Ok, I appreciate the answers. I'm at Galaxycon with one of my kids, and I guess I've lived in a bubble for a while, because this is the first time I've seen a large gathering of furries.

Come watch the SAW PPV. I'm the only GiP wrestler on the roster at the moment and in a 3 on 1 handicap match with some damned skeletons. https://twitch.tv/tha_swizzler For those that have no idea what it is, they make create-a-wrestlers based on poster's avatars. It's all AI vs AI. It's dumb but a lot of fun.

Yeah Glory is by far the winner. I think the only three good Civil War movies are Glory (top by far, and great across the board), Gone With the Wind (mostly for it's role in cinema history, despite romanticizing the south), and Lincoln (only for Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones, because the Spielberg Schmaltz is super cloying).

I inherited a DVD of Gone with the wind from my Grandfather. I put the wrong side on first and thus enjoyed a dramatic, punchy film that started with a gripping cold opening panning across a sea of wounded soldiers.

We've gotten several ahistorical or barely historical films about the fun involved in massacring Nazis. I want my Reb-stomping Civil War action movies. And no, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter does not count.

One of the fine folks in the BSS Newspaper Comics megathread has been posting old comic scans and occasionally posts other delightful mid 20th century newspaper clippings. I read this and immediately wondered which of us time traveled from 1954: Selachian posted:

This is my favourite letter to the editor. It's from early in the Land wars (1863) in NZ when the English were panicking since most of the army was a hemisphere away. The idea of attempting to move through subtropical rainforest with a 9 foot pike is beyond ludicrous to me. Or the idea that the Maori would come out to play with such a formation.![]() Jaguars! fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Dec 8, 2024 |

I mean, the TLDR version is all you really need. just goes to show that 'helpful' suggestions from know-it-alls aren't a new thing. Lad genuinely thinks a book he read on the 1798 rising in Ireland is going to help win a war that couldn't be more different.

In which the book specifically (The Killer Angels) was sooooooooooooo much better than the movie. I've also been watching a bunch of Equalizer clips of Denzel and am now realizing he was 68 when he shot Equalizer 3. I think he said he's doing Black Panther 3, King Lear and then Othello and retiring and may he live to be 120. SquirrelyPSU fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Dec 28, 2024 |
