• Best Navy Movies?

    Updated: 2012-11-30 16:06:44
    The Huffington Post has a list of what they think are the best Navy movies of all time (of all time!)  I’ve not seen a couple of these yet, and I take issue with a few of these, most notably Destination Tokyo and Mister Roberts (no, I still don’t like it.)  I’d have to add

    Bah.  I’m going to come right out and say it.  I did not like Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden.  Not because it was controversial or any of that other crap.  But because it was pretty damned non-interesting. The movie is basically a “Fauxdoc” outlining the events leading up to and then

  • Red Dawn (2012)

    I’m going to keep this one short and sweet.  Why?  Because there’s really not much to say. This BBC documentary on the US Atom bomb drops on Japan which ended World War II is, of course, pretty comprehensive.  It’s the BBC, what else would you expect?  It’s also pretty dry and dull.  Lots of stock

  • Sunday Cartoons: Meet John Doughboy (1941)

    Updated: 2012-11-11 00:55:26
    In honor of Veterans Day I give you, Meet John Doughboy, directed by Bob Clampett.  The title is, of course, a parody of the then-hit Meet John Doe, starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.   Essentially a send-up of newsreels of the day, brought to you by Porky Pig. We are treated to several glimpses into

    Veteran’s Day is a day set aside so that we might remember all those who served our country, and most importantly, those made it back so that we can thank them properly. It was conceived after World War I (the 11th day of the 11th month) as Armistice Day by President Wilson, and then made

  • Sunday Cartoons: Any Bonds Today? (1942)

    A significant portion of the war budget during the 40′s was paid for through direct contributions, aka War Bonds.  Here we find Bugs, Elmer, and Porky making the case for putting your two cents in. Yes, Bugs Bunny does don “blackface” and does an Al Jolson impression.  While I’m not sure the intent was malicious
