Halloween Ends (2022, dir. David Gordon Green) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
Slight Halloween Kills spoilers lie ahead:
Halloween Ends was, much like the other two entries in this massive misfire of a trilogy, greatly disappointing and underwhelming. I have never, in my life, seen a trilogy of films introduce so many neat, unique, and new ideas into a stagnant franchise just to constantly, without fail, not deliver on any of them. This cool new character is created for the second film, Halloween Kills, and literally retconned into the events of the original movie. Seems pretty important right? They wouldn't just make a character seem that integral and build them up to make a commentary about the nature of fight or flight and how important it is to face your fears only to just unceremoniously do away with them, right? RIGHT?! Wrong, this is the very nature of David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy.
Similarly, a new character has been created for this new installment, as well. The entire opening sequence of the film revolves around this character, and it's interesting. They seemed to be building him up to do something refreshing with him and say something about Michael that, honestly, only Rob Zombie has ever dared to do. I allowed myself to believe that, finally, after three movies, this trilogy would actually try to do something interesting and unique, and yet again I was slapped across the face with the same boring, mundane slaughterfest this franchise has been plagued by since 1981's Halloween II (this, of course, excludes Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which is a massively underrated installment in the franchise that has absolutely nothing to do with Michael Myers and, really, I'm starting to wish it had gone down the anthology path as originally intended). Green and co-writer Danny McBride never hesitate to fast-pedal their way in the easiest direction, the path of least resistance. Michael shows up, Michael kills everything in sight, Michael moves on, rinse, repeat. It's just. So. Boring.
In all fairness, the cinematography and the acting are quite good (Jamie Lee Curtis never fails to impress), and John Carpenter's scores for all three films are fantastic, as always. Also, the climactic encounter at the film's end is massively entertaining, or at least it seemed that way in comparison to the rest of it. I'm just so tired of seeing this franchise fall prey to the highly unoriginal brutality porn and weak, lazy writing that we've gotten for a solid trilogy now. In response to Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of the original film, John Carpenter mentioned that the reason the remake didn't work (it did) was because Zombie tried to humanize Michael, he tried to give a reason for the madness, for the brutality. He posited that Michael (or "The Shape" as he is commonly referred to in the original film as well as Green's new trilogy) only works as an unstoppable force of nature. That explaining Michael only serves to strip him of the mystique that makes him so interesting. No offense to Mr. Carpenter, he is an incredibly talented director and one of the all-time greats, but that's bullshit. When you don't give Michael a reason for being, if he truly is just unstoppable, this whole operation crumbles under the weight of its own repetitiveness. That idea cannot sustain an entire trilogy, we just witnessed that fact. The idea that Michael is some supernatural force works for a single movie, it can add to the film's commentary about our fears of the unreasonable, the seemingly unreal, but past that it loses its appeal. The mystique dies around the twentieth time we see Michael unceremoniously stab a person that we weren't meant to care about in the first place.
All of that to say, while not nearly as wildly infuriating as Halloween Kills, Ends still manages to miss the mark and throw away the potential of something better, something more meaningful, and something worth watching. Laurie Strode deserves better, Michael Myers deserves better, and it is time for this franchise to, indeed, End.
Score: 4/10

82ª DIVISÃO AEROTRANSPORTADA AMERICANA - Histórias da Segunda Guerra Mundial - Parte 1
Tumblr media
82d Divisão Aerotransportada - Breve História
A 82a Divisão foi constituída no Exército Nacional em 5 de agosto de 1917 para apoiar a entrada dos Estados Unidos na Primeira Guerra Mundial. Foi organizado em 25 de agosto de 1917 em Camp. Gordon, perto de Atlanta, Geórgia. Camp. Gordon não existe mais, mas uma placa comemorativa da 82d Divisão em Camp. Gordon está localizada no local, no Aeroporto Executivo de Peachtree. Durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, muitas divisões dos EUA decidiram por um apelido para ajudar a construir esprit-de-corpos e um vínculo entre os homens. A 82a Divisão não foi diferente. 
O Comandante Geral, Brigadeiro-General W. P. Burnham, realizou um concurso em conjunto com os homens da Divisão, os cidadãos de Atlanta e o jornal georgiano de Atlanta. Milhares de sugestões foram derramadas no jornal, e foi até o governador Hugh Dorsey, BG Burnham e Major R.E. Beebe para peneirar todos eles e decidir qual entrada ganharia a honra de nomear uma das divisões de luta do Tio Sam.
A Divisão teve um grupo muito diversificado de homens treinando para se tornar uma unidade de combate. Muitos eram imigrantes que falavam pouco com nenhum inglês. Mas um facto surgiu, e a Sra. Vivienne Goodwyn viu isso imediatamente. Havia homens de cada um dos 48 estados da 82a Divisão, o que era único para a época. A maioria das divisões organizadas para a guerra abrangeu homens de três a cinco estados. - A Sra. Vivienne, como ficou conhecida, apresentou a seleção vencedora, Divisão "The All American". O remendo original da manga do ombro da Divisão de um quadrado vermelho com um círculo azul no meio logo teria soldados costurando um AA duplo no azul.
Tumblr media
Patch feito à mão
O 82d foi uma das primeiras sete divisões dos EUA a chegar à Inglaterra e lutar na França. A Divisão participou da Batalha de Lorena de 1918, e as campanhas de St. Mihiel e Meuse-Argonne 1918. O primeiro All American morto em combate foi o Capitão Jewett Williams, 326a Infantaria, na noite de 9 de junho de 1918. Dois americanos, LTC Emory J. Pike e o cabo Alvin C. York receberia a Medalha de Honra por suas ações em combate. O general John J. Pershing chamou o cabo York de um dos maiores soldados da guerra. O 82d foi desmobilizada em 27 de maio de 1919 em Camp Mills, Nova York, depois de voltar para casa da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Foi reconstituído nas Reservas Organizadas como Sede, 82d Division, em 24 de junho de 1921 e alojado no Edifício Federal em Columbia, Carolina do Sul.
Após o ataque japonês a Pearl Harbor, a Divisão foi redesignada em 13 de fevereiro de 1942 como Sede da Divisão, 82d Division. Foi ordenado a serviço ativo em 25 de março de 1942 em Camp Claiborne, Louisiana, sob o comando do general Omar Bradley. O Sargento (Promovido) Alvin C. York se dirigiu aos homens e os inspirou a continuar sua história e serviço da Primeira Guerra Mundial. O general Bradley iniciou um regime de treinamento rigoroso e físico, que foi realizado pelo próximo comandante, o major-general Matthew Bunker Rigdway.

 Em 15 de agosto de 1942, a Divisão foi reorganizada e designada Divisão Aérea 82d. dos Estados Unidos O Exército adotou e desenvolveu o conceito aerotransportado, e o 82d seria a primeira divisão dos EUA a receber essa designação. Maj. Gen. Ridgway lideraria a Divisão para o Norte da África em maio de 1943, onde treinou intensamente para o ataque aéreo na ilha da Sicília para a Operação HUSKY.
Em setembro de 1943, o general Mark Clark, Quinto Exército, solicitou que o Maj. Gen. Ridgway enviasse o 82d para cair na cabeça da praia de Salerno para ajudar a garantir a posição italiana estabelecida pelos Aliados. A Operação AVALANCHE, composta por dois saltos noturnos consecutivos, cumpriu a missão e eliminou qualquer dúvida que os Aliados seriam empurrados de volta para o mar. A Operação SHINGLE, um ataque marítimo do 504o Regimento de Infantaria de Paraquedas, deu aos Aliados mais uma posição na península italiana.

Enquanto o 504o ficou na Itália para lutar, o resto do 82o se dirigiu para a Inglaterra para se preparar e treinar para a Operação NEPTUNE, o ataque aéreo da Operação OVERLORD, a ofensiva aliada na Normandia, França. Acompanhado pelos 507o e 508o Regimento de Infantaria de paraquedas, o 82d atacou a Normandia com 12.000 tropas de Paraquedistas e Glider, 6 de junho de 1944. Sua missão era destruir pontes de abastecimento vitais da Alemanha e capturar estradas que levam para o interior através das áreas inundadas atrás das praias da Normandia, onde as forças marítimas desembarcariam para ganhar o controle das comunicações. O 82d lutou por 33 dias sem alívio ou substituições, e mais uma vez completou com sucesso a missão.
O ataque aéreo final para a 82a Divisão Aerotransportada durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial foi na Holanda em setembro de 1944. A Operação MARKET GARDEN faria com que os Americanos realizassem um salto diurno para Nijmegen. Liderado por seu novo comandante, o Brig. Gen. James M. Gavin, os objetivos do 82o era capturar e segurar as pontes-chave em Grave e Nijmegen, bem como algumas pontes subsidiárias sobre um canal a leste de Grave.
O 82d saltou e se reuniu com sucesso na ponte do rio Maas em Grave e garantiu a estrutura dentro de uma hora. Gavin liderou seus homens na luta e garantiu a aproximação da ponte em Nijmegen, o segundo maior ponto na Holanda e fortemente fortificado pelo inimigo. No dia seguinte, 200 homens do 82d realizaram uma travessia diurna do rio Waal em movimento rápido na tentativa de garantir a extremidade oposta da Ponte Nijmegen. A resistência alemã era feroz, mas os americanos atravessaram, garantiram a ponte e abriram uma rota para o rio Reno e para a Alemanha.
Os Americanos descansaram brevemente depois da Holanda, mas a última ofensiva alemã em dezembro de 1944, a Batalha do Bulge, encerrou qualquer alívio. Depois de ser levado às pressas para o combate com pouca comida, munição e roupas de inverno, o 82d segurou seu terreno contra tanques e artilharia alemães, começou a empurrar o inimigo para trás, e em fevereiro de 1945 estavam indo para dentro da Alemanha. Durante o esforço para acabar com a guerra, a Divisão libertou um campo de trabalho em Wobbelin, Alemanha. O 82d também recebeu a rendição incondicional de 146.000 homens do 21o Exército Alemão em Ludwigstlust.
A Segunda Guerra Mundial terminou em maio de 1945, e a 82a Divisão Aerotransportada receberia a honra do Dever de Ocupação em Berlim. É em Berlim, onde a Divisão recebeu seu segundo e mais famoso apelido, “Guarda de Honra da América” do General George S. Patton, depois de ter reencontrado os Paraquedistas. Quatro homens receberam a Medalha de Honra por suas ações durante a guerra, o soldado de primeira classe Charles N. DeGlopper, privado Joe Gandara, soldado John R. Towle e o primeiro sargento Leonard A. O Funk. Estima-se que entre mortos e feridos houve 9.073 homens durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Mapa da atuação na Europa durante a Segunda Guerra
Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial e no início dos anos 1960, a 82a Divisão Aerotransportada treinou duro durante a Guerra Fria para se tornar a Força de Reação Estratégica do país. Eles participaram de inúmeros e variados exercícios contendo até 60.000 homens, nos EUA, e treinados na Groenlândia, Alasca, América do Sul, Turquia e África. O poder e a coragem do 82d foram testados novamente.

Bookie premieres today
Bookie, the new TV series from Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay, is out today.
From EMMY-nominated creator Chuck Lorre (THE BIG BANG THEORY) and Nick Bakay, this darkly funny comedy follows veteran Los Angeles bookie Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco) as the potential legalization of sports gambling in California threatens to upend his business for good. Alongside best friend and former NFL player Ray (Omar J. Dorsey), side-hustling sister Lorraine (Vanessa Ferlito), and reluctantly reformed drug dealer Hector (Jorge Garcia), Danny must contend with his increasingly unstable clients as he tries to settle their debts – all while making plenty of risky bets of his own. Full of relatable mishaps, Bookie chronicles one man’s journey to adapt to an ever-changing world as he attempts to charm and con his way to the top.
