Pasted the script to Whorfin's speech with a bit of context as the president of the US is about declare war on Dr. Whorfin (from Planet 10). This with lunatics who would be premiers of nations: PRESIDENT WIDMARK's hospital room. MRS. JOHNSON has just finished playing JOHN EMDALL's message. PRESIDENT WIDMARK: Well... Mrs. Johnson, thank you. It's certainly... food for thought. SMIRNOFF: No answer at the Kremlin, sir. Just dead silence. PRESIDENT WIDMARK: Then, I guess... the moment is upon us. GENERAL CATBURD: Here ya go, Mr. President. The Presidential emergency action document. For your eyes only. John Hancock these, and Hail Mary. GENERAL CATBURD hands documents to the PRESIDENT. SENATOR CUNNINGHAM: You know... on second thought, maybe we should think this through a bit more, so that future generations of Americans will... The lights dim and flicker again. More weird electronic noises. MRS. JOHNSON: Oh, wow. PRESIDENT WIDMARK: (reading document) Declaration of War - the Short Form. Road outside the Yoyodyne plant. The jet car pulls up to the gate. GUARD: Okay, bring that thing right through the gate. Straight ahead. Straight ahead. Interior of the plant. DR. LIZARDO is on a high platform, haranguing the RED LECTROIDS. He is wearing his greatcoat and medals, and trying to imitate Benito Mussolini. DR. LIZARDO: BLACKS! Are on this planet! HERE! In-a New Jersey! Coming to destroy us! We must act! ESCAPE, or DIE! We must-a work _faster_, to-a finish the Great Vehicle Itself, so that we can-a enter the 8th dimension, and FREE our trapped comrades, so we can return home, and-a seize power once again! WHAT IS THE GREATEST JOY? RED LECTROIDS on the floor of the plant are sitting around, eating junk food and watching TV. They don't seem too excited. RED LECTROIDS: The joy of duty. DR. LIZARDO: LOUDER! RED LECTROIDS: The joy of duty! DR. LIZARDO: History... is-a made at night! Character... is what you are in the dark! We must WORK, while the clock, she's-a ticking! RED LECTROID: John Whorfin, destroy them! DR. LIZARDO: We hide, they seek! RED LECTROID: Death to the Black Lectroids! DR. LIZARDO: WHERE ARE WE GOING? The RED LECTROIDS are a little more animated now. RED LECTROIDS: Planet Ten! DR. LIZARDO: WHEN? RED LECTROIDS: Real Soon!
According to the commentary on the DVD, I believe it was Tim Burton said that even though this never happened, he wanted to show a dialogue between one of the best film directors of the time Orson Wells and the worst film Director of the time Ed Wood. I think this is a nice little moment.
10 years ago before that movie was made. It's when King Tut was excavated. After the team have excavate King Tut, many horrible things have happened like one caught a stroke, another got in a car accident and one likely gone mad do with superstitious beliefs and commit suicide by jumping out of a window. Many believe it's all cause by a curse done by King Tut with a help of his gods. And likely those events cause an inspiration to create this movie.
Killed in 1944 in a staffing attack. Just as well. The Russians would have executed him. He was a major planner of the invasion of Russia. Operation Barbarossa.
Kriegsspiel was wargaming developed by the Prussian Army in the 19th century to teach battlefield tactics to officers. Gave them a huge advantage so not always a bad idea ... unless you turn it into just an ego boost.
Gorgeous movie with some hot buttered popcorn beautiful movie thank you you too you bring buy everything free and everybody is Netflix is trying to get on the board and so oh no you got to pay for this you got to pay for that you can go to your neighborhood library sorry Netflix You're not Dead trying to capitalize on some guesses free
Trying to conduct a naval landing during bad weather really is a plan only a German general could come up with, especially considering their "plans" for sealion. And would have broken any invasion fleet.
Never seen the movie but I wasnt aware that D'Onofrio played Welles on screen here while Maurice LaMarche waa uncredited as the voice. Really nice synergy here to give us a solid portrayal.
Either way the war was lost by then. It would have only prolonged the war by a few months as the Russians were marching fast towards Germany. Nevertheless he was 100% right.
Apgreed, the war was lost at this point. However, the invasion was about the outcome of the peace, not the war. If the allies didn't invade and open the second front, and Stalin did the majority of the fighting, he may have not kept to the land division agreed upon at Yalta
The old Ripley's Believe It or Not! comic once had a panel claiming that, by what is presumably at least somewhat mythohistory, the first Norman warrior to land foot on English soil was called Taillefer- Iron Cutter. Then noting the commander of the Allied invasion was Eisenhower- Iron Cutter. Hower being "hewer" literally. Update- the wiki on Taillefer mentions the Ripley use of the story. Apparently Taillefer was a jongleur, a duke's minstrel, who played a role comparable to that of Piper Bill Millen on D Day- as entertainer as well as fighting man.
Pretty simplistic. Completely disregards the Hollywood inflatable camouflage campaign and the work of MI5 double agent, code named Garbo, who was instrumental in convincing that little Charlie Chaplin cosplayer the invasion would be at Pas de Calais.
To the very last moment the movie is telling you that there is a way out. They don't have to blow up the world, and at the very last moment they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Eisenhower out-generaled them all. All those snotty Prussian geniuses. Frederick Morgan came with with the idea of landing in Normandy. Eisenhower and Montgomery made it a five beach invasion and planned the hell out of it.
I don't remember where it is from, but i remember a story about how, after the attack on Pearl Harbor and Germany's decleration of war against the US, some German general remarked that German Generals are superior to any American General. Then one of his colleges said: "Remember, Eisenhower is a German name!"
