Rocketeer

I caught part of the movie Rocketeer this past weekend.

It's got Jennifer Connelly, what's not to like?

Lots of gun content.   1911s, Tommy guns, MP40 ish looking German guns.

Only it is set in 1938.  So...  Odd there would Machine Pistols from the year 1940...

But that is my favorite era in US History.  The 1930s.  Really the Hoover administration and the first two commie terms of the FDR administration.  Not reason to like it from those two socialists, but I like it stylistically.  No reason to like it for the Hard Times of the Depression, then Great Depression, but I do.  It's where I set my 'modern day' fiction when I have a gumption to write.

My Uncle was born in 1934.  My Father in 1938.  My favorite Stanley woodworking tools era was in the 30s, and they'd all be eclipsed post war (I sorta collect tools made between when my Grandpa was born in 1906 and when my father was born in 1938).  The US wasn't dragged into overseas foreign policy stuff.  I like the look of the cars.  Prohibition ended.  Air conditioning and antibiotics were invented.  Men wore hats.  Those horrid ballpoint pens weren't a thing yet.

The war changed everything.  What came after it had it's charm, but I like the time before the war.
