Watched True Romance finally. Gary Oldman's awesome performance was the best thing about the movie.
Rented The Outpost after reading Clint Romesha's book Red Platoon. Pretty close and faithful to the book except for a few annoying PC hollywoodizations.
When the apaches first come to the rescue a woman pilots voice comes over the radio when all the pilots in reality were men (have to get that feminism in there) and you could tell the director/producer were being very careful about their portrayal of Captain Brower given the current racial tensions. He was largely blamed for several failures in later investigations of the incident. Also the actor that played Ty Carter (the other MoH recipient) made him look like a total slack jaw yokel which is an unfair portrayal.
Otherwise, pretty decent film that gives credit to those poor cav troopers stuck in the tactically awful outpost keating amidst a complete onslaught by the Taliban.
We've watched the first two episodes of Hunters this week. I can feel the wife getting annoyed with the "comic book feel" you guys reference. I personally like it and I find it kind of a Scott Pilgrim feel, albeit more subtly so.
I'm not sure I'm connecting with any of the characters yet (oddly the young Nazi kid is the most intriguing, while obviously repellent). The only one I was starting to like on the "good guys" side just got killed I think...
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Just finished up S2 of Hanna on Amazon Prime. 8 episodes this season .
I enjoyed it. Worth the time IMHO.
Taking a journey tonight back to some of America's finest cinema... Conan the Barbarian
