WHOZZAT?

Colonel von Stauffenberg is a German officer who helped engineer a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

"Why draw him, citizen 17?" you may ask.
Because I just saw Valkyrie, starring Tom-nut Cruise.
It was very cool. Seriously.
I enjoyed it, the images were spectacular.

This is more about Stauffenberg than Tom Cruise, though I did my best to try and make it look like him.
But alas, my incompetence yet again shone through.
It's alright.
I just needed to get this out of my system.
He's so badass. :heart:

Now, I know what some of you are thinking.
"LIEK EW TOM CRUISE EEZ LIEK CRAZY LIEK HE JUMPED ON OPRAHS SOFA AND HE BELIEVES IN GALACTIC OVERLORDS."
My answer?
Get over the sofa thing.
And embrace his hilarious belief as you embrace Matt's belief in zetas.
Tom Cruise cracks me up. I want a miniature replica of him in my pocket.

Enjoy!

Indeed. It's very good. And it has actors from Der Untergang, which was also, perhaps more, spectacular.

And thanks! The blood is for the connoisseurs like you. ;)

I can't tell you how many times I've seen that film. It's gorgeous.

I meant, for people who know what it's all about. That's what a connoisseur is. It's from the French term "connaisseur", meaning, literally, somebody who knows all about a certain subject. =D

I loved this movie too! It was a nice change to see things from the German perspective in that period.

Amen to that.
I think it was quite good. And Tom Cruise did a nice job.

Awesome job!! Like how you added the blood spot.

Saw the movie the day after it was released, very cool. Now I'm doing a speech on Operation Valkyrie! XD
