Yes, that is it. You know old age and memory. That scene was phenomenal and ultimately so sad. I thought it was such a great movie. But all three leads were amazing (in fact I would definitely marry Kiera Knightly, and I'm gay.) Putting that aside, I was thinking of Dunkirk in general and putting aside the fact that it was the ultimate wartime disaster, can you imagine the boatsmen who were not in the Royal Fleet who risked their lives just to go and rescue the men stranded on the beach. Such bravery and patriotism.

Any working guys out there, when was the last time you were asked to do this?

I did not realize that in the book the returning student is 24 years old. Is that how old the character is supposed to be in the movie because whatever you might say Armie Hammer does not look anywhere near 24. For me at least, that changes the tenor of the movie slightly. Not entirely, but slightly.

Burn After Reading is also a funny McDormand movie. It is nice that she has been married to her husband, Joel Coen, for umpteen years.

It is ironic. The Italians and the Irish had intense struggles and often just hated each other but they always ended up falling in love. Never failed. A very interesting and complex history. A lot had to do with the Catholic Church.

Unfortunately, I can't get the whole chapter. However, if you are interested in reading a clearly written book about many of these questions and how little it took to get a country that disregarded Hitler (remember he was not elected by the majority of the people when he became Chancellor) to one that perpetrated the Holocaust and WWII and in many cases with very little effort. It is called "Why - Explaining the Holocaust" and is written by Dr. Peter Hayes. I hate recommending things but it was very interesting, especially if you like things to be supported by documents and figures. This is one review: One of the signature strengths of this book is its construction. Each of the eight chapters addresses one of the most-asked questions about the Holocaust — Why the Jews? Why the Germans? Why murder? Why this swift and sweeping? Why didn’t Jews fight back more often? Why did survival rates diverge? Why such limited help from outside? What legacies, what lessons? The result of this approach is an explanation both broad and deep. Anchored in rigorous scholarship and punctuated with human narratives, the book makes understandable the incomprehensible. As a member of the general reading public, I’m grateful that this book neither condescends nor complicates. The author is clear in his presentation of information, concise in his style, and compelling in his arguments and conclusions. The book shattered a number of my personal misconceptions and gave me a greater understanding of the political, geographical, cultural, and ideological underpinnings of the Holocaust. Given the current political climate in the our country, the lessons and legacies Dr. Hayes identifies are particularly poignant — we must mind the beginnings. Fellow classmates at Northwestern University during my undergraduate years describe Dr. Hayes as legendary. He was so popular, in fact, that his classes were nigh impossible to get into. This books shows why."

A god! He was young here. That only got bigger and better as time went on. Plus he was versatile so he knew what a hole was for.

Darn, it just makes me wish it were the Summer Olympics coming up.

I know "level" I would expect.

Holey-moley!!!!

I am really looking forward to seeing Ladybird (although at first I thought it was about Mrs. Johnson). Also, saw Get Out and liked it a lot. The performances are very strong. Daniel Kaluuya obviously gave a strong performance. Catherine Keener subtly played against type but I always believe she is a really great actress that I wish would do more. Allison Williams also was great. The guy who plays the TSA agent is hysterical. I hope he does more.

Now that is definitely a Break-My-Back Cowboy Mountain.

Ah, Kris (I think).

Definitely bend over, babe. But keep your hair away from the flame.

He's not shy about a good butt shot. I think he is brilliant in The Deuce.

He's certainly not shy.

Has anyone seen The Disaster Artist? What did you think of it?

I am really looking forward to seeing I Tonya. I am glad that you get a movie presenting different perspectives in one film. Or at least that is what is purported.

That is why I think the performances (actually Heath Ledger) is credible because he was able to portray a man growing up with a particular past (with very little love at all) in a community that has what would seem like very little, if any, affirmation of being gay (in fact his father forces him to witness the consequences of being gay in his town) coming to terms with his being gay and all that meant in his life. This would include his betrayal of his fiancé and later wife and his continuing to do so. It would also include the gay relationship's effect on his children. I think he was quite effective. I guess Jake Gyllenhaal gave an effective performance because in reality he seemed like someone who was more aggressive and who had accepted a lot about himself before meeting Heath Ledger so he had less far to go. Brokeback Mountain (put out over a decade ago) and Call Me By Your Name are much different films and so it is hard to compare them.

Now, that is a pretty one and certainly puts to rest the Asian stereotype.

Honey, THAT"S what you found sexy about him.

My imagination goes wild with these possibilities. The phrase "two by two" comes to mind.

Oliver, magnifique.

Wow. He looks like a guy I dated for a very limited time when I was very young.

And I am so glad you did.
