    This makes me sad. Downfall may be my favorite film ever. My favorite meme drawn from Downfall was made by our own AA. Does anyone have easy access to it? I’d like to watch it again in homage.

      I’ve got it on vhs when I recorded it off of USA late one night. You want me to send you the tape?
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

          The sailor in the famous photo that appeared in Life Magazine and taken at Times Square when Japan's surrender was announced has died

          I may be small, but I'm slow.

          A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

            That's a great shot.

            Somewhat less great, thought, to learn that the sailor was basically sexually assaulting that woman. Per the article, he was running around kissing any woman he could find. On the other hand, she doesn't seem to mind.

              He probably wasn't the only one I imagine finding out you are not going to die release some inhabitions It's definitely iconic and next to the Rosenthal's Iwo Jima flag raising shot, probably the most famous of the WW II photos. I found the fact that if the Nurse had been in dark clothes Einsenstad wouldn't have taken the photo interesting

                  Maybe some other dude on the street will beat you to it.

                        Mark Hollis of Talk Talk. This one hurts more than I would have guessed. Talk Talk is a band I will fight anyone to the death about. Laughing Stock hit me like a dump truck the first time I heard it. He basically quit music and just focused on his family 20 years ago. But the fact that he never got the status he derserves bums me out.

                            His "It's My Life" I felt was one of the best songs during that British new wave era. I've listened to some of his later stuff but it's very dark and moody, I have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to it.

                              Dark and moody is my wheelhouse. The last two albums influenced so many post-rock and minimalist bands of the 90s.

                                The War on Drugs reminds me a little of them except lighter.
