I'm going to see "Churchill" . He's one of the few conservatives I respect.

At the $6.97 matinee.


I suspect he would have despised Chump. He would have seen him for the mountebank that he is.


BTW, Bryan Cox plays Churchill. He was great in Spike Lee's 25th Hour. Does anybody remember the "What could have been? " scene at the end ?

We really love movies around here. I'm eager to hear your take on this one since historical fare is our thing.

Because of his experience at Gallipoli he opposed the Normandy invasion out of fear of mass casualties. He kept getting in the way. Ike and Montgomery threw their wholehearted support for the invasion though they greatly respected Churchill.

Churchill came off as vainglorious, imperious, and extraordinarily earnest. He truly was a giant.

If Chump was president during WW ll I am not sure we would have won.


Well worth seeing.


I'm going to see Wonder Woman tonight with my gf. The tickeyts are like $17.00 a piece.

7. Thx, Dem - I'm interested in seeing it

Hope WW was a good one. The prices balance each other out.

2. Churchill made a deal with the devil of Stalin, knowing

that the devil of Hitler was far worse.

The American Right flank wanted to side with Hitler against Stalin.
