ooooo....love me some WW2 movies.  Especially those covering events (like Dunkirk) which may not be familiar to people in the US.  Dunkirk is a fascinating history lesson.

 

Trailer looks good...most certainly will be on my list to watch next year. :)

I do hope he remembers that there were no American troops in this, saving the day...

Heey, wasn't the America that won the WW2 and saved the world? 

Why don't you two create a thread where you can make your remarks about America and not hijack this thread.

It's quite relevant. Hollywood have a long history of screwing up historical events and adding in stuff that never happened, often involving bringing in US troops to save the day even when there were none anywhere near the events in reality.  For once, it would be nice to see an accurate portrayal of events. England, in her darkest hour, losing the battle and barely escaping by the skin of her teeth.

Then contact the producers/director.  And if that's what you meant, then say that.

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
    • I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
