Well, you've read the notes, the notes were final and proofed, and now it is time for you to post until the proofed cows come home, finally.

Topic of the Day:  Star Wars. ;)

I've seen a few "real" war movies, but not a lot.  I'll have to think about this one.

This morning I see my urologist and learn the results of that last MRI.  I had my second panic attack last night, and I'm a bit weepy at the moment.  I've known several friends who have been through prostate cancer treatment and beat it, but I'll breathe easier when I know the actual state of things.

DR JohnG, the Pamela Brown who played Nicklaus in Michael Powell's The Tales of Hoffmann is not the actress you are thinking of.

Thanks for the sleep vibes yesterday, DR Jrand70.  They didn't work 100%, but well enough, I think.

Butter is not as soft as it used to be because cows are now being fed palm oil and its byproducts.

TOD

My mom and dad probably watched some of the old ones on TV when I was a kid, but Patton was my first one to watch on purpose, and at a theater. I was sort of dragged to it by a friend who was a little older than me, who had always felt a strong connection to his dad's participation in the war in Germany. Well, I ended up liking it -- the acting (it was my introduction to George C. Scott and very likely Karl Malden), the music, the scope, the color.

Interestingly (to me), it played its first run in the same fabulous suburban Cleveland theater where we saw Lawrence of Arabia in re-release for the first time in roughly that same year...followed by The Godfather which was my first time experiencing actual lines at a movie theater.

But I digress!

Patton
M*A*S*H
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon

And in more recent times, Dunkirk in 70mm IMAX

Although not a war movie aficionado as such, I'm sure I'm leaving out a few that I've really liked. I've also had Paths of Glory sitting here in a to-be-watched stack for the longest time.

Kitty cleanup is finished and the bed is made.  After breakfast and my meds, I will put on my shoes and head out.
