reenactorNet

This would be the blog of one Marshall J. Wise or "Marsh" to my friends -- it's "Marshall" to the company or others who know me not. If you are friend, then 'tis Marsh. Anywho, this be just my thoughts and bloviations on life, reenacting, the world and other thoughtless provoking crap. Yes, I am a reenactor, yes, I own reenactor.Net... Remember: work to live, not live to work.

*(and yes, look up the word bloviate on google)

Hmmm, "about me" huh? It's kind of boring. I'm a truck driver hauling U.S. Mail for a Postal Contractor. Reenacting Lessee, I am into reenacting... WWI, WWII and Roman. Doing the first two, I portray a German (no, I don't care one bit if you're offended), in the last, I do a 1st Century Roman impression. I find the Roman Empire fascinating. r.Net I have owned reenactor.Net (the biggest reenactor website on the planet) since 1998 and am constantly trying to make it better (for that, I really need 37 hour days). One good thing about r.Net is it allows me to meet and know a lot of really great and nice people who's knowledge just leaves me floored. How I think... Do you really care about how I think? I'm kind of a dork... If you read the blog, you'll see how I think (or don't think, if you listen to a lot of people).

Movies...

Okay, so I am weird. I like happy endings and such. Hell, chick flicks are usually okay. Some anyway. Some are just a waste of digital space. Sex and the City the movie or whatever it is. I always thought that was a dumb show on TV and ya know what... the red head, I could SWEAR I met her one night in a strip club on Times Square. This chick, who I remember as looking JUST LIKE her, was "in acting" and wouldn't let anyone take her pix. It was at some live sex show that Ricky Jackson and Brian wanted to go see. Hmmmmm. I digress.

I like stuff like Love Actually, The Holiday, Under the Tuscan Sun... chick flicks all--oh well... that oughta give Rich some ammo :-Þ Now don't get me wrong, I DO like a good war movie, but the problem is, the Hollywood dipshits don't make good war stuff anymore. We have Tom Cruise bullshit. Or it's always got to be PC and show the evyil Nazis and such. F-that! Why not remake The Longest Day? Oh, I know, because today's crop of shithead commies wouldn't be par tof an ensemble cast.

Lord of the Rings was cool... in The Two Towers, the ride out of Helm's Deep by the Rohirrin is just too goddamned cool! I mean Theoden and his men just ride out and take on the whole frigging orc army and then as it happens, the Rohirrin led by Gandalf, ride down the mountain and just ride the damend Orcs under. So cool!!!! However, I doubt well see good war movies anymore. I know, let's make us some dumb shit stuff liek a U.S. Navy crew stealing a U-Boat to get the code machine (complete witha black sailor how PC... even though the Navy was not integrated in WWII). Let's forget that it was the POLISH who got the Enigma code machine... Or let's have Tom Cruise as Count von Stauffenberg?! Where's a good actor liek John Wayne or Sean Connery when you need him. Even the new James Bond is in some stupid partisan flick. I suppose redoing the Battle of the Bulge into something accurate, rather than the hollywierd "splendor" that it became would be out of the question. Why, it might show how the war was. How real men fought and died for their countries.

I'll stop now.
