@selah-chelyah Yeah, me too. How about The Darkest Hour? Have you watched The Darkest Hour?
@leon-fleming
Nope. What’s it about?

@selah-chelyah The Darkest Hour (actually called just Darkest Hour) is a historical movie based on Winston Churchill and his role in WWII. It’s not a documentary at all. Have you watched The King’s Speech? It’s like that.
If you haven’t watched The King’s Speech, then Darkest Hour shows the stress that Winston Churchill was under as he took his position as Prime Minister of Britain. It’s really interesting, and the music is great.
@leon-fleming
That sounds really cool! I’ll have to watch it one of these days. I love WWII history. 🙂 Have you read The Longest Day, by Cornelius Ryan?

@selah-chelyah Yeah, it is. The guy acting as Mr Churchill doth play a splendid role at it.
Nay, I have not. What is its premise?
@leon-fleming
Ah, he waxeth professor-like, does he? Rather suits him well, it does…
It’s about the Normandy, D-Day invasion of France by the allies. And it’s really, really well done! One of my fav books. (Plus I have the 50th anniversary edition, which has a bunch of copies of original beach landing maps + drawings from generals and such, as well as actual interviews of top generals and such that were there and/or orchestrated the whole thing.) Really awesome. 🙂

@selah-chelyah Well, gee! Many thanks do I lay upon thy knowledgable self.
That sounds really interesting!
@leon-fleming
Look at that. You hit 200 and you’re still a Loyal Sidekick. XD
And you totally betrayed your professor-self with that ‘gee’, I’m afraid!

@selah-chelyah Oh, darn. I saw that too. I guess it’ll hit the next rank at 300.
Hey, you know me! I gotta mix things up; have you ever imagined one of those old Oxford professors saying, “Well, gee, Debby, I don’t know everything!” XD
@leon-fleming
Mm, maybe. I think it’ll be something less perfect. We hit L.S. at 99, so we’ll see… XD Yeah, not really, but maybe. XD
Prendre garde ~ I bleed ink
@selah-chelyah Yeah, probably. XD
@selah-chelyah I wonder what the highest ranking is. The Chosen One? Or the Old Sage?
