Oh, please ... don't give me this about it's sad to be watching war movies on Thanksgiving. Your thankful ass has been planted in front of the television for the Macy's Parade and likely for football and / or movies later on in the day. That's sooooo sad (larfs).
Cadillac Man and I were hooting it last night about how people get sad when they hear you're single.
Oh gee, maybe you will meet someone (larfs).
It didn't seem you were too thankful for the last two articles. I wrote one about how men are screwed by genetics and that's not some wimpy crap about it sucks to be a man or a woman but rather it's some real science on the matter. (Ithaka: Yes, Men, the Genetic Cards Really Are Stacked Against Us)
You weren't thankful at all to hear about George King but he is such a freakshow. We love lunatics here ... but maybe that's just a Rockhouse thing. (Ithaka: George King, First Cracker in the Cracker Barrel)
Thanksgiving Eve doesn't mean anything whatsoever but the non-event still needed a non-celebration and that went to "Tora Tora Tora," the story of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese Army got out of control and pushed the country into a war even when the Emperor and definitely Yamamoto didn't want to do it. That couldn't happen at the Pentagon, tho; no way of that.
Ed: it already did.
Right you are, mate.
The movie also gave extensive coverage but no comment regarding the diplomatic failsafes which are supposed to prevent wars but had failed altogether due to a combination of human and technical malfunctions.
But that couldn't happen now.
Ed: yeah, right.
Actually here's something for thankfulness since there's one saving grace to Donald Trump, at least so far. His conciliatory tone with Putin shows the potential for standing down on Obama's malicious brinksmanship on Russia's borders where Obama has pushed NATO.
Ed: or Obama let the military push him into it.
See above about Japan. There's a consequence for that. If Trump reverses that policy then he will have done something positive and useful. There's no chance Clinton would have done that so Trump still wins despite enormous negatives.
I tapped out on the Bond movies since "Never Say Never Again" was the last I had not seen. That movie was all wrong as some other outfit produced it. Lois Maxwell wasn't Miss Moneypenny and so on. That just ain't right. Seeing Jill St John being auctioned off to wild men on horses was novel, tho.
"Midway" may be the good pick but it's got a lot of the personal when really what we want is the tactical. It was an enormously important battle and decisive toward the outcome of the war but it could have fallen apart so easily. The intrigue isn't so much the military aspect but rather it's the fate of nations hangs on the tiniest things.
