Ugh, citing a Matrix sequel?

I'd like to see the story told, not as Washington Hagiography, but rather through the eyes of Gage, Clinton, Howe and Cornwallis. They moved between the relevant theaters of war, they sympathized with the plight of the americans and did endorse the non-treasonous ends precipitating the conflict and they were competent military men who almost did win the war. With Washington as a character like Napoleon from War and Peace (presented as a force of nature rather than a person with personality).
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Watched most of some movie about Marylin Monroe acting in a movie directed by, and starring, Lawrence Olivier.  The chick (same chick as the Good Witch in the Fabulous and Unbelievable Oz) was quite convincing in the role.  A tad better than that chick from Hee Haw with the ginormous tits.

My Week With Marilyn. It's a good little film, and Michelle Williams got an Oscar nod for her work.

This one?
Not 100% SFW
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Face looks different and the tits are too small.  70's movie I think.

Yes

It wasn't that bad. B effort as it was somewhat entertaining and definitely better than the first movie.

I can't decide whether to give Grand Budapest Hotel an A or an A+.

Were there boobs? 

If so, what was the quality of said boobs?
