You and I saw the same movie.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Weinstein, who was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2004, said he "was willing to give up my own CBE" to make that happen.

Hotlips O'Houlihan: "If you don't turn them over to the MPs this minute, I - -I'm going to resign my commission!

Colonel Blake:"Goddamit, Hot Lips, resign your goddam commission!"

The thing is he was as gay as gay gets.

I watched the doc. Codebreaker after I saw the movie and the movie is a bit light compared to the documentary.

“Turing was a queer?

I’m surprised he wasn’t a double agent.”

Well, he actually was a great thinker, and his work saved who knows how many lives (on all sides) and also saved the world from a lot of destruction.

I’m not in favor of that lifestyle, and I’m certainly not in favor of marriage, child adoption, etc., but these people do exist, I believe most of them were born that way, and in this and other cases, they contribute.

As long as they don’t shove it in my face or try to pass it off as “normal”, I’m OK.

Weinstein is busy trying to sell his BULL$HIT spin in order to MAKE MONEY.

Weinstein's lust for MONEY is similar to a fly's attraction to $hit.

[The Antiyuppie]

“In reality, there was a layer of minds above them, selecting, guiding, and judging them. The minds you never have and never will hear about.”

Well, that’s true - people like Vannevar Bush, James Conant, and General Groves.THOSE people really fascinate me.

For example, Groves purchased the land for Oak Ridge before he was actually authorized. He signed for virtually the entire silver stockpile of the US in order to make the magnets and wiring at Oak Ridge. After the project, he returned all but a few ounces to the US Treasury, which may have been lost to tarnish.

Bush was just a flat genius - but not a “young gun” at the time.

These people really fit the designation, “Big Men”.

1940: "I'm a codebreaker who saved the world!!!"

2015: "I'm gay! And a codebreaker, who saved the world."

Sad, the times we live in.

I wanted to see how TURING solved the ENIGMA MACHINE code

Actually it was Polish Cryptographers who solved the Enigma code.

I agree muir...thought the movie was excellent. The other 5 adults with me agreed. NONE are liberals or gay or tangent driven.. Just movie enthusiasts and most history buffs.
