Which movie always gets you?

I am flying back to Miami and watched the Warrior, and the flick always puts a lump in my throat. Badass flick if you've never seen it.

Which movies always get you?

Courageous

Outstanding display
of honor
of family
of faith

It's what defines men as real men
Not the size of their bank account
or size of their Johnson
or how many notches on their bedpost
or the mountains they've climbed

It's about how they handle themselves
under the worse life can throw at a man

Jurassic Park... I always get weepy at the first T. Rex attack.

I'm a huge dinosaur nut, and having read the novel, I knew the movie had to be seen. They had kept the dinosaurs pretty hidden in the marketing, giving out just enough to let people know this movie was going to be really cool.

But that T. Rex attack is something I just wasn't prepared for. The greatest dream of any dinosaur nut is to see one alive, walking around, and I'll be damned if Spielberg, Dennis Muren/Phil Tippet/ILM and Stan Winston's people didn't deliver one to the screen. I wept, and she is still the most beautiful thing without tits or tires that I've ever seen.

For me, the image of that Rex, breaking through the wire and walking between those two Ford Explorers, ranks right up there with Slim Pickens riding a Nuke, Dorothy stepping out into Munchkinland, Darth Vader reaching out to his son, and a snowglobe breaking at the bottom of the stairs.

Gets me every time.

Yep. There are a couple of scenes in that movie that really got to me. When the Nazi and the Yank fight over the knife in the room while the other Yank bleeds out...really bothered me. When Hanks' character dies..."Earn it." Damn good movie.

When they order the musician's to the rear before the attack is powerful. Musician's were often children age 14 and under. You can clearly see they were ready to march ahead of the front rank and assault the fort.

You should go out to the battlefield next weekend and see a bit of it in person. It's the 150th anniversary.

This will be the FIRST TIME since 1864 that cannon have been fired in the Park!

They are expecting near 60,000 people for the weekend - please contact us if you can come... (schedule of events below)

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park Chief Ranger Anthony Winegar, Superintendent Nancy Walther and Park Historian Willie Johnson descend the stairway of the Illinois Monument, where Southern forces helped fend off the Illinois 49th Infantry during the Civil War Battle on the mountain. <br> Staff/Abigail Quigley

MARIETTA — Stories of men who sacrificed their lives on either side of the Civil War, as well as tales depicting the daily struggles of local women and children during the era, will be shared for three days at Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park.

More than 200 free activities are scheduled for the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, including artillery demonstrations, Confederate and Union solider encampments, live music and programs by noted authors.

The schedule includes George Wunderlich, executive director of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, Md., who will give multiple talks about the medicine administered on the battlefield and how those practices are the foundation of health today.

There will also be a Civil War fashion show led by park volunteers and historic clothing experts Janine and Phillip Whiteman. They will show clothing people in different social levels would have worn in the 1860s.

Anthony Winegar, chief ranger at the park, said the many activities — including hands-on demonstrations of wood crafting, cloth dyeing and building a Civil War-era home — will give an accurate representation of the people’s lives from soldiers to slaves to children.

Winegar said the park staff is focused on conveying individual stories “because that is what most people will ultimately connect with.”

There will be many musical performances from a regiment band portraying the Georgia Volunteer Infantry, a string band, bluegrass performers, youth choirs and many more acts giving renditions of Civil War-era music.

For the past year, all the Civil War events throughout other national parks have contributed to a theme of “From Civil War to Civil Rights,” including spiritual ensembles that will be sung at the closing ceremony at Kennesaw Mountain on June 29.

“Music sort of transcends all ages, races and genders,” Winegar said about attracting a wide range of guests, many of whom may not be war history buffs. “Between the singing, the cannons, the children and the campfire, you will get a 360 degree experience, seeing life 150 years ago from all around.”

Shuttling visitors

Nancy Walther, who became the superintendent at Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park more than two years ago, said she expects the commemoration in June to host 50,000 to 60,000 visitors throughout the weekend.

“We anticipate Saturday being a very, very busy day from the time we open the lots at 10 a.m. until we close,” she said.

Paved lots near the visitor’s center will be for handicap guests and an activity field south of the visitor’s center will used for parking.

There will also be several satellite parking lots set up at Marietta High School, Mount Paran Christian School and on the corner of North Cobb Parkway and Bells Ferry Road to provide a total of 4,000 spots, Walther said.

Hosting the event required funding from the National Park Service, as well as local sponsorships and donations.

Walther said $274,000 came from the National Park Service from fees charged to guests at other national parks. Those funds will be used for staging areas, tents, portable restrooms, sound systems and buses.

“Transportation is a big cost for us,” she said.

Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park is renting 10 Marietta school buses, 10 Kennesaw State University buses and three trolleys.

Walther said the national contribution did not pay for guest speakers, performers or food supplies for staff and volunteers, many of whom will comprise the 275 people staying at solider or civilian encampments in the park the entire weekend.

The weekend event will require 54 extra staff members coming from other parks in the Smoky Mountains, Chattahoochee, Chickamauga and the park system’s regional office, along with the local park’s 14 full-time and six seasonal positions.

Knowing there would be a gap in the funds needed, the Kennesaw Mountain Trail Club, a volunteer organization that maintains the trails of Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield National Park, started reaching out to local contacts a year ago.

Anne Strand, secretary of the Kennesaw Mountain Trail Club, said the group has received sponsorships from Cobb EMC, the WellStar Health System and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, to name a few.

With those sponsorships and individual donations from area residents, Strand said the group has raised close to $90,000.

“We still hope to hit the $100,000 mark,” she said.

Walther said whatever money is raised will “have to be enough,” and credits the additional efforts by the Kennesaw Mountain Trail Club to making the commemoration a “premier event.”

Starting the events June 27 will be the “Dead Angle Real Time Hike,” where hikers can walk the same path the Union troops took to approach Cheatham Hill exactly 150 years to the moment the battle began.

There are many infantry demonstrations scheduled so visitors can see and hear a company-sized unit’s marching techniques, as well as loading and firing Civil War muskets. Rangers will explain the methods of communicating to give commands across the battlefield.

Cannons will also be fired from historic locations, including a 24-gun battery. The site will give a first-hand view of the offensive and defensive roles the artillery played in the fierce fighting on Cheatham Hill.

Willie Johnson, who will retire in July after 40 years of service with the park, said there were four batteries each with six guns, or cannons weighing around 1,000 pounds each, stationed at the ridges.

“This will be the first time since 1864 cannon will have been fired from the park,” Johnson said.

Johnson said most tourist areas at Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park have focused on Confederate points of interest, but this spot is more of a tribute to Union soldiers.

“This is where they felt they really put it on the line,” Johnson said about the attack that resulted in heavy causalities against insurmountable odds. “This is where they were asked to pay the price. And they did.”

A new trail was recently added to the area, which Johnson said the park had wanted for decades.

At 8:30 p.m. June 28, honored guests, descendants of soldiers and spectators will rededicate the Illinois Monument that sits on the Cheatham Hill Battlefield.

The recently restored marble and bronze monument was first erected 100 years ago to honor the lives lost as heavy artillery rained down on Union soldiers trying to advice up Cheatham Hill. The location of the monument is as far as they were able to reach, Johnson said.

During the ceremony, 3,400 lit candles will line the grassy field in remembrance of those who died in the battles at Kennesaw Mountain.

Seven Pounds starring Will Smith. If you've never seen it, all I'll say is in the end, you realize how tormented the main character is, over his mistake. :sadangel:

Yeah, and if he's got any firearms he should unload them and hide the ammo...

Jurassic Park... I always get weepy at the first T. Rex attack.

I'm a huge dinosaur nut, and having read the novel, I knew the movie had to be seen. They had kept the dinosaurs pretty hidden in the marketing, giving out just enough to let people know this movie was going to be really cool.

But that T. Rex attack is something I just wasn't prepared for. The greatest dream of any dinosaur nut is to see one alive, walking around, and I'll be damned if Spielberg, Dennis Muren/Phil Tippet/ILM and Stan Winston's people didn't deliver one to the screen. I wept, and she is still the most beautiful thing without tits or tires that I've ever seen.

For me, the image of that Rex, breaking through the wire and walking between those two Ford Explorers, ranks right up there with Slim Pickens riding a Nuke, Dorothy stepping out into Munchkinland, Darth Vader reaching out to his son, and a snowglobe breaking at the bottom of the stairs.

Gets me every time.

I the immortal words of Michael Jackson...

You are not alone...


I thought I was the only one.
