I had planned to see this much heralded movie this week at my usual theater in Fox Lake, Illinois, but found they had taken it off showings. I figured I'd have to go to Round Lake to see it.
After all, it has received all those Academy Award nominations and it was about World War II. I figured this had to be a good movie.
Saturday, I was at Woodstock, Illinois, for the annual Groundhog Days Festival. Most of the famous movie "Groundhog Day" was filmed here.
On my way over to the chili cook off at the Woodstock Opera House (Hotel Pennsylvanian in the movie), I passed by the Woodstock Theatre (the Alpine Theater in the movie) and saw they were showing "Imitation Game" starting at noon.
Well, I didn't get my chili this day.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
