Wonkette Movie Night Nov. 2 Special Event: Saving Private Ryan
PROUDLY SPONSORED BY PENZEYS
“How do we relate this election to something in our history that most will understand and in a way that makes an actual impact? We still have that customer (it’s really more his daughter now that is our customer) who is a living veteran of D-Day. He paid the cost for freeing us from fascism eighty years ago and he has paid it every day since. I think this election lives with him.
That Republican voters are not only throwing away the incredible sacrifice so many Americans made for freedom, but they are condemning us to face those same unbearable costs yet again. It is just too much.
His message of “earn this” is a message for all of us. It’s up to us to make the incredible sacrifices of those who came before us worth something. It is a message America could use to have echo in this moment.” -Bill Penzey
Saving Private Ryan will be starting an hour earlier than our usual movie start time due to its length.
5pm PT / 8pm ET
Available with subscription on Paramount +. With library card on Kanopy and hoopla.
$3.99 in the usual places.
Both my parents survived the Nazi occupation in France, so I'm beyond heartbroken that so many of our neighbors are so easily led to slaughter by a wanna-be gangster. Come on America, let's defeat fascism again, for those who did it 83 years ago!
Tell me (us?) more about this Sponsored by Penzey's thing! What an honor!
