become a little heated and political.

Excellent!

Following yesterday's win, the top 4 in the draft are now the Cardinals, Raiders, Jets and 49ers. To say that my son -- a 49er fan -- was pissed ("fucking losers!') is a massive understatement.

A very enjoyable disc.

Looks like the Niners are trying to cost themselves the number 1 pick.

Everything can’t be judged by today’s mores. I think we make a mistake when we do that.

Peter Jackson has made a special documentary about World War I; he has taken film of British soldiers, cleaned it up, removing defects from grainy footage and so forth and colorized it. The documentary received rave reviews when it was shown in the U.K. The documentary is being shown in theatres tomorrow, December 17, and December 27 that feature Fathom Events. I plan on going tomorrow. Here's a review from the LA Times. Peter Jackson’s documentary ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ brings WWI footage to life

RIP Ms. Wilson. Did they hire her?

ITunes and Amazon Video have it for $10. I find TCM to be worth the price for what I pay for DIrect TV.

It was on TCM several months ago and I taped it; finally got around to watch it. If I see it coming up again, I will pm you.

We watched this tonight. It was better than I thought it would be. Worth seeing.

I think we've lost perspective on some things. You can't always view everything through today's prism.

Now, how about that

Hope this is not considered political. If so, I have no issue with it being deleted. How ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ Went From Parlor Act to Problematic

Another belated! Hope it was a good one.

Good article. Their winning was absurd.

Sometimes that’s all it takes. Do you think Mazeroski would be in the HOF if he didn’t hit the HR win the 1960 WS?
