Notes on Monday from the Sprague reading. Possible reading quiz then as well. We will finish CM on Monday.

Okay. I haven't seen Cinderella Man, looking forward to it.
I only have two rounds today and I already completed the first one. Afina and I were 2-2 in debate :(
Weather is really nice outside! (Even in the armpit of America aka Monmouth, OR).

Are we watching any films when we get to Vietnam? Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket are all good ones.
And for WW2 The Thin Red Line is the best war movie ever in my opinion, but I know we are watching Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers (both stellar as well).

BAND OF BROTHERS!!!!!!! YAAAAAAY!!!!

Joseph,
Great suggestions, however, I probably won't have a lot of time to show any more full length movies like CM. I have some really great documentaries lined up for Vietnam that I think you will enjoy greatly. I will show them on the big screen.
I only show the first 20 mins of SPR and I show and entire episode of BoB about D-Day. Didn't Caro show The Thin Red Line last year? It's one of my favorites as well. I really love the soundtrack for that film.

I didn't have Caro so I don't know if he showed it or not.
By the way you should definitely see Raging Bull if you get a chance. It takes the boxing intensity & character study to a level Cinderella Man can't even dream of. And has one of the best acting performances (robert de niro) ever.

Yeah, it's on my list to see. I know about De Niro's massive weight gain for the role.
