I wanna see that! The official "doesn't merit its own thread" movie trailer thread
"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU. "Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek. GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!
You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay Almost everything you post is snarky, smug, condescending, or just downright mean-spirited. --Jeffrey Lebowski
Anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make peace. --President Donald J. Trump You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war. --William Randolph Hearst
High odds that this will turn out badly. But I'll still watch it:
"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
"You are an intemperate, unscientific poster who makes light of very serious matters.”

"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
"It's no secret that the great American pastime is no longer baseball. Now it's sanctimony." -- Guy Periwinkle, The Nix.

I think it's a tease for commercial to be shown during the Super Bowl. I'd love to be surprised with more than that.
Boo!

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
"The only one of us who is so significant that Jeff owes us something simply because he decided to grace us with his presence is falafel." -- All-American
WWI documentary that Peter Jackson directed - inspired by having a grandfather and uncles who fought in the war to end all wars.
What a great film. At the end of the film, there was commentary by Jackson that was fascinating.
They used recorded interviews with actual vets from an archive in Britain done years ago to provide most of the commentary. They have a mix of still shots and film, and wanted to bring the film to life, so they hired professional lip readers to figure out what the different soldiers were saying in the silent film they had, and added voice over. Amazing. For one segment, there is an extended speech, so they figured out which unit it was from the uniforms and then when into unit archives to find the speech that was being read to the mean preparing for battle.
Jackson describes his own interest coming from hearing about his grandfather - but I didn't realize just how much of a history buff he was or how deep he was into this. He talked about wanting to match the colors of the uniforms as they went about colorizing the film - and he happened to have a bunch of uniforms he had collected for them to use. Or he went to the actual sites where the film was made and took photos for the colorizers to match the backgrounds.
They wanted to add in sound as well - I've mentioned the speech already. But he wanted to include some of the sound effects. They've got shots of soldiers loading and firing artillery cannons. So he says that he happened to have a couple of artillery cannons at home "like you do", which they used to record the sound of the breeches opening and closing as ammunition is loaded. Say what? "Like you do?"
And I love that at the end he refers to the number of soldiers who participated in the war and states that one of his primary purposes is to pique the interest of others - stating that everyone has someone within their family history who was involved and he hopes that we will go and search out their stories.
Excellent movie - unfortunately with a limited release.
