Hello everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Just another post to say that I'm working on chapter four of my story. It's about halfway done, but it still might be a week or two. I'm a very slow writer. Heck, these posts usually take me a half-hour or so to finish. Anyway, keep on the lookout for the upcoming chapter, I guess.
In other news, since everyone has plenty of time on their hands nowadays (I wonder why?!) I figured that I would recommend a movie that I saw recently. It's a great little film called "The Man Who Killed Hitler and then The Bigfoot". Great title, huh? Despite what a title like that might suggest, it is not 1. a b-movie, 2. a cash grab film, or 3. a bad Sci-Fi channel original movie. It doesn't even focus too much on Hitler or Bigfoot. The stuff about Hitler and the Nazis only takes up about thirty minutes of the total running time, and the stuff with Bigfoot only uses up about an additional twenty-five minutes or so. The film mostly deals with a man named Calvin Barr, played by Sam Elliott, a "legendary American figure" that time forgot. In World War II he assassinated Adolph Hitler and the U.S. government covered the whole thing up. Years later the U.S. and Canadian governments ask for his help to track and kill Bigfoot, but instead of focusing on that, the movie chooses to focus on Calvin and how he deals with the demons that followed him after the war ended. It's an extremely powerful movie. I can only describe the feelings it gave me through an analogy. If any of you have seen Forest Gump I want you to remember the feelings you had when you first watched that movie. "The Man Who Killed Hitler and then The Bigfoot" evokes these same emotions from its viewers. If you can find it, watch it.
Anyway, that's all for now. On to the usual music recommendation. This time it's a very simple choice. Bob Dylan recently released a new song entitled "Murder Most Foul". It's about seventeen minutes long, but it has good reason to be that way. He had to pack over sixty years of culture into one song after all, so I'm surprised it's not longer. The main thing that links the parts of the song is the assassination of John F. Kennedy and how his death affected the cultural and political history of America. Enjoy.
