Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
MOVIE'S 2014
-
Godzilla was too uneven for me, a mixture of gripping character drama with Cranston but then gets kinda goofy with Wantanabe and the scientists. Not that either were poorly done, but I’d prefer if they stuck to one tone and ran with it. Also coulda used more Godzilla.
Regarding X-Men, First Class didn’t do anything for me but I appreciate the difference a new director and creative team can make. Heard lots of good things about this one though. Plus any movie that features Jennifer Lawrence can’t be bad, she’s America’s Sweetheart and Action Title Belt holder.
-
I thought Godzilla war great. Just needed a tad bit more monster fights, and a remake of the original Score.
DOFP was really good, the plot was interesting.
Spider-man 2 was good also, just disappointed that rhino barely was in it.
-
Jump Street 22 sucked. Boring. Standard schlock.
-
I’m looking forward to the turtles movie.
I always loved turtles as a kid, and goddamn Megan Fox is one hot chick.

The previews have the TMNT fighting an organization similar to COBRA. I need my turtles in classic form, fighting Shedder and evil mutants.
I feel Megan Fox has gotten less attractive since her Transformer days. I need my April O Neil in a yellow jump suit and d cup size.
My kids have got to experience the original cartoon series with me, good stuff.
-
Megan Fox is a very unattractive beautiful woman.
-
Very well put. Will just wait for Turtles on TV. Will see Edge of Tomorrow on Monday, heard some good things about it.
-
In England they’re TMH (for Hero) Turtles: Ninjas is bad.
-
Except for the shaky cam “Edge of Tomorrow” was pretty good. I just hate the shaky cam film making style that is standard op these days.
I had to skip “Turn” and I guess I’ll be skipping “Falling Skies” given how I couldn’t get through the first ten minutes of the opener because of the shaky cam.
-
Edge of Tomorrow is basically Nietzsche’s concept of Eternal Recurrence with some modifications.
He says you basically repeat everything in life, while this movie offers the opportunity that you remember the past and can enable a better repeat with successive returns…
I think the movie sucked. Waste of money.
-
Expendables III and Flash comming soon.
Any bids?? -
Cliche movies. Avoid.

hmm Fuhny or fury? we will see…

omg, sorry, but that trailer looks awful.
This movie seems like just another WW2 movie, where the US americans pretend to be the great war heroes that saved Europe from Nazi Germany.
So much pathos and nationalism and patriotism, I can’t even stand to watch the trailer, let alone the movie…
-
Thanks for the trailer Aequitas.
I saw a Tiger… -

ya MrRoboto it looks like it, may be a DVD watch worth.
The upside is, this time they used a real Tiger tank. Tiger late Version with his own tracks, not like the one they used in saving Ryan ,half Tiger half T34 late production 8-).
The movie looks like a made up story.Ya Wittmann, we can only hope that they gave the Tiger a very good prescence in it!
-
Exactly. And it cannot be destroyed by an Amerikaner. In a Sherman!
I thought it was Tiger 131 from Bovington. -
Lol, you guys are some nerds :-)
I don’t care at all, which tank it is and wouldn’t recognize it in any way. And it doesn’t really influences how good a movie is, if you ask me.
Story, camera, actors, directing, editing, costumes, depth, emotion… these are the things that matter in movies. Not “realness” of tanks
But then… we are on a forum that focuses on WW2 so I shouldn’t be surprised :-)
-
you finally figured, welcome on board! :-D
It is easy to recognize the details. The late version of a Tiger has a diffrent commanders exit, the place of the notec light is also important and of course the Verschachtelung - Setting of the wheels is giving you some clues. Also the camo, zimmerit,insignias of the Division and does the Tank still have the Africa tubes on the Exhaustion pipes etc, etc…very simple ha, ha, ha…
Isn’t the Bovington one from africa?
-
Abandoned in Tunisia, yes, captured by the British . Was from the 504th Battalion.
