Hacksaw Ridge

The story of Desmond Doss.  One of three C.O.'s to be awarded the Medal of Honor.  What he did was truly remarkable.  Coming out 4 Nov 2016.  I will be taking Robert to see it.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'll certainly watch that once it hits Netflix.  I'd go to the theater, but there's never enough time to do that.

Looks pretty good. 

I saw that Great Wall trailer with Matt Damon and the Wonder Woman trailer.  Justice League also.  Those look interesting.
