But a hero. There was an great movie by Peter Jackson, They Shall Not Grow Old. .
Peter Jackson directed and produced the 2018 documentary They Shall Not Grow Old, a groundbreaking film commemorating the WWI centenary using restored, colorized, and 3D-enhanced archival footage from the Imperial War Museum. The film, which highlights the humanity of British soldiers, uses audio from veterans' interviews, purposely omitting narrator commentary.

Key Aspects of "They Shall Not Grow Old"
- Restoration Process: Jackson worked with over 100 hours of original film footage and 600 hours of audio interviews from the BBC and IWM archives to create a 99-minute film (with an extended 129-minute cut).
- Technology Used:The footage was colorized, restored, and converted to 3D to bring a sense of realism and immediacy, removing the "jerky" motion typical of early film
.
- Focus on Humanity: The film emphasizes the everyday lives, humor, and suffering of the soldiers in the trenches rather than specific strategic battles.
- Personal Connection: Jackson dedicated the film to his grandfather, who served in the British army.
- Release & Reception: Premiered at the 2018 London Film Festival, the film received critical acclaim for its technical achievement and emotional impact

Just the articleI see that Mike had a piece on 247S, but not seeing where Francis announced on social media, etc. Also not seeing a tweet from Mike about it. Am I missing something? Oh, and awesome news!

My former daughter-in-law’s father worked for the FBI, and they had to go into witness protection because he had been after the Yakuza and then they went after him. Turns out, he was a real douche. No wonder they were so angry!Glad that stuff with the Yakuza finally blew over.
I still think we were the only team that could have beaten LVille in that tournament.If not for Spike Albrecht and the bad officiating on Saturday night, Louisville may not have won that title.
Committed
bastidFYI, Mike took his article down. That doesn't mean Folefac hasn't committed, or won't commit, but it's just not official yet.
