Quote of the Day for Veteran's Day from Jimmy Stewart

Today, we honor military veterans for Veteran's Day with a quote from Jimmy Stewart, who set aside his Hollywood career, to serve in World War II.

Here is the quote from Stewart:

"Never treat your audience as customers, always partners."

We have a quote from Stewart's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" co-star Lee Marvin on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire": http://www.nocturnalguy38.blogspot.com

Happy Veteran's Day; I'm Hittin' the Road

Since today is Veteran's Day and I am hitting the road, we thought an image from the iconic 1969 American biker film "Easy Rider" (Peter Fonda is pictured here) was in order even though the film is not a war film and it politically expresses vehement opposition to the Vietnam War. But, hey the Democratic Party lost seats in Congress last week, so how much more damage can I do?!

In all seriousness, I want to take a minute to thank all veterans for their service.

And, if anyone residing anywhere near Southern Pines, NC, wants to celebrate Veteran's Day Weekend, I can't think of a better way than to see my good friend Bruce Piephoff, a Greensboro folk singer, perform down there at the Jefferson Inn on Sunday afternoon.

Special Quote of the Day- Frank Capra

Today in honor of Veteran's Day, we are quoting two filmmakers who served in World War II. Both were generations apart and they had different views of the world, but undoubtedly both Robert Altman and Frank Capra (who will be quoted here) had a tremendosu impact on film.

The quote from Altman can be found on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire."

My late grandfather Donald Sullivan also served during WW II.

Here is the quote from the director of "It's a Wonderful Life:"

"Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and science."
