THE VAMPIRE JESUS FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE! TONIGHT'S FEATURE - FORTRESS (2012)

By -
FORTRESS stars actors Bug Hall, Donnie Jeffcoat, Sean McGowan and Joseph Williamson. It relates the story of a B-17F crew in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations in the summer of 1943.

This movie isn't too bad, except for the ludicrous idea of distilling ethanol from gasoline and actually drinking it. In those days Avgas was laced with tetraethyl lead, and the boiling points of both are so goddamn close that it would be insanity to attempt such an effort under field conditions. Even vacuum distillation would be damn risky unless the temperature was constantly monitored, and even then, I'd never drink such with a gun to my head.

That said, the CGI is fair, perhaps it shouldn't have been so sharp, but the attention to detail in the cockpit is remarkable. Oh, and regardless of the YouTube title, Fortress is not a true story, other than the fact that B-17s were deployed in the European/Mediterranean Theaters of Operations.

I always sniff them first, their hair that is, not their crotches – say do you rem

Assassinations of national leaders and other high-ranking politicians and celebrities are not only history-making events, they are also history-changing ones as well. We can only speculate at what history would have looked like had these public figures had not been murdered, but for better or for worse, history was definitely altered. Here’s a list of the weapons used in some of the more infamous history-altering public and/or political killings (the official versions anyway); the photos are of the actual weapons used: Wogdon .544 dueling pistols - These pistols were used by Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton during their famous duel on July 11, 1804, which resulted in Hamilton's death.   Philadelphia .41 Derringer - Used by John Wilkes Booth to kill Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865.
