a sequel / prequel to who framed roger rabbit . one was attempted during , but floundered due to many problems at disney , with steven spielberg , problems converting the characters to cgi , and a skyrocketing budget . attempts to make a sequel anyway continue to be discussed , but roger rabbit remains one of the biggest film properties to never be properly capitalized . but between bob hoskins ' retirement from acting in 2012 and his passing in 2014 , it ' s unlikely to ever materialize ( unless it ' s a prequel ) . the second film was also planned to take place during wwii and involve a bunch of wacky nazis , which spielberg outright refused , as he felt he couldn ' t satirize nazis after making schindler ' s list .

that’s the dirty little secret of america’s wars : despite the omniscient claims of some veterans , most soldiers see their version of war as if gazing through a straw at 30 , 000 feet . combat and dedication to your unit and mission naturally steer you toward such tunnel vision . and here’s the sad thing that no one wants to admit : that mantra applies as strongly to generals as to sergeants ( and if you don’t believe that , just check out our wars of the last 15 years ) . so it’s worrisome when president after president defers to and all too often hides behind the supposed wisdom of active and retired three - and four - star flag officers .

in the 1960 ' s and 1970 ' s so many action films have grace the big screen , providing some truly classic and thrilling moments for the viewer . with an all star cast , director robert aldrich crafts a thrilling and exciting action picture that delivers some stunning performances , thrills , humor and memorable action that not even today ' s action flicks can top . the cast here is brilliant and each brings something to the screen that makes this such a great film . as an action film , the dirty dozen ranks as a classic of the genre . the pacing of the film is good and lets the action steadily build up to a killer climax . as far as classic action films are concerned , you have got to see the dirty dozen . this is a fun , entertaining film that should please either action fans or war film fans , even though this is not a straight forward war film . richard aldrich directs a solid piece of cinematic intensity that will certainly appeal to die hard action fans . this is action to its bare bones , with no fancy special effects , and that ' s why it is a terrific flick to watch . brilliant and well acted this is a solid entertaining classic that still is fun to watch even today . the actors chosen play their parts well , and each shine on - screen . lee marvin is terrific in the lead role as the major who commands the dirty dozen . little flaws , but you don ' t care because this is a nonstop testosterone driven action picture that has great performances , and enough thrills to satisfy the most demanding viewer .

by now , it’s part of american lore that , facing a thorny problem or potential conflict abroad , a president should throw some stars at it . if only generals were indeed pixie dust . historically speaking , though , since world war ii , calling on the generals has often resulted in abject failure . there’s plenty of evidence of that in the last 15 years of , at best , inconclusive war in the greater middle east , but first , let’s take a brief tour of military advice from the previous century’s crises .
in october 1950 , just months after the korean war began , president harry truman met general douglas macarthur , commander of the coalition forces in korea , on wake island . there , macarthur assured the president of two things : that the chinese would not intervene in the war and that the fighting would be over by christmas . a month later , hundreds of thousands of chinese “volunteers” streamed across the yalu river into northern korea , sending macarthur’s troops into headlong retreat . wrong once , the general promptly called for a massive u . s . troop escalation and the bombing of china , perhaps even nuclear attacks on that country . truman recoiled , fired the general , and opened negotiations , all while avoiding nuclear war . and what happened to the twice - wrong macarthur ? in april 1951 , with the war still underway - - an armistice wouldn’t finally come until july 1953 - - he received a record - breaking 19 - mile - long ticker - tape parade through new york city in which 3 , 249 tons of paper rained down on him .

the script is by gary devore , an old friend of ms . gottlieb and a writer of scripts for such films as ' ' dogs of war , ' ' ' ' running scared ' ' and ' ' raw deal . ' ' mr . devore will direct as well .
it suggests the nsa is aware that it doesn’t hold a strong position in the war for public opinion , as indicated by the abrupt swing in the polls away from a pro - surveillance , do - whatever - it - takes - to - keep - us - “safe” mentality .
it highlights the siamese twin connection between u . s . counterinsurgency campaigns abroad and the metastasis of the domestic surveillance regime—which , with a nod to an earlier era , we could reasonably call the “bringing the war back home” effect ( also potentially in play with the use of drone technology ) .
dirty grandpa
boasts one great thing , and one great thing only . the chemistry between robert deniro and zac efron is much better than i was expecting it to be , and i really bought into their troubled relationship which each other . on the verge of marriage , jason kelly ( efron ) and his grandfather set out on a trip to florida once his wife passes away . at it ' s core , this film is here to explore these characters emotionally as the audience watches them take their wacky trip . self discovery and choosing what is right and wrong in life is what the message is here , and whether or not i bought into that is another story . i admired the attempt at something heartfelt , but when all of your humour is raunchy dialogue and visuals , it is hard to take a moment to enjoy the nice moments .
dirty grandpa
tries way too hard to impress it ' s target audience , and becomes a sloppily made comedy that really is not all that funny . in the end , i admired the attempt , but the execution was a little much for my taste . it really is a shame , because i love this cast , but they were not given enough to do . i did not hate sitting in the theatre watching this , but was it really worth the time ? sadly no .
this is funny , in its way . but the puny dimensions of the father ' s rhetoric are a little heartbreaking too . the truly thunderous phrases in
the plot against america ,
at least in its earlier sections , belong instead to lindbergh and his supporters . and the most powerful is this , the republican campaign slogan of 1940 :
vote for lindbergh or vote for war .
lindbergh is , after all , the dove , and roosevelt , the hawk , in the election that year - - though roth scrupulously clings to the 1940 ' s terminology of
isolationist
and
internationalist .
even the newark jews , some of them , fall prey to the isolationist logic , not to mention republican political pressure , after a while . a big - shot pro - lindbergh rabbi acknowledges that , yes , the jews of europe are suffering grievously under hitler . but won ' t things get even worse if america enters the war ? won ' t the jews of america end up suffering as well , not to mention america as a whole ? aren ' t the american jews making themselves ridiculous in their panic over anti - semitism , when lindbergh is , at bottom , a decent man with honorable goals ?
the snakerama gas station seen in the film also appears in spielberg ' s 1979 world war ii comedy , 1941 , with actress lucille benson again appearing as the proprietor . the two elderly people weaver tries to flag down in a car also appear as helpless motorists in close encounters of the third kind .
a small revolution breaks out in a small argentine town , as one group of peronists calls they newly elected peronist a communist . the newly elected official enlists the aid of allies ranging from the town drunk to young peronists to help hold his post . what follows is a slapstick war with a serious message .
what then is to be expected when it comes to the conflict with isis in iraq , the complex , multi - faceted syrian civil war , and america’s longest war of all in afghanistan ? all signs point to more of the same . open up a newspaper or check out a relevant website and you’ll find , for example , that u . s . afghan commander general john nicholson wants a new mini - surge of american troops dispatched into that country , while the u . s . commander in the fight against isis , general stephen townsend , may require yet more ground troops to “win” in iraq and syria .
' ' i believe in first - time directors , ' ' ms . gottlieb said , noting she had given first directing assignments to emile ardolino on ' ' dirty dancing , ' ' to tony bill on ' ' the ransom of red chief ' ' and to joan micklin silver on ' ' the immigrant experience , ' ' a forerunner of ' ' hester street . ' '
nott rolled a natural 1 when trying to make acid in her chemistry set . matt said that a little splashed on her glove , so she dropped it all on the floor , where it started making a hole in the wood until caleb woke up from frumpkin the sparrow and transmuted it into iron .
some of these failures are mainly from over charging hand made rounds that exceed the firearms standard . range safety seems to have gone out the window too . this just ain ' t funny folks i ' ve observed too many
close calls
as a safety nco in both the navy and army reserves and the after action activity ' s were far from hilarious .
but even the official pro - surge story ( one part steadfast resolve of george w . bush , war president ; one part counterinsurgency brilliance of gen . david petraeus ; and one part civic “awakening” that turned the sunni triangle against al qaeda ) was and is completely vague on how those epic virtues halted the ied epidemic .
we all know what our war memorial is affectionately called by residents but we can ' t print it here because the local rsl will be on the phone accusing us of being disrespectful . and we all know why it ' s called that by warrnamboolians . but we ain ' t explaining it here . you all know .
these examples obviously don’t imply that no general ever gave solid advice or that civilians weren’t perfectly capable of concocting their own hare - brained war - making schemes . rather , the point is to deflate - - just a bit - - the present all - too - popular notion of american military infallibility , or at least superiority .
presidents deserve and require such real options . too often , however , especially in this country’s 15 - year “war on terror” across the greater middle east and parts of africa , senior military leaders have failed to present plausible , achievable choices to the commander - in - chief . nearly all of them haveproved to be “more” guys .
it’s funny , though , people sometimes ask me now , “what’s really going on in afghanistan ? ” they ask the same question about iraq , where i led a unit back in 2006 - 2007 . i mean , the implication is : if you served over there , unlike those ( liberal ! ) pundits and politicians who regularly mouth off on the subject , who would know better ? but i’ve learned over the years that what they don’t want to hear is my real answer to such questions , so i rarely bother to tell them that historians , analysts , and thoughtful critics , even ones who haven’t been within thousands of miles of our war zones , probably understand the “big picture” better than most soldiers .
this was in the peak of peace and love , but it was also at the peak when everything fell apart like crazy . there was such a war going on then between the hippies and the straight world ; and straight didn’t mean heterosexual … it meant you didn’t smoke pot or you didn’t think the revolution was going to happen .
everyone loves telling you about how great things were at the long - gone rock venues of warrnambool . of course , no one actually tells you that they were dirty , sticky dives where the threat of alcohol - fuelled violence loomed large . mind you , the bands were awesome . remember that time split enz / men at work / the living end / george / rollerball played in warrnambool ? epic .
' ' there ' s something special about them , ' ' ms . gottlieb said of the novices . ' ' i believe in scripts and somebody who brings a vision to the project . gary ' s personality is very much in the script . it ' s very much the way he is as a person - irreverently funny , with a great , warm heart underneath . ' '
very little . that comes from the fact that the thing has already been at work inside me . when i see the rough drafts of certain of my friends , where everything is revised , everything’s changed , moved around , there are arrows all over the place . . . no no no . my manuscripts are very clean .
what this country needs right now are civilian leaders who think strategically , exude confidence , and aren’t afraid to challenge military advice . appropriate respect for senior servicemen shouldn’t mean either impulsive adulation or timid apprehension . civilian policymakers haven’t always been right , but since world war ii , the generals have the weaker ( and far more hair - raising ) record .
i don’t care . i’ve never met him and i hope i never do . i always said as a joke that bill [ clinton ] probably did see pink flamingos – and hillary probably did not . at the time , bill seemed a little bit more adventuresome , maybe on wanting to see weird stuff . i could be wrong !
admittedly we don ' t know where this originated from but it ' s definitely a rule . anyone who calls them
party pies
in warrnambool gets looked at funny and then corrected ( and rightly so ) . and while we ' re talking about pies , you ' re either a clarkes lover or a chitticks lover . it ' s warrnambool ' s equivalent to the beatles / stones question .
the very earliest novel by a jewish author to leave a mark on the wider literature of the united states was a lyrical album of new york street scenes called
jews without money ,
by michael gold , a bighearted and small - brained
proletarian
writer from the communist party , in 1930 . gold , in this book , had already lit on the idea of writing about himself as a fictional little boy . the idea may have come to him from reading isaac babel or other writers , probably in yiddish , who had been dabbling in autobiographical childhood fictions , back in the old world . gold ' s inspiration was to chronicle the adventures of little
mikey gold
from ages 5 to 12 , as viewed in sorrowful retrospect by his adult self . the plot , to the degree that
jews without money
has a plot , shows little mikey roaming around the lower east side , circa 1900 , growing an inch at a time and slowly discovering that his beloved father , coincidentally named herman , is merely a humble man of puny strength - - a stout - hearted father overwhelmed by powerful anti - semitic social forces , and berated by his superior , the jewish doctor , for failing to bow before his christian oppressors . and what was michael gold ' s purpose in sending little mikey around the jewish streets to make this childhood discovery ?
south park ‘s major problem with family guy is the insert gag . in “cartoon wars , ” the fictional episode of family guy seems to be a string of ( uncharitably flat ) cutaway jokes that do not relate to the narrative action . for south park , these gags are not funny because they are “random , ” not because the joke isn’t funny . the “randomness” interrupts the diegetic reality of the central emotional narrative of the episode by diverting the plot ( momentarily ) into a parallel universe without a causal or physical relationship with the narrative universe . since the jokes can never change the circumstances of the central narrative , they are without emotional weight . the audience is not permitted to relate to these gags as anything other than cleverness . it is the narrative equivalent of a stand - up monologue , rather than improv theatre .
consider , for instance , afghanistan in 2009 . things had been going poorly indeed in what was already an eight - year - old war . and so our nation turned its lonely eyes to him - - general stanley mcchrystal , a special operator fresh off a tour tracking down and killing al - qaeda in iraq’s leadership , including abu musab al - zarqawi .
the anti - semitism roth describes in the 1940 ' s springs mostly from an antiwar resentment - - from the belief that the jews , and not the nazis , bear responsibility for the war , and are trying to advance their own narrow interests at everyone else ' s expense . and perhaps a bit of this has likewise turned up in our own time . during the last two or three years , large publics in western europe and even in the united states have taken up the view that , if extremist political movements have swept across large swaths of the muslim world , and if baathists and radical islamists have slaughtered literally millions of people during these last years , and then have ended up at war with the united states , israel and its crimes must ultimately be to blame . and if america has been drawn into war in iraq , it is because president bush ' s second - level foreign policy advisers include a few jews ( though all of his top - level advisers are protestants ) , and these second - level figures have manipulated everyone else to the bidding of ariel sharon .
the military in latin america , they’re the ones who make me work harder . if they get out , if there were a change , then i could rest a little and work on poems and stories that are exclusively literary . but it’s they who give me work to do . the more they are there , the more i must be against them .
sure , we only go there once a year ( folkie ! ) and we refuse to drink the water , but port fairy is like our cool little cousin who ' s fun to hang around with but we only see at christmas time . and secretly we all want to retire there ( but none of us will be able to afford it ) .

before arndt wrote little miss sunshine , he held down a job as matthew broderick’s personal assistant . he eventually quit to focus on his writing , and it paid off big time . after winning an academy award for his very first script , he went on to pen the screenplays for toy story 3 , inside out , and star wars : the force awakens .
major danny sjursen is a u . s . army strategist and former history instructor at west point . he served tours with reconnaissance units in iraq and afghanistan . he has written a memoir and critical analysis of the iraq war , ghostriders of baghdad : soldiers , civilians , and the myth of the surge . he lives with his wife and four sons near fort leavenworth , kansas .
the directors spent several months attending child beauty pageants as research for the film . so when they were finally ready to shoot , they asked actual contestants they had met to play olive’s rivals in the fictional “little miss sunshine” competition . those contestants included eight - year - old girls like maliah hudson , who had been a fixture of the pageant circuit since she was an infant .
producer peter saraf’s niece rebecca annitto played an extra in the movie , but she sadly never got to see the final print . the teenager died in a car accident before little miss sunshine was completed . but the editors included a sweet shout - out to her in the end credits that reads , “in loving memory of rebecca annitto , a true beauty inside and out . ”
in general , no , because as i was explaining , the story is already made somewhere inside me . so , it has its dimension , its structure , it’s going to be a very short story or a fairly long story , all that is as if decided in advance . but in recent years i’ve started to sense some problems . i reflect more in front of the page . i write more slowly . and i write in a way that’s more spare . certain critics have reproached me for that , they’ve told me that little by little i’m losing that suppleness in my stories . i say what i want to , but with a greater economy of means . i don’t know if it’s for better or worse . in any case , it’s my way of writing now .

, maybe . yes , this video has some really funny stuff , belly slapping in fact . what was the soldier firing that put him on his rear end ? looked a little like the yet to be fielded xm25 counter defilade target engagement system ? and the vehicle mounted machine gun barrel falling off . no , not a bit funny in a combat situation but for this video , yes . what was it anyway , a 60 ? the leo training officer discharging a round in front of a class ! that was a classic when i was teaching classes how to change their vocabulary , never refer to any gun as unloaded , anywhere , anytime . it really is that simple .

when the hammer being wielded is one that would make the old kgb ( and the new fsb ) green with envy , and the nails are the private communications of the entire world—with residents of the good old usa just a percentage point of probability away from being lumped in with all those perpetually threatening foreigners—a little less enthusiasm for the job might not be such a bad thing , especially from gen . alexander .
cheryl’s sullen , silent son dwayne was a little different in the original casting notes . the los angeles times described this dwayne as a “mohawk - sporting bodybuilder . ” but dayton and faris cast skinny , floppy - haired paul dano in the role instead because the then - 22 - year - old actor was too good to pass up . “his mohawk was a feeling , not an external statement , ” dayton joked .

director robert aldrich took what he considered a hopelessly old - fashioned script by lukas heller and nunnally johnson and fashioned the dirty dozen into one of mgm ' s biggest moneymakers of the 1960s - - and the sixth highest - grossing film in the studio ' s history . lee marvin plays major reisman , assigned to coordinate a suicide mission on a french chateau held by top nazi officers . since no

includes a sex pervert ( telly savalas ) , a psycho ( john cassavetes ) , a retarded killer ( donald sutherland ) , and the equally malevolent charles bronson , trini lopez , jim brown , and clint walker . on the dim promise of receiving pardons if they survive , the criminals undergo a brutal training program , then are marched behind enemy lines dressed as nazi soldiers , the better to overtake the chateau and kill everyone in it - - including the innocent wives and mistresses of the german officers . ~ hal erickson , rovi
as a bonus dividend , the nsa’s information operations specialists ( what the non - militarized world calls “flacks” ) may suspect the agency’s critics on the senate intelligence committee are less familiar with the details of its iraq war spying record than they are with the finer points of stellar wind , prism , mainway , marina ad nauseam , and are thus less likely to call them out on any clapperesque “mistakes . ” ( but that’s pure speculation on my part , obviously . )
instead , they did what they were meant to do and boxed the young president into an escalatory corner , a “more” decision being not just the commander’s favored but only course of action . obama grumbled and then sent mcchrystal his reinforcements . it sounded like iraq 2006 - 2007 all over again . only this time - - the president and americans more generally were assured - - the ensuing surge would be even better , involving a supposedly comprehensive , interagency approach to the afghan war .
one of roth ' s talents is the ability to spin the decibel dial as he writes dialogue , such that , in
the plot against america ,
his little boys emit thin little sounds ( which are rendered still more plaintive by shifting into present tense ) , and the father in his humbleness emits a slightly louder tone , and cousin alvin a shriekier one . in this fashion , the tones ascend in volume until , at last , franklin roosevelt addresses an anti - lindbergh rally at madison square garden . roosevelt sonorously declaims , in syllables so majestic that only dashes will suffice ,
we - - choose - - freedom !
and the patrician grandeur booms and trembles with such fervor and magnificence that as you read these lines , you want to leap to your feet and , like churchill ' s parrot , or what is said to be churchill ' s parrot , hurl curses at the nazis .
