If half-baked obvious and easily-disproven outright lies can still convince millions of people they are 'truths', any halfway-decent propaganda machine can work (dangerous) miracles...

Yeah, Anastasia would count, regardless. I have no problem with theater being counted. Hell, I count panel discussions at Drive-in movie and Horror conventions.

I woke up early this morning, so thought I'd watch a couple things for the Challenge. I just finished a couple episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess, on Hulu, including an episode that introduced my favorite character in the series, Kevin Smith, as Ares. I forget the exact year it happened, but I still remember what I was doing when I heard that he had died in a horseback accident, while filming a stunt for a movie, in either New Zealand, or Australia.

Not seen it, but as long as it actually takes place in the 80s (as I assume it does, by its soundtrack and premise), then it should count.

Oh i liked it tremendously - with the new songs that obviously weren't in the movie it made it better. Set design and use of projected imagery was fantastic - the ending of Act 1 was a stunner.

I should revisit the movie. Other than a couple of Big Songs, I thought the movie was a little slow, and I didn't like the comic-relief non-humans.

thankfully for the Broadway version both Bartok and Rasputin aren't in it, the musical mixes the story of the animated version and the 1956 Yul Brynner movie

While browsing AHC GO, on my tablet, I just discovered a very good show, called, What History Forgot. It features segments of little known history facts that most people don't know, like a terrorist attack that happened on Liberty Island during World War I, to keep America from sending ammunition to the Allies during the war, or how Monopoly played a role in helping over 30,000 POWs escape from German POW Camps during World War II.

Well, my wife and I saw the Broadway production of SUNSET BOULEVARD with Glen Close on Saturday, and, since it's a period piece which includes at least one actual historic figure (CB DeMille) I'll be counting it. Close was magnificent, and even though the musical doesn't have Billy Wilder's sardonic wit, it still works.

Just watched a new Cinemax series (since canceled) called Quarry, which follows a Vietnam vet as he returns home and faces backlash. It also ties in civil rights and the Nixon-McGovern election. Good crime series, but not as good as previous Cinemax series Banshee and Strike Back.
Hey, I'm going to see Cabaret and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion this week!
Man, Close returning to the role after 25 years just kind of puts a new meta twist on that show.

I just finished Season One of Dogfights. Been enjoying revisiting that show, and will likely start Season Two before the month is out. The only episode that wouldn't be eligible is the bonus episode, Dogfights Of The Future.

I bought tickets to see the live Fathom events performance with Tim Minchin as Judas, but it got cancelled for some reason. I did finally buy the Blu-ray but was disappointed. He really doesn't have the pipes for that role and was auto-tuned.

One of my favorite shows. I've seen it twice with Carl Anderson, once with Ted Neely. One of the Carl Anderson tours was with Sebastian Bach as Jesus but I made the mistake of seeing the Sunday matinee and of course Bach was indisposed, so we saw the understudy. The other Carl Anderson performance (the one with Ted Neely) was also supposed to have Dennis DeYoung of Styx as Pilate, but we got his understudy, as well.

I saw Ted Neely in the BroadwayAcrossAmerica national tour in 2009 - wow, what a performance, the guy sitting to my left was in complete awe at the end of the title song near the end of the show where Jesus rises off of the stage, his eyes were as big as saucer plates and his jaw was gaping (it was too funny).
I was also lucky enough to catch Michael Crawford on a tour doing the "Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber" and he did Gethsemane, as well. Not lucky enough to catch him actually doing Phantom, but he sang most of his Phantom songs (and even other character's songs he liked) in that show.
I was fortunate enough to catch revivals of Jesus Christ Superstar with Carl Anderson and Ted Neeley, Cabaret with Joel Grey, Camelot with Richard Harris, and Fiddler on the Roof with Topol.

Thanks to this Challenge, I discovered a show that I've greatly enjoyed watching, Ancient Assassins. I've been watching episodes of it on both AHC on Demand, on TV, and on AHC GO, on my tablet. It's amazing how great some of the warriors and special forces were back in both ancient and medieval times.

I'm not counting it for the Challenge, but I just watched a history making stunt on TV. Erindera Wallenda did a record breaking stunt, where she hung from a helicopter over Niagara Falls, including in part of her routine, hanging from her teeth, to celebrate the anniversary of her husband's tightrope walk over the Falls. The reason I'm not counting it for the Challenge, however, is that while it may have been history making, since it took place today, it wasn't in history.

This morning I watched Gods and Generals, the Extended Director's Edition. Man... that's a looooong film! It clocks in at 4 1/2 hours *before* the credits roll! I found it interesting but there were times it dropped to a crawl... mostly telling the story of Boothe, which felt mostly fictional (but I've never read enough about him to know just how much *is* known), but also at other times. Due to the length I don't know how often I'll watch this one but do feel it deserves more than 1 viewing.
I almost followed it with Gettysburg but it, too, is over 4 hours! I couldn't convince myself to do over 8 hours on Civil War films today. Maybe tomorrow...
Last night I wanted something light before bed so I put in S1 of Hogan's Heroes - a long-time favorite. I now feel the need to get in some McHale's Navy and You'll Never Get Rich (aka The Phil Silvers Show just to watch something from the three main service branches. I considered Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. but as there's no war going on in the series it doesn't truly have the "Historical" area covered.

I own both Gods And Generals, and Gettysburg. I'd like to watch them again sometime this month, as I do enjoy them, but I've been having trouble convincing myself to sit down and watch a four hour movie, let alone two of them.

Re: Eighth Annual Historical Films Challenge June 1-30 2017
Yeah... I was going to watch them both last Saturday but took a look at the times first! I decided to put it off a bit and this morning decided to just split them up for now. I may do a back-to-back viewing in the future.
