Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Production companies are hell bent on sequels, prequels and remakes; cause they are cheaper to make (usually already own rights), with an established fan base. I'm getting really tired of it and think it's part of the reason for the rise in HBO and Netflix (and similar platforms) popularity; they make excellent new productions.
Concur. Frankly, I think it's also compounded by just plain old laziness in Hollywood.
 
Updated American Assassin Preview....

As a Vince Flynn/Mitch Rapp fan I am already concerned that they've changed his backstory from losing his girlfriend in the Pan Am flight 103 bombing in 1988, to losing her to AK wielding terrorists on a beach....but I am guessing they did that so that they could use modern technology. I'll give them that one.

Your previous post on this movie already lost me. The fact that the star of a movie like this doesn't even know how to make it look like he knows how to use rifle sights and the producers aren't smart enough to keep it off a promo photo doesn't leave me with a lot of hope.

I've been this close to starting a thread where we can bitch about war/ tactical type movie inaccuracies.


Tears of the Sun. They're behind hostile lines. No rucks, yet they conduct an entire op. and spend ammo like its being dumped out of a resupply helicopter, for instance. :mad:

Perhaps I was asleep for some of the movie where they dumped rucks in an ORP. :-/

Bruce Willis's M68 was on backwards in that movie.

Hate because this barely resembles what Vince Flynn wrote. Mitch Rapp didn't have a bunch of disciplinary issues as a teenager. Also, the actor playing him looks like a fucking pussy.
 
You should hear what the community has to say about the advisor for the Hurt Locker. :-"
Hurt Locker was a joke on every level. The main character was portrayed as an undisciplined, yet skilled, rule breaker who rolled solo-cholo through Iraq as he saw fit to blow IEDs, fight sniper duels, and clear houses by himself. Also I love how he pulled up four 155mm artillery shell IEDs by the det cord. For no particular reason other than to show off his front deltoid strength. Seems legit.
 
They should pay us big us the big bucks to be advisors so this stupid shit doesn't happen;-)

I could just see that argument unfolding. Me "Mr Holywood that ain't how shit happens, this whole script is a bunch of bullshit". Him "This script is based off of the true accounts of Pvt Snuffy, of the 182nd Airborne Transportation Division". Me- tossing up my hands and walking away shaking my head.

Yeah I think I'll let candy land be candy land, besides it's makes it easier to snuff out people's bullshit stories.

"There I was cut off and alone, scared for my life, with nothing more than my wits and an M16 to get me through". :rolleyes:
