Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

[Deleted member 2517]

I want my money back. Any movie where Eastwood doesn’t shoot a guy or even raise his fist is not a true Eastwood movie. I thought it was long and drawn out, but I guess I was expecting it to be an action movie .

Clint’s already got your $10 in his bank account.... I’m sure if you write him a strongly worded letter he’ll refund you

LET US ENJOY THE VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like most Rangers, your lack of 'win' is only matter of "wrong place, wrong time" and all that. I don't need a tab or scroll to know that standards exist across generations for a reason...

You win the Internet points. Take the victory.

Eastwood was looking super frail so I don’t know why I was expecting it to be like Gran Turino maybe it was a good movie, but I kept thinking it was dragging on and building up to something. “Ok the narcos are going to kidnap the granddaughter and Clint is going to single handedly dismantle an entire cartel.” Wrong. The dude was driving a truck the whole time and growing flowers.

At least the final Rambo movie will have that plot, so Stallone better not let me down.

Was searching through Netlfix for anything and watched Burn After Reading.

It's pretty good, hilarious at times, don't know if I would go out of my way to watch it again but if you enjoy Coen Brother movies at all you'll like this.

Two things...

I agree and everyone I talked to agrees. Not even gun fingers?! Still a Clint movie that I would recommend.

My only question has been answered. What did our Overloard do. Ranger. Thank you Scary Admin

I mean, Clint is 88. Also, the movie is based on a real guy named Leo Sharp.

Best thing about the real story;

In an effort to avoid jail Sharp made one final, strange plea. If he could avoid jail, he proposed paying the $500,000 penalty he owed the government by growing Hawaiian papayas.

Man, actors like Clint Eastwood getting too old for the things we expect and want to see from them, is just sad .... Can some scientist come up with some life extending pill already ? we need those ppl ; (

After all these years, looks like Mav is up to the same ole shit.

I saw this tonight.

Took my 12 year old to see it, he was mesmerized. Hope to see it again after Christmas.
Anyone interested in Military History HAS to see this movie.

Just wish it was more available than yesterday and next week. Will be going next week though.

I keep working my way through the modern military films that Netflix recommends and so far my favourites are "six days" (Iranian embassy siege) and "13 hours" (Benghazi).

"Lone Survivor" I do not know what to think of because everytime I read something about what really happened, it is a different story.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

"13 hours" (Benghazi).

I watch this move 3-4 times per year, and every time it leaves me feeling furious for days.

When I watched it, it was all new to me. I never followed the Benghazi story when it played out in the media.

What struck me as the most ridiculous part, was dropping a US ambassador into a warzone with two bodyguards, miles away from any kind of support.

 

[SaintKP]

The boys said it was really good. Some interesting sound effects though. I want to know what you all think after you see it.

It was alright to me, very beautiful movie and better than the usual that DC puts out. Worth a watch. My only gripe is that it probably could have been a little shorter, it's a movie that you're aware of how long you've been sitting there for.

Everyone needs to go see “The Mule.” One of the best Clint Eastwood movies ever. You’ll laugh, and you might cry. You will not regret spending the money on it.

I trusted this and was burned for it, good movie yes. But best Eastwood?

Wife and I watched Office Christmas Party last night. Reminds me so much of those unit Christmas parties of days gone by.
