movie review"1917".

i so seldom seek to sit inside an actual movie theater anymore.however ...some films are absolutely tailored for it.life of pigravityavatar3 examples of movies which do not translate to your home viewing...at all.good, bad, or indifferent - some films are visual and immersive.. here is a sacred pronouncement:movies are a visual medium.in the hands of an orson welles (i.e.

citizen kane) they are a radio play+visual storytelling medium._____.

Terry. you've sold it to me. I will be going.

I agree with your comments about CGI. I think if a nuclear explosion occurred within sight now it would be dismissed as unrealistic. We have been so inured by big bangs, splattering blood and the like that excellent non-computerised film making has been devalued. CGI has it's place but your observation is so true, the key is restraint.

It can be compared to public speaking. Many feel that the key to emphasis is to speak faster and louder until blood vessels are popping. Give me the contrast of the quiet pause followed by an almost whispered truth. Power is in restraint.

Keep safe Smithy.

currently reading : 30 years a watchtower slave.

cannot put it down.. this book pre-dates ray franz book "crisis of conscience", written from early 20th century, shortly after the jehovah's witnesses were formed.

the author describes the original true background of the watchtower society as a multi-million dollar publishing company.

Marley Cole I believe. This was in or bookshelves 50 years ago. It was my first furtive glance under the stone as a boy.

Edit to say, I am confusing Marley Cole's book "Jehovah's Witnesses - The new World Society". We had them both on the shelf.

the co got on his hind legs for the public talk and repeated twice "tolerance promotes division".

then backed it up by saying that if one group march for some right, another group will march for the opposite.. so jws are intolerant and proud of it.

f@@@k me sideways.. may explain that the baptism tally was 0..

I would like to know if this is straight from the outline. If any PIMO people like me would keep an ear out for this in the public talk in the CO version of the circuit assembly (not the special visitation one) it can be confirmed as being from head office.

intolerance promotes unity

And there it is. WT requires obedient unity above everything. The vacant smile, the mindless staged expressions of "love" during international conventions. There is no room for tolerance or inclusiveness. All must march in lockstep on their way to North Korea.

Hail the Great Leader.

Repeated twice with great gravity and then again later. I think it was from the outline.

So JWs are intolerant and proud of it. F@@@k me sideways.
