Ashura Majlis on 10th Muharram each year (esp. the stories - fabricated ones but damn Shias are good - regarding Ali al-Akbar and Ali al-Asghar).

Well does anyone remember the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan, when the front of the landing craft drops and they all get machine gunned to bits in ten seconds?

I was the only person in the cinema to crack up laughing. Cheesy

Why waste the ticket money, plenty of good copies online. Frankly I gave it 10 minutes and then turned it off. Not my cup of tea.

No, new films I must see:

2012
Daybreakers
Legion
Surrogates
Clash of the titans
New Moon
Wolfman

Hold up...they are remaking Clash of the titans!

Legion looks cool, also

Dude, Q-Man, I still cry at least 3 times everytime I watch Glory....it is very embarrassing.

My dad took me to see it when it came out, and it is still one of my all time favorite movies. I'm going to pop the DVD in right now

A monument for the bravery of the "54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry"
(Clicky for piccy!)

Yeah, same with me. Very moving shit that made a huge impact on me as a kid, and still has an incredible power to move me. Whenever I have time to kill on the Common, I walk by this memorial and give it the clenched fist salute.

The only gripe I've got with the movie-- and it's a pretty big one-- is the shabby treatment they gave Col. James Montgomery. While the incident involving Montgomery ordering his troops to raze the town over Shaw's moral objections was true, he wasn't the unprincipled racist the film made him out to be. Montgomery was leading an anti-slavery militia in Kansas while Shaw was still going to school in Boston, and Montgomery also actively collaborated with Harriet Tubman on union raids, so the line where he calls the Black troops "little monkey children" and shoots one of his own troops after touching a white woman is a pretty nasty and unjustified historical distortion. Montgomery was a great man and it's reprehensible a movie would do so much damage to his reputation simply for the sake of better storytelling.

Inglorious Basterds is funny. Tearjerker - the bit when the dog died in I Am Legend.

not a big film but I do like some shows like Scrubs or Lost, these two have tearjerkers in them, in Scrubs when Ben dies and Dr Cox finally realises it in Season 3: My screw-up. And the Locke moments in Lost when you see his past life and someone abadons him.

I hear what you're saying. You're spinning my head around.
