Good night, and good luck

So, I'm still listening to the WWII radio thing. Currently running is a newscast from Edward R Murrow. Reminded me that I'd seen a trailer for a movie about his battle with McCarthy coming up soon. Looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes and _YOW!_ It's got a 96% Fresh rating. I am completely stunned. I can't even imagine something this politically charged getting a rating that high. There are a lot of reviewers who would ding it just because they don't like the message.

Stunning! Now I really can't wait to see it.

PS: Discovered that the demo for tomorrow is a LOT less than I thought it was and that even despite hardware issues, I'm way ahead of schedule. Woot! That means I might actually get to sleep tonight! ^_^

Do you happen to know is the movie clips used in The Wall are from an actual movie?

You'd probably like to visit http://www.archive.org/details/movies to download newsreels of the time and the stuff. The Prelinger archives deserve a special mention, since they're filled with zillions of movies, very interesting footage (starting on San Francisco 1906 earthquake) to the early 80s.

Check the WWII movies, they sure worth the visit.
