@SkipTindle @duygarena9 He flew combat missions completely voluntarily.

@duygarena9 Worked his way up LOL I bet he did!

In 1942, Clark Gable's wife, Carole Lombard, passed away in an airplane crash. He was emotionally and physically devastated, and decided to join the Army Air Force. Although he was beyond the draft age at the time the U.S. entered World War II, he enlisted as a private in the Army Air Force on Aug. 12, 1942, at Los Angeles. He attended the Officers' Candidate School at Miami Beach, Florida, and graduated as a second lieutenant on Oct. 28. He then attended aerial gunnery school and in February 1943, on personal orders from Gen. Hap Arnold, went to England to make a motion picture about aerial gunners in action. He was assigned to the 351st Bomb Group at Polebrook, and although neither ordered nor expected to do so, flew operational missions over Europe in B-17s to obtain the combat film footage he believed was required for producing the movie, titled "Combat America." Gable returned to the U.S. in October 1943 and was relieved from active duty as a major on June 12, 1944, at his own request, since he was over-age for combat. Because his motion picture production schedule made it impossible for him to fulfill his AAF Reserve officer duties, he resigned his commission on Sept. 26, 1947. Two years after the death of his wife, Clark joined Irene Dunne to launch the USS Carole Lombard, in honor of Carole and her dedication to her country. After leaving the military, Gable jumped back into acting and retained his star status. #oldhollywood #clarkgable #carolelombard

@MisterHatz23 @duygarena9 OCS Plus, you know.... a giant active war.

@duygarena9 Wow. Private to Major in 4 years. Shit has always beeb rigged.

@Redleg_6 @allgau2021 @duygarena9 Probably more than John Wayne's.

@allgau2021 @duygarena9 Hmmmmm .... interested to hear YOUR record of military service .... or any act of selfless service.

@DillonCrowe3 @allgau2021 @duygarena9 He decided against it because he was a goldbricker.

@allgau2021 @duygarena9 No, that's actually a myth. John Wayne did try to join, I think in 1943, but he had a contract with the film studio, and they threatened to sue him for everything he had if he joined the Military. He had little to gain and everything to lose, so of course he decided against it.

@jimangiesmokie1 @allgau2021 @duygarena9 No, he purposely pulled strings (and faked the severity of his injuries) to avoid ANY deployment. He chose to stay in the US so he could continue seeing his underaged "mistress".

@allgau2021 @duygarena9 Wayne was deferred because he was above draft age, had a family plus his knee was damaged from football injuries at USC and even he HAD gone into combat duty the Army feared he could be captured and used for enemy propaganda purposes

@_Nick_The_Name_ @duygarena9 OCS.

@duygarena9 He became an officer in 1,5 months? What?

@fakehistoryhunt @WholesomeMeme Smoke and animal feces, probably. Depending on exactly where you are, that is. You'd probably get quite a bit of BO and bad breath from people, but not like... funky piss/shit/unwashed.

@WholesomeMeme If the smell is historically accurate you'll mostly just smell smoke as the smell of open fires everywhere pretty much overpowers most other smells. Medieval people washed daily, bathed weekly or more, used soap, did laundry & were literally terrified of bad smells.

@MarioOfMeriden @roylucier ?

@roylucier The entire wrestling community should be fuck this guy, and not give any thought and attention which he wants . Can’t get clicks if you get no acknowledgement

The entire Lucha Libre community this morning

@seanistakenn @baileylikemovie I just kind of falls flat.

@baileylikemovie Don’t understand why people don’t love it as much as the others

Speed Racer-style critical reappraisal of Tenet as a masterpiece within the next decade, calling it now

@fedjones999_ @mikeVSphilly @BigDookiana @CDL92 You kinda are, bud.

@mikeVSphilly @BigDookiana @CDL92 Are you saying I’m being an asshole right now?

This kinda makes me think how a lot of the AEW sickos are similar to the ROHbots where you’re actually hurting the company’s progress by being dickheads all the goddamn time.

@ham_and_eggers Both promotions miss the mark by being far too ready to ditch kayfabe or do long backstage segments/gimmick matches.

If you’re pro or anti-WWE/AEW, this app labels you as a mark/tribalist. Some people like different things than you. Saying negative things doesn’t make you a tribalist. Trolling does but voicing your pleasure/displeasure is fair game & if you can’t handle it, that’s a you problem

@TheGayChingy God, you're fuckin illiterate

Christopher Nolan confirms that despite directing THE ODYSSEY, he has never read Homer’s epic and that only one member of the production had: John Leguizamo, who was a classics major at Brown. “He read it in Greek. Between the cast & us, John is the only one who actually read it”

@Papkin_n @peardrink Because if the Snow White movie goes into the public domain, Disney can still claim copyright on the exact likeness by saying it's new to the LA movie. Although, they didn't need to spend 300m on it to do so.

@peardrink I still don't get what the vision was for this remake. It looks awful, missed the point of the story, makes a poor attempt at being modern but Snow White's dress and hair? No no those two things in specific have to be a 1:1 recreation of the cartoon design fuck you

HOW DID THIS MOVIE HAVE A 300M$ BUDGET IM SCREAMING THE LIGHTNING

@rachelshoneybee @peardrink She got a payday, so I'm happy for her for that.

@peardrink I’ll never get over how dirty Disney did Rachel. She sings soprano, they dont use it properly. She looks good with the hair, they flatten it down & give her a shitty costume. The director & costume designer were uninspired idiots and now she will have to pay for it forever.

@Popejupiter @BretDevereaux I think you may be lost, friend.

@BretDevereaux "Saving Private Ryan was praised for its gory opening, so if I put a bunch of blood and gore in MY beach landing scene, that's the same thing". I'm...not sure the director could've missed the point of the beach landing scene more if they tried.

There is something very funny about the sudden effort by the chuds to recast Troy (2004) - a film which lost out at the box office to Ben Stiller vehicle, Meet the Fockers (2004) - as a cinematic masterpiece the likes of which Christopher Nolan could never match.

@AlanGalaxy @BDisgusting Probably because you're a literal child

@BDisgusting Will he take us away from Jeffrey Combs though? He is Herbert West to so many of us.

First look at Joseph Morgan as Herbert West in upcoming Lovecraft movie HERBERT WEST: REANIMATOR. As a child, Herbert West watches his father reanimate his dead mother in a secret lab. 30 years later, West is a brilliant, secretive surgeon still chasing his father’s obsession.

@slaterson101 @BDisgusting Learn to read you fuckin loser

@BDisgusting nothing is sacred anymore man, now they are remaking the more obscure cult classics because they beat the mainstream stuff to death

@KingChandler219 @BDisgusting Almost like it was based on a book and ALSO took many liberties with it.

@BDisgusting Gritty reboot of a classic? One of my favorites at that. I’m in.

@THfantaC @mcshoggoth @BDisgusting The story he wrote as a comedy and talked about it being a comedy abd was clearly written to be humerous. Yes, that one.

@mcshoggoth @BDisgusting Yeah man Lovecraft, the famous comedy writer

@GERSHNMBR1FAN @BDisgusting Neither did Jeffrey Combs

@BDisgusting he doesn’t look anything like the lovecraft original description of herbert west. if that’s what they’re really basing this remake off of (like they say they are), they’re already setting the bar pretty low
