I'm posting something because someone asked me too, they were going nuts without fresh comments from me...I think he has a little man crush on me.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Take THAT, JD!!!
Okay, something to talk about....

I have a lot of work the next few weeks. Yay!
I'm a Christmas kinda guy and I watch a lot of Christmas movies, the one to the left here I just watched on Sunday. It is NOT your typical feel-good holiday flick but it was very good...thought provoking. A good one to watch later in the evening after little ones have gone to bed or whatever.
It's set in WWI and based on various reports of fraternization between enemy forces on Christmas. This movie concentrates on German, French and Scottish soldiers who find themselves brought together by music wafting out of the trenches on Christmas Eve. They eventually come out in the open and start to see the men they are fighting against for who they really are, knowing full well they will be looking at each other once again over rifle sites when Christmas is over.
Good movie, really enjoyed it. The different nationalities speak in their respective languages so there is a bit of caption reading but it's worth it. The DVD edition I had had an interview with the French director in French....had to pause a couple spots were he got extra chatty but it was worth it because it's in the interview we learn how much is true and hear about some of the real events and people who inspired the story.

Yeah, I caught a review of this sometime ago and made a mental note to check it out. I'll have to do that soon.
It's kind of weird. I think the director had kind of an anti-war feeling behind it but I think he intentionally leaves you to think and discuss and find your own conclusions. He doesn't beat you over the head with HIS ideology.
Wasn't there an American movie about the same event made a few years ago starring Frank Whaley?
JD may have a crush on you, but he's afraid of nipples so use that to thwart him.

Yeah, that's the guy from Career Opportunities with Jennifer Connelly, right? When i first saw this movie on Netflix I wondered if it was the movie you're talking about.
Just looked it up "A Midnight Clear" was about Americans and Germans at Xmas during WWII. Same idea different war.
hmmmmmmmm...Jennifer Connelly.
