Time to Seriously Boycott Fox TV? Lucifer, Exorcist Episodes Celebrate Satan. No Longer a Joke

Posted on 01/24/2016 3:35:15 PM PST by Be Careful

Celebrating Satan? While Homeschool w/ no TV really is the answer for our kids, we need to push back as hard as we can on Fox.

Ideas beyond the obvious of just tuning out?

Just saw “Kelly’s Heroes” the other night. Loved Savalas in that role too.

Also, he was “GuffY” in “The Battle of the Bulge”. Another memorable character. He was ready to fight the Germans with his machine gun, after his turret was blown off.

I always remember my dad saying that movie was bullsh*t - “There was NO sun there at all... I was there, I remember.” He was referring to the sun-drenched tank battle.

A better movie from that time is “Battleground”, from 1949. My old man always commented on that, saying it was pretty damn close to what he remembered of the Ardennes.

I often wonder what he’d think of “Band of Brothers”, were he still alive to have seen it. He was WWII Airborne, after all.

My late Father never talked much about his service in the ETO, he went from North Africa to Italy to Southern France to Germany and into Austria when the war finally came to a close in Europe.

However, my Mom once told me she and he went to see Ernie Pyle's The Story of G.I. Joe with Burgess Meredith and Robert Mitchum that came out not long after the ware ended and my Dad was back.

She said she asked him afterward if the film was accurate?

"Torchy," he replied, "they came about as close as a Hollywood movie can."

It is one of my favorite war films and one of the first to have some accuracy in showing the effects of extended combat action on servicemen. Battleground is another film that got close for the times.

Now, the opening of Saving Private Ryan on Omaha Beach was very close according to an old service friend of my Father's that saw the film before he died in 2002 age 84.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to storm a defended, contested beach like they did in World War Two. If Saving Private Ryan is only close, I would dread having to do it. That's why the men who really did it are truly the Greatest Generation.

I would be ashamed for them to see the vast crop of idiots we have raise to lead this nation today--

The Devil’s Advocate is one of my favorites. Al was Shatnering, sure, but I enjoyed it.

Looks good for her age.

She’s late of “Chicago Fire”, she left it for this I suppose.

It’s right up there with “Maverick’s Re-engaging Sir!!!”
(all that’s missing was “Yay!”) from “Top Gun”.

And that’s another thing my old man said - “There WAS no massive, decisive tank battle”.

There’s a statement at the end - may have been added afterwards - about the movie representing “the spirit of the battle”.

My old man wasn’t impressed.

What still cracks me up, to this day, is that even I knew they weren’t Sherman tanks - they were M24 Chaffees; and the German “Tigers” were M47 Pattons. I was like 8 when I saw it for the first time.

And the halftracks were all American too.

But... it’s still a movie I watch when it comes on. Reminds me of my Dad. Lost him when I was 15. He was one tough dude, but the stroke was tougher.

My pop didn’t talk much about it, either, even to Mom.

He’d only mention things in passing, when we were watching a movie together here or there.

Did NOT like the SS; the only thing he said in their regard was “They were tough and pretty bad; and we NEVER took them prisoner... unless ordered.”

He had a lot of respect for the German Fallschirmjaeger, though. Paratroopers, like him.

“...the opening of Saving Private Ryan on Omaha Beach ...”

Up to that point, the only film about D-Day that stuck in my mind was Zanuck’s 1962 version of Cornelius Ryan’s “The Longest Day”.

The opening of Saving Private Ryan was incredibly savage. One wonders how anyone survived that stretch of sand called Omaha.

Then consider this as well: EVERY landing in the Pacific was an Omaha beach, except for Guadalcanal. Tarawa was horrific, as was Iwo. My dad’s 22 year old cousin died there.

Good stuff.

I wonder what all the guys that fought (and especially those that didn’t make it back) WW2 would say about what the current state of the country is?

In a way, I wish they’d say “Dolphie, it’s all yours!” and refuse to serve.

I enjoyed the first episode so much that I watched it again via On Demand to track all the witty repartee. It’s well written and well acted with wonderful timing by all concerned. The female cop is hilarious in her take-no-BS manner.
