The Room (film)

    The Room (film)

    The Room is a 2003 drama film written and directed by its main actor, Tommy Wiseau, who is also credited on screen as both the movie's producer and executive producer. The principal cast includes Wiseau, Juliette Danielle, Greg Sestero, Philip Haldiman, Carolyn Minnott, and Robyn Paris. The Room tells the melodramatic story of a love triangle between a man, his fiancée, and his best friend.

    Without any studio support, Wiseau spent over US$6 million on production and marketing for the film. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and insists that its humor is actually intentional, although a cast member has anonymously disputed these claims and many audience members generally view the film as a poorly made drama.

    The Room has been cited by some critics as one of the worst films ever made, and has been called "the Citizen Kane of bad movies." After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following and continues to have midnight screenings around the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark.

NOSE ART WAR

    Iran's Attempt to Modernize Its Fighter Planes as Member of IFAPSA Alliance Fails to Win Nose-Art War.

    This ingenious piece of brilliance is courtesy Friend of STORMBRINGER Jim Wrenn of the Worthy Blog PoliSat.Com

    As a member of the IFAPSA (Islamo-Fascist and Paleo-Stalinist Alliance) desperately needing a fighter plane that would at least have a remote chance against an F-22 Raptor, Iran is modernizing its air force. However, according to Jane's, the internationally recognized authority on military-weapons, Iran's most advanced fighter doesn't even have a prayer of winning even the Nose-Art War in that category . . .




    . . . for the rest of this awesomeness click HERE



    Theo and I corresponded yesterday -


    STORMBRINGER:
    Post this wisdom Theo -


    Solution to the problem in Libya:

    They want a new Muslim leader.

    I say, give them ours.

    That solves 2 problems.



    THEO: Have finally posted. Need some analysis on Libya and middle east. Had a rant last night.


    STORMBRINGER: Yes I read it & I agree - right wrong or indifferent we're in it now; Linnane's First Principle of Warfare states: "When you find yourself involved in a war, you must commit to certain victory in as short a time as possible with every resource available; to do anything else equals criminal negligence."


    THEO: So are we going to nobble Gadaffi or spend the next decade pissing about in the middle east. You have been there and done it . What are your thoughts on how we should proceed? Can use a pseudonym if you want to let rip.


    STORMBRINGER: "Sean Linnane" IS a pseudonym . . . and I WILL let it rip . . .


    THEO: Yes I know Sean is a pseudonym but if you really want to let rip use another.


    This is too easy; sharpshooting the current Occupier of the Whitehouse - ESPECIALLY on this foreign military adventure - is the philosophical equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel . . .

    . . . then events of the day overcame - I know it's incredible to imagine but yes I have a life & a career outside of Blog STORMBRINGER - and now it's going to have to wait until the weekend . . . Friday morning at the earliest . . . BUT I will end with a nice photo of our
    new allies:

    Muhammad Ali Images

    Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. January 17, 1942) is a former American boxer and three-time World Heavyweight Champion, who is widely considered one of the greatest heavyweight championship boxers. As an amateur, he won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. After turning professional, he went on to become the first boxer to win the lineal heavyweight championship three times.

    Originally known as Cassius Clay, Ali changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam in 1964, subsequently converting to Islam in 1975. In 1967, Ali refused to be conscripted into the U.S. military, based on his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War. He was arrested and found guilty on draft evasion charges, stripped of his boxing title, and his boxing license was suspended. He was not imprisoned, but did not fight again for nearly four years while his appeal worked its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it was successful.

TESTING BULLETPROOF GLASS IN 1932 . . .

Thomas' Teepee

    Thomas turned 1 on Tuesday, so my sister Joanna, brother Joseph and I all put in to get him a Teepee from An Angel At My Table.

    We got him the navy and white striped one, which will match the decor at their house perfectly. I'm slightly concerned that it won't arrive by tomorrow though, as his party is on Sunday! I bought it from The Backyard Boutique and saved 15% with the code teepeesale11 I hope that he will use it lots as he grows up!

Pink Lipgloss & Pearls

    I have not been very well the last week, I have been sleeping far too much and incredibly drained.


    I did not realise how sick I look until I saw these photos, no wonder work told me to go home.

    I don't feel sick enough to take time from work though.


    S and I are also fasting for Lent (I was sick before we started fasting so not related) which means we cannot eat dairy, meat or drink alcohol.


    All I want is a home cooked hamburger with egg.


    I have decided to wear lipstick and/or glosses more often.


    Coco Rouge Shine #61 Bonheur, Stila C3 Majesty and Chanel lip liner #32 Pivoine


    This is the combo I wore yesterday.
    I also wore patterned stockings for the first time ever, which lead to S calling me a Gothic for some reason.


    This top has been worn twice in the past 3 weeks, and I don't like doing that.


    When S picked me up from work his exact words were "What is that terrible lipstick?!?!".

    It would appear that he hates the coloured lipstick.

    Well too bad sucker. Learn to love it.

    Top: Forever21

    Skirt: Can't remember now - Got it in Thailand

    Stockings: Voodoo

    Heels: Shu Fan

    Speaking of heels, on Friday at work last week the heel on my black Tony Biancos snapped. In half. FML.


    Note: Libby and Alana - Your prizes are coming!! I have not had a chance to get to the PO yet.

    To my other prize winners, I still have not heard back from you!!!

WAR WITHOUT END - Part III

    The War on Terror from the perspective of an Israeli soldier.


    Continued from Yesterday and the Day Before.


    From June 1967 on, the West, America and Israel, has only paid lip service to God. America fights in the name of “freedom”, which of course is a noble and true concept, but what is the source of that freedom? God. Our Creator. Israel fights for “peace”. What about the God of Peace? You’ll never hear those words from an Israeli leader.

    If America does not fight in the name of the God of Goodness, of the God of Freedom, then the Jihadists will fight in the name of the God of Jihad. They will declare Jihad on you until you fall back in confusion and horror.




    Fogel Family stabbed to death by Arab Terrorists in Itamar 11 March 2011


    They will kill your women, your children, your men, soldiers and civilians, even your babies. It makes no difference to them.


    You will be shocked by the scope of it and ask yourselves how and why. In the morning you will ask when is evening coming already, and in the evening you will yearn for the morning out of fear. (Leviticus) But they will keep doing it until we understand that we are the good in the world.

    Patton understood that in World War II. That’s why we won and Nazism is dead.



    General George S. Patton - Soldier / Spiritualist - the greatest American general since Stonewall Jackson.


    But Nazism was spiritually weak. It fought not in the name of God, but in the name of Hitler. Once broken militarily, it fell easily. Not so Jihadism. Break it militarily, and it will keep going after you until you wake up spiritually. The Jihadists are weak militarily, but spiritually they are very, very tough.

    To be clear, I am not saying that America has to militarily conquer the world in the name of God. I am saying that America, when she democratically chooses to act with force, should not do it in the name of Freedom, but in the name of the God of Freedom. I am also not saying the Israel has to destroy the Dome of the Rock in the name of the God of Israel. That would be insane. I believe in the God of Freedom, and anyone should be able to worship wherever they want, even if it’s on my Temple Mount. What I do believe, though, is that Jews and Christians should also be able to worship on the Temple Mount freely, which currently they cannot.




    Anyway, what is happening in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Libya at this very moment is a war in a spiritual trap first set at the Temple Mount in 1967. America is fighting in a battlefield it does not comprehend, at least not yet. She cannot win with her current thinking. Neither can Israel.


    The enemy is fighting in the name of God, and we, America and Israel, are not. This is a problem.


    I love America. I was born there. I lived there for 24 years. It is the best country that has ever existed, and I thank her for everything she has done for me and for the Jewish People, who as everyone knows sometimes get very evil hosts.

    But unfortunately, America is lacking spiritual inspiration. And whether Israel likes it or not, in the end we will have to be that inspiration. When the Jews return to the Temple Mount in the name of God Who is the source of all Freedom, the West will wake up. Yes, even Europe will wake up and save itself. The God of Freedom will win, terror will end, and America will take her place at the head of the world forever.

    As we say in Hebrew, “Be’Ezrat Hashem” - בעזרת השם - With God’s help.

    May God bless America and all the Armed Forces.


    The author is a former Israeli soldier. Born and raised in America for 24 years, he moved to Israel in 2007. Here he shares his view of the War on Terror from the perspective of a religious Israeli soldier.


    LISSEN UP Y'ALL DEPT.

    For what it's worth, I personally share the beliefs expressed here. During the course of my military adventures I had the blessed good fortune to visit Jerusalem, twice; to walk in the footsteps of warriors, kings, prophets and the Messiah. When I went up to the Temple Mount, I made my prayers - in secret - on behalf of all True Believers; for it is my personal belief that there is no difference - spiritually - between the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims. That is to say that we all have one God, we are all People of the Book, and as a Christian it is my belief that ultimately the Messiah will reveal himself to all of us - the staggered timetable is for a reason, apparently, and that reason will also be ultimately revealed . . . not for me to quiz the bus schedule . . . . . . . . . . . . . S.L.


    Now check it out Y'all: the writer of this series is currently the marketing manager of
    Zoara a high end online jewelry store. STORMBRINGER is not a commercial operation - "My business is Chaos, and business is good." I only get paid for my writing when you click on the ads and what few shekels I make out of this go to the ammunition fund. But I endorse my friend's businesses and Zoara offers a 15% discount to all US military personnel with a valid military ID, code USMILDISC.

    Go to the Zoara site, shop for some bling for your squeeze, and support the cause of Freedom on the Front Lines of Civilization.

GLOCK ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE

    Everybody knows Glocks never go off on their own, right? RIGHT???


    From the worthy blog Imminent Threats Tactical


    “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?”


    It took me a half a second to realize that my gun had just gone off . . . on my hip . . . in its holster.


    Why it went off was immediately apparent.


















    One things for sure- this would never happen with an M1911.

    Good safety info for all the Glocksters & "safe action" types out there.

    Don't get me wrong- the Glock is a great weapon for general purpose standard issue, especially if your force has disparate levels of training. I've carried one, in fact I actually OWN one, and I'd swear by it, but my personal preference is the 1911.

WAR WITHOUT END - Part II

    the War on Terror from the perspective of an Israeli soldier.

    Continued from Yesterday.

    When Israel, representing the Jewish People, came back to the Temple Mount in June 1967, the Western World was electrified, the Islamic world dumbfounded, terrified, and confused. The Israelites returned to their ancestral homeland. Something monumental was happening. Western Reporters during the Six Day War could barely contain their emotions. Everyone was waiting for some kind of universal message to come flowing out of the Temple Mount like Isaiah or something.




    This is the scene where 1,900 years earlier in the year 70, a crazed war-hardened suicidally determined Jewish People almost beat the entire Roman army defending the Second Temple. The Greeks at Thermopylae were a close second. Josephus speaks about how Titus had to bring in Legions all the way from England to finally crush the Jews, who even then kept on fighting after the Temple was destroyed.

    And then, 1,900 years later in 1967, we got it back against our will. We didn’t even want it. Levi Eshkol, at the time the Israeli Prime Minister, was literally begging King Hussein of Jordan to stay out. He didn’t of course. So Israel had to take back Judea and Samaria, today sadly referred to as the “West Bank” to hide Jewish association with it. And then we came back to the Mount.

    And everyone looked at us. What are they going to do? Their ancestors fought like rabid dogs there, they had a Temple, twice, that still is the very beating heart of what would later become Western civilization. “Do something!” the Western world screamed. They ached for some kind of Messianic message.




    Of course, we had no idea what to tell them. Jews can’t stand all this responsibility. We don’t want to speak in the name of God. It makes us nauseous. We’re a stiff-necked people. The Temple Mount was too much for us, so we just gave it right back and did nothing. Now we think some wall that Herod, that evil king built, is holy. The Wailing Wall, we call it. Ha. What fools we are. Now the world sees us as occupiers in the “West Bank,” a land that isn’t ours. We showed everyone we didn’t want it, so why are we complaining?

    When we left that Mount, the War on Terror began, in June 1967. Not September 2001. Why? Because the inspiration, the possibility for terrorism, began when they saw that the spiritual center and founder of Western civilization – the Jewish People – lacked spiritual direction, which we refused to provide the world when we had the opportunity. We were too scared to speak in the name of God. That’s when the other side realized the West is spiritually weak. That yes, maybe the West can destroy you militarily, but in the end, they’ll just retreat in confusion about why they fought you in the first place.

    How do we turn this around?


    To be continued . . .

THEY'D MURDER ME IF THEY EVER FOUND OUT . . .

    The Incredible Story of Lt. Col. William M. Hoge and the Army's First Obstacle Course

    Written by Dwight Jon Zimmerman for the Defense Media Network


    Officers train on an obstacle course at Camp Edwards, Mass., around 1942. Hoge's invention of the American version of the obstacle course solved the problem of limited space and prompted countless groans and curses from generations of warfighters. Library of Congress photo


    When World War II started in Europe in September 1939, the United States was the 17th largest military power. Its army, containing just 190,000 troops, was effectively a constabulary force. By February 1941, all that had changed. Thanks to the recently passed conscription law, the number of recruits had ballooned almost ten-fold, with millions more to come.

    Before they could be shipped out to the new and expanding training centers being prepared for them, they had to be shaped up. While all base and camp commanders had that problem, it was particularly acute for Lt. Col. William M. Hoge.

    Hoge’s most vexing problem was how to provide proper military outdoor physical exercise training. Because he was located on a peninsula, he couldn’t expand. Space was at a premium.

    . . . one of his subordinates, Paul W. Thompson, had spent a year in Germany as an attaché. Calling Thompson into his office, Hoge asked him, “What in the hell do the Germans do to get exercise for their men? They have much less area than we have.” Thompson told him about specially designed fields filled with a variety of trenches and constructions that the men had to overcome through climbing, crawling, swinging, hopping, and jumping.

    Hoge brought in the officer responsible for physical training and the three drew up a blueprint for the Army’s first obstacle course.

EARTH HOUR LIGHTS OUT FAILS . . .

WAR WITHOUT END - Part I

    The War on Terror from the perspective of an Israeli soldier.


    I’d like to thank STORMBRINGER for giving me the opportunity write down my thoughts. I was never a combat soldier, so I’m not writing from a combat perspective, but rather from a philosophical one.

    The battlefield that America and Israel are on is a very dangerous one. The war we are fighting is identical. It might be surprising, but neither America nor Israel understands the enemy against which they are fighting. There is one reason for this. Both America and Israel do not know what they should be fighting for.

    Western civilization as we know it was founded by two nations: America and Israel. America is the muscle behind the West. It is the best country that has ever existed on Earth. Israel is the brain of the West. Not the State of Israel, as it is quite new in its third version, but rather the People of Israel, which goes back three millennia. We gave the world the Bible, the Judeo-Christian values of ethical monotheism, hard work, and faith, which are what inspired the Founding Fathers to establish the great force of freedom that is America.

    Whatever happens to America and Israel will determine what happens to the West. To calm you down, I have no doubt whatsoever that we will win in the end. What I fear is how much we will both have to lose before we do.

    Whether the Jews or the State of Israel likes it or not, the world watches us for spiritual direction. The People of Israel don’t really like this fact, we don’t want the attention, and we don’t even acknowledge it as a People. When Israel conquered the Temple Mount in 1967 after destroying the entire Egyptian Air Force in minutes, conquered the entire Sinai Peninsula in a day, and then took Judea, Samaria, and the Golan, the war ended on the Temple Mount.


    Israeli soldiers at the recapture of the Temple Mount in 1967.


    A few days later, when the Jews left that Mount, the entire idea of terrorism and the war against the West was born. How is that?

NEW SPONSOR



    Jim from Pro Art Shirts contacted me regarding an image I'd used about a year ago on a post about le Legion Etranger. He has graciously allowed me to use it, and I updated the post to acknowledge his artwork.

    The t-shirt designs available at Pro Art Shirts are fantastic - bold, basic military insignia. They are well-balanced, pleasing to the eye and representative of that which readers of STORMBRINGER respect and hold dear: our proud family of freedom-fighting military organizations, the warrior ethos incarnate. After exchanging notes with Jim, he sent me a collection of images representing the units I was assigned to:














    I mentioned that I also served with the Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment (DERR) and the 7th Gurkha Rifles, and that I was present on the battlefield with the French Foreign Legion in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) although I do not know which regiment - we were busy working and there wasn't time to get acquainted. Jim said that he'd be happy to design something for those organizations so I'm looking around for some good high res references - he's been after a good reference for the Gurkha cap badge for a long time, still no luck with that. In a future post I'll tell you all about the DERR and what makes them special, even within the Great British Army.
