Memorial day movie week continued with...

Glory

Mew.

That movie was great until the bad guys won in the end.

The movie was great until the Battle of Antietam ended.
I enjoyed it up to the point where they started to do voiceovers.

I don't even remember that battle of Antietam in that movie.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Mayor of The Sunset Strip. Doc from awhile ago about Rodney Bingenheimer, the LA DJ who helped bring Bowie to the attention of America, body doubled for Davy Jones on The Monkees, but all the while was still something of a sad sack. Very well filmed doc... I'd seen it when it came out... the scariest thing that I'd forgotten about it was the early 2000's Bald Joan Jett giving an interview about Rodney.

I like how he simply abandoned his club The English Disco... when the word disco changed from meaning a club where people danced & did a lot of coke and fucked Pam Des Barres to a kind of crappy music that you danced to while doing coke and fucking Pam Des Barres.

It's been a long time since I saw the film.  I remember them training and such, and protesting their pay, then getting killed at fort Wagner.

I didn't remember it.  I watched the video and looked up his unit the 2nd Mass.  At that battle they lost 12 men and 51 wounded.  Don't know out how many though.  It had 22 officers and 294 enlisted men a year later so it was probably more then that ( a lot of Union units didn't use replacements).  My guess is unit wasn't as torn up at the actual battle as was displayed in the film.

EDIT:  I still have Sid Meier's Antitiem on my hard drive.  According to the OOB of that they had 488 men and officers.  What is not clear is that apparently a zouaves unit hand been merged into the 2nd Mass.  I don't know if that number counts the zouaves or not or how long that unit remained with the 2nd Mass.  If the number is correct though, 63 casualties out of nearly five hundred is pretty good for a major civil war battle where regiments could easily lose 50% of their strength.  The New York 69th lost 60% of it's number at the same battle.

The Messenger.

it starred Woody Harrelson as a Casualty Reporting Officer telling NOKs (next of kins) that thier loved one/family member died in Iraq. Quite moving for a while but lost the plot just a little bit towards the end.

Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
