The Eagle Has Landed-my personal thoughts

So tonight, me and my dad finished watching a movie called The Eagle Has Landed. Its a war movie about a bunch of German soldiers who were orded to kill Winston Churchill from the "Führer" or Hitler (Führer roughly translated is 'leader' in German and thats what they often called Hitler). In the beginning, it starts out in Germany with a highly ranked German colonel (or at least i think he was a colonel) who got a letter from Hitler saying he wanted him to kill Winston Churchill. So the colonel ( i forget his name) meets with this Irish guy named Liam Devlin and he joins him on his mission. They then find this other German guy who used to be highly ranked and who has men, a bout and skills, who's name is Kurt Steiner. He also joins them. They set off on their trek to England where Churchill is planning to visit. When they get there, Devlin meets a girl, Molly Prior, and they fall madly in love (lol). About 3 quarters through the movie, the Americans catch wind of the Germans plan and thats when the battle starts. There's also a lady named Joanna Grey who deceived everyone and was really on the German's side the whole time even though she was British. So in the end, Steiner dies, the American General dies, the German colonel dies, Joanna dies, alot of the Germans die, alot of the Americans die and get this. The whole time, "Winston Churchill" was really some guy pretending to be him in case some thing like this had happened. And guess what. STEINER KILLS HIM! so yeah, this moved kinda pissed me off cuz I absolutely HATE movies where everyone dies. But lately, that happens in alot of the movies i watch. I mean, for example: Forest Gump, Inglorious Bastards, The Great Escape (well not really but alot of people do die), Water For Elephants and now this one. Good day to you, sir! ....lol....

Hugo Stiglitz DUN DUN!!!

I dont know why I haven't made a post about this before but on the weekend, me and my 23 year old cousin watched Inglorious Bastards! (yeah, the parents were not amused,lol). But anyway, I gotta say, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I know not all of its funny but when your a racist like me, everything about Germans is funny. Tee hee. There's this one scene especially that me and my cousin like best. Its only about 15 seconds long, its the part where the Bastards caught some nazi's in the ditch and the guy who Brad Pitt plays (cant remember his name) says to the nazi (granted Brad Pitt's holding a gun to the nazi's head) "have you heard of Hugo Stiglitz?". The nazi says "everyone in the German army's heard of Hugo Stiglitz" and it shows Hugo and this guitar music goes off, it hilarious. If you wanna watch it, I've posted the scene here:


And speakin of germans, during History this afternoon (we had to get in our groups but we were done so i was just talkin to random people -and by random I mean Adam, Martin 'Martinie' lol, and afterwards, JR-) and I was bein all racist not really...well kinda...whatever and towards the end of the day, I was making a nazi joke to JR and he walked off and said "i kill nazis" (or something like that) and im like "well you do that, even though you are one" and then he agreed with me that he wanted to kill the Germans when he is a german! my god. And all day we were calling Martin, 'Martini" and then me "Linguini" and Adam "Adom" we were putting "olini" at the end of everything to make it italian!
Oh and by the way, if i offend your race in anything that I post,i am sorry. Its nothing person. And most of my references are from World War 2 anyway soooo....yah. happy hunting xD

Ipod Is Busted.

Thats right. Life sucks. I never really realized how much I used my ipod until it died. I mean, it litterally died. It wont charge. It wont turn on. The battery is dead. So ever since Sunday (thats when it broke) I've been almost music deprived! I mean, I have beatles CD's and dont get me wrong, the beatles are great but sometimes I just want to listen to some Police records or some Fleetwood Mac. And one can only listen to A Hard Days Night so many times before going insane. Now, I thought I was doomed until Christmas (parents agreed to get me an Ipod touch.yay!) but last night, I burned my whole playlist of 150 songs (thats just my favourites. I have like 500 songs in total) onto CD. Granted, it took 2 hours and 7 CDs but at least I can listen to my music on my mom's walk man (a thing from the 90's. lol) So life is good again. For now. lol.

Remembrance Day

I would like to dedicate this post to all the soldiers who have died on war and continue to die for our country or which ever country you are from. A singer I know once said "It takes courage to fight your own war. It takes courage to fight someone else's war". As you might know, I am extremely interested in World War 2 and 1940's.  Some war movies that I'd recommend? Patton, The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen and you might want to watch The Big Red One. Me and my dad couldnt get through it, it was too weird for us (cutting each other's ears off, men kissing men, guts being thrown at each other and what not). Also, if your interested in holocaust (which i am as well) you'd want to watch Schindler's List although, this summer i couldnt make it through it. It was to graphic and i just burst into tears cuz usually with torture movies like Schindler's List, you just tell yourself "its not real, its not real" but in this case-it was real. Also, The Story Of Anne Frank might be a good movie for you. It does have some scenes in the death camps but its not too graphic. Also, if anyone's noticed, today is the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year of the 2000's. And we stood for a moment of silence at 11:00. Well I did, anyway. Did you? I'd like to share a poem I wrote for Remembrance Day. Its called I Raise My Hat.
I raise my hat
to the men who died
I raise my hat
to the wives who cried
I raise my hat
to the wounded and the scarred
I raise my hat
to the strong at heart
I raise my hat
to the brave and the proud
I raise my hat
to the women who lost their men in the croud
I raise my hat
to the soldiers who never came home
I raise my hat
to the mothers worrying, all alone
I raise my hat to the dead, the brave, the live and the proud.
They lost their life for you.
Surely you can raise your hat for them.
