The Last Movie You Watched
|
Not a movie, but a mini-series on HBO ''Big Little Lies.'' It was really good!
I just finished watching Gettysburg (1993). I have always been fascinated with leadership, and IMO, this film does a great job of demonstrating effective leadership techniques and qualities, such as listening, leading by example, treating one's people with respect, equanimity, encouraging honest and open feedback, adaptability/flexibility .

Bobby Lee's top-down leadership was important in that regard. Additionally the high command had traveled in many of the same circles before the war, so they'd spoken to their peers in drawing room, tavern, and churches for years beforehand. The scene where Gen. Lee was cheered by the troops was only semi-staged. It was the first time the reenactors had seen him in full kit. He was supposed to come out and exhort the troops, but the reenactors' reaction was so overwhelming they just ran with that. 
Watched Galaxy Quest with my 8yo son yesterday. He's a Trekkie. He was mildly offended when not laughing
If you liked Gettysburg, read The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. Starts with spies and picketts, ends with Meade failing to give pursuit.

I re-watched "Screamers" after many many years. And it was a blast. It's everything you would want from SF movie: robots, spaceships, guns, post-apocalypse; but my favorite here was just slabs and slabs of concrete.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It held together well. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg) 
going to see guardians vol 2!! saw the 1st one again last night.
My wife did it to me again: she brought home another really bland and bad Christer movie ("Lucky's Treasure") from Redbox, fell asleep 20 minutes into this pious swill, and left me to watch it on my own. She pulled the same shit with "God Is Not Dead".
Let's just say that Pasolini and Scorsese have nothing to fear. |
