    At the end of WWII when the Allies discovered the death camps, Eisenhower INSISTED the Signal Corps make DETAILED photo, film, & written records of it all. When asked why he was so set on archiving all the atrocity, Ike simply said that one day there would be those who would claim it never happened.

    82/He introduced himself as George Stevens & he was in charge of the Signal Corps unit which is taking the official Army pictures of Dachau. He wanted to film another service for the historical record. I don't know if my grandfather knew at the time, but Stevens was a big deal.

    Last four watched… -‘Breaking In’ (1989) -‘Greenland 2: Migration’ (2026) -‘The Long Grey Line’ (1955) -‘The Signal’ (2014) I had unreasonably low expectations for ‘The Long Grey Line’ (bio pics 😴), but that film, as well as ‘Breaking In’ were both very good. I recommend both. 👍

I’m screening “Aliens”, “The Terminator”, “The Signal”, “Attack The Block”, etc. You gotta make “Brick” just to make “Looper” for $30 million to get $300 million to make “The Last Jedi”

    Yeah! Elsewhere in the thread I mentioned The Signal Engineers, which is mostly a very bright and colourful film, but the final segment showing nighttime track maintenance is shot (I'm sure for practical reasons) in noir-y B&W, and the contrast with the earlier scenes makes it all the more effective

    Some lesser known thriller gems. The Signal (2007) - 3 dif directors helm each act of the movie creating tonal shifts. Also the lead actor is who I picture when I picture you. Surveillance (2008) - starring Bill Pullman, directed by Jennifer Lynch and produced by her father David Lynch.

    An amazing artist. He taught himself stop motion techniques after watching King Kong. Later after joining the Signal Corps he "acquired" some surplus film reels which he used to continue learning. Films would often wrap and then spend another year in post-production just to wait on his work.
