Joe Don Baker IS Mittens!

It may not be a popular opinion among the crustier MSTies, but I liked Jonah/Baron/Hampton/Felicia/Patton. They definitely gave off an air of trying too hard early on, but that team produced some legitimate classic episodes.

It’s my fault you’re an ass?

ya after poking around a bit, I think I was confusing the landing with the second part of the plan, which was “meet up with Canadians from Juno”

James Doohan got a finger shot off and spent all of “Star Trek” hiding it.

Chernobyl is pretty good so far.

No love for “The Expanse”?  Seriously?

But nobody ever mentions the Russians,

Theodore Roosevelt Jr was the only general to land at D-Day with the first wave of troops. His division commander was very reluctant to approve Roosevelt’s request to do so, knowing that Roosevelt had a heart condition, and said afterward that he did not expect him to survive the operation. 

Subtitled dialogue: "I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque."

“We’ll start the war from here”

Longest Day is one of those movies that (unintentionally, of course) works great on basic cable, because you can watch almost any part between commercial breaks and there’s a segment worth watching. The vignettes are generally well constructed and make sense in isolation. I think that probably makes it work less well…

It’s been forever since I’ve watched The Longest Day, but I definitely want to to re-watch it again now, since I’ve done a lot more reading into the Pegasus Bridge operation that major John Howard commanded (granted that’s mostly from the perspective of playing a tabletop miniature war game Flames of War as a British…

Ome interesting thing about D-Day was the massive counterintelligence campaign launched by the Allies to convince the Germans that Normandy wasn’t the planned invasion site or was at the very least a distraction called Operation Fortitude (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Fortitude).

“Henry Fonda is another general, the son of Teddy Roosevelt, whose pride won’t let him sit out the invasion even though he’s suffering from arthritis.”

That’s some straight-up Manitowoc beauty right there.

Yeah, I was nodding until Captain Marvel and thought “I’d put that lower.” Then I got to Infinity War, and I thought “You’re fucking insane.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I always find it appropriate when people praise moments from The First Avenger, they always seem to come from the first half of the movie. Before Steve goes off to war and fights magically empowered raygun-equipped Not-Nazis who capture him in a circle of flame instead of roasting him alive.
