Red Tails (2012) HD Movie Trailer – Lucasfilm Official Trailer

Leave a comment

Click link below trailer for George Lucas’ comments

I received this important email from a friend.  I believe ‘Red Tails’ is a film worth watching.

All, thanks to a friend who won tickets, I was fortunate to see an advanced viewing of Red Tails.  As you may know, it’s George Lucas’ version of the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, > 20 years in the making, and has a predominantly Black cast, certainly all the main actors are Black.

As it goes, when the movie was finally ready for production, no production company would take it, so George Lucas had to write a check.  After production completed, no distribution company would take it.  So, George Lucas had to write another check.  The advanced viewing sponsored by Wells Fargo and the Museum for Black History Diaspora (not sure of the exact name).

The movie is intriguing and has edge-of-your-seat action.  It’s well done, and certainly worth the look.

I’m urging all of you to see this movie, and tell others about it as well.  Anything we can do to ensure large numbers of viewers in the first few days of release, scheduled for 20 Jan 2012, will make a statement to the production and distribution companies that were not interested in this film for whatever reasons, that they made a miscalculation.

If each of you tells as many people about this as you can, and attempts to take 4 or 5 people with you to see the film, that will be like a geometric progression, and could potentially push the numbers off the chart.

And . . . George can get his money back!

Man this is some scary topic.  I for one don’t like vulnerability in myself, in someone else it is okay.

‘STAND BY ME’ from the World

Leave a comment

Click link below picture

I get some great emails. Here is another great one from an email friend.

Below is a link to one of the best pieces of sound engineering work I have ever seen & heard. It is a composite audio/video of a song whereby additional tracks were laid in by different singers and musicians from different places around the world. The finished product is tremendous!
The song itself is that classic standard “Stand By Me”, originally released in 1955, by The Staple Singers and released again in 1961 by the Drifters. This composite version is a real toe tapper.
So turn up the speaker volume

WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET!

Leave a comment

A friend sent me this IMPORTANT email:

When I was a kid, I couldn’t understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why.

General Eisenhower Warned Us.

It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’

This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while many in the world looked the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.


This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Centre

‘NEVER HAPPENED’,

because it offends someone???
