OPERATION MINCEMEAT OPERATION MINCEMEAT 3 SPUDS on NETFLIX WIKI BLURB: In the context of WW2 narratives, the story of Operation Mincemeat is unique a bizarre and seductive cinematic blend of high-level espio- nage and ingenious fiction, where the stakes could hardly be higher. Michelle Ashford’s script fuses multiple strands and moods: Two British intelli- gence officers hatch an outlandish scheme to trick the Nazis and alter the course of World War II. Based on a true story of deception. Starring: Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald. MY BLURB: If you're any sort of fan of the intelli- gence side of things, then this movie should appeal to you. It tells a great story of just how smart some Brits are when it comes to deception and trying things that a lot of people might thumb their noses at. As a movie, this one operates on a few different levels, there's a pseudo romantic story, a male rivalry story, and a powerful team story. All of which creates a ton of nuance here that keeps the movie from being one dimensional. You don’t have to praise these actors at all here because this is England, and that everybody is great is a given. Since this is a story about espionage, there's not a lot of violence in it, because the job everybody had was for their mission to succeed with minimum of violence, bloodshed and death. The beauty of the film is that the deception in it is so outlandish that you are sucked into just to see if they can actually pull it off. OUCH POTATO CHRONICLES RATING SYSTEM NO SPUD 4U -- SUCKS 1 SPUD -- NOTHING SPECIAL 2 SPUDS -- WORTH WATCHING 3 SPUDS -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Copyright 2022, MurMarketing, Jim Murray Prop

A Sure Sign Of Spring

Jim Murray · Went outside this morning to do my walking and noticed that this was on my mailbox. These birds must have worked all night on this. Hope they got paid overtime. We think they're Robins. I carefully moved the nest to another location.

This isn’t a typical post for me… There are way more words than normal. It does show you the inside mind of an introvert – how I process things and come to the conclusions I do. This isn’t intended as a ‘how to’ post, but more of an op/ed piece as I ponder this exciting new platf ...

In Memory of My Friend: He Left Nothing.

This isn’t a eulogy or a fond farewell. To me, it’s a type of Christmas Carol, without the usual ghosts, since my friend didn’t believe in ghosts. If they ever appeared, I’m sure he would have gone to his computer, wondering if he’d ordered Apparitions Past, Present and Future. · ...
