#boys in World War II

These kids appointed themselves neighborhood guardians for the duration of the war. Here, on September 19, 1942, the sergeant-at-arms, Charles Au, admitted two new members, Arthur Werner and Leonard Buchanan. Their headquarters was in a shack, replete with street maps, shovels, rakes, sand buckets, and other equipment.

*Anakin and Ahsoka arguing*

Captain Rex, to Obi-Wan: Should we leave?

Obi-Wan: No, no. I want to see Ahsoka make Anakin cry.

no but ryo paul debut is actually making me care about paul as a character for the first time because holy fuck if a white darry & japanese american paul dynamic is not supremely compelling in terms of 1960s oklahoma race and class tensions

Movie Releases for July 9, 2024

[dragotale78]

Howdy folks, I’m currently working on a video on Godzilla and wanted to understand as much of the historical context surrounding the original film (and as much as I can get for each of the subsequent films). So i wanted to jump on here and ask if anyone has good history books that talk about japan before, during and after the war. Also if you have any good japanese history books in general (obviously preferably in english as i don’t speak japanese and would rather defenstrate myself then google translate a history book). Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Flashback: London, England, 1941 during World War II

The young boy races across the floor of what seems to be a private library. The boy peers around a doorway and sees a couple walking down the hallway, whispering and laughing. The couple is Nicholas and Janette. The boy sees Janette's sparkling gold purse and can't keep his eyes off of it.

Once seen and never forgotten, "The Dover Boys at Pimento University or the Rivals of Roquefort Hall" to use the full title, is a non-stop assault on the viewer's funny bone. It takes an axe to the "Americana" films of the Second World War era that took refuge in a sentimentally remembered 1890s, but it also plunges wholeheartedly into the bizarre, a factor that keeps later generations enjoying "The Dover Boys" and hailing it as Chuck Jones' first masterpiece [...] The characters strike unnatural poses and move in idiosyncratic ways, Dora gliding along as she were on wheels under her dress, Dan Backslide leaping from pose-to-pose and an inebriated sailor strolling in an eccentric gait, never to be seen again [...] No longer was Jones to odd, humorless person out at Termite Terrace. He had become a force to be reckoned with.

During World War II, even dogs pitched in. Nearly 400,000 Boys Club of America members throughout the nation participated in a victory program to train themselves for the part they might have had to play in the war and in defense industries. Many of the clubs also adopted dogs and carrier pigeons. In this photo, Richard Barnes of the Madison Square Boys Club teaches his dog Hercules to hold a stick in his mouth after finding a “wounded soldier,” April 1, 1942.

Obi-Wan: How could you possibly get into this much trouble in one day?

Ahsoka and Anakin: It didn’t take us the whole day.

Review: The Boy And The Heron

Hayao Miyazaki is one of those artists that needs no introduction, a brilliant storyteller whose characters and richly-developed stories include tales of flying pigs and walking castles, forest gods and floating cities, preschooler mermaids and fantastical bathhouses. So even when nobody really knew what the plot was, “The Boy And The Heron” was already an alluring prospect. And while perhaps…
