"Everything You Need To Know About the Bridge-Laying Patton Tanks Headed for Ukraine. The #Patton series of tanks debuted around 1950, meaning they’ve been in continuous service for 73 years. Not bad for a tank that left U.S. Army service in 1997."

Sometimes movie music is so distinctive, so suggesting of mood, it acts as an unseen player (#TheThirdMan). That's Jerry Goldsmith's #Patton score (♫), recipient of few accolades (Laurel) but evoking Americana like Copeland, Cline, Joplin, Souza, Guthrie, Foster & King #tcmparty

IRL #Patton was possessed of a “high-pitched, nasal and somewhat squeaky voice.” Scott does NOT attempt to replicate that. I wonder if they tried it, and dismissed it as silly? #TCMParty

#Patton disdain for PTSD victims reflects his own insecurity. He fears being afraid. #TCMParty

Notice that Omar Bradley (Karl Malden) is now also a 3-Star general, equal in rank to #Patton. The relationship between the two men was complex. #TCMParty

The American officer played by Edward Binns is Walter Bedell Smith, Eisenhower’s chief of staff. Smith was a mentor to my grandfather, who was a young officer on Ike’s staff, and who was married to the childhood friend of #Patton’s niece and mistress, Jean Gordon. #TCMParty

My grandmother’s father was chauffeur, and possibly lover, to Louise Gordon, owner of what is now now the Drumlin Farm Audubon Preserve outside Boston. My grandmother Jean and Jean Gordon were the same age and childhood playmates. #Patton #TCMParty

Continuing the theme of my family’s connections to notable events and people of the 20th century, my maternal grandmother’s best childhood friend was Jean Gordon, #Patton’s niece and almost certainly his mistress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Gordon_(Red_Cross) #TCMParty

Interesting the similarities between the scores for “Planet of the Apes” and #Patton. Same Director, same composer, same zeitgeist. Fundamentally, both are deconstructions of patriotism, nationalism, supremacy, and the nature of humanity. #TCMParty

Of course, #Patton was a proud, lifelong virulent racist and anti-Semite. Difficult seeing him dressed by a Black man. #TCMParty

#KumailNanjiani, #Patton Oswalt, #JamesAcaster and #EmilyAlynLind have been added to the cast of the #GhostbustersAfterlife sequel. All of the original cast including #PaulRudd and #CarrieCoon will return.

One of my favorite parts of this movie is the final dialogue spoken by actor George C. Scott as U.S. Army General George S. Patton, Jr., dialogue that concludes with something that should be in the “Truer words have never been spoken” category: “… all glory is fleeting.”

Americans traditionally love to fight. All REAL Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win ALL THE TIME. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.

Every time I read about the #American #veterans setting up a huge protest camp in 1930s #WashingtonDC, it's a reminder that #WorldWarII laundered the reputation of some awful characters like #Patton and #MacArthur.
