LOL.. they weren't running either but you had an excuse for that too... the clips that showed them moving briskly were re-enactments from th e history channel movie... sheesh
give up you can't win
your losing it old man... i said they didn't run because they couldn't and it wasn't due to the armour... they were completely surrounded... if they weren't then the 2nd robber would of hopped into the car and they would of drove the car out of there... they were completely surrounded with no way out...
i first gave you 1 clip of an renactment but after that i gave 2 or 3 clips from the actual robbers that were shot by newspeople in the air... oh how you forget so easily or didn't watch it at all..

i'm not here to be popular, never was. ask anybody, they'll agree.. why does that bother you so much? if i was looking to be popular i'd be somewhere else.
You could of fooled me. Anyways that is not what bothers me. What bothers me is when you start being an azz to someone when they weren't to you. And maybe i was in the past thread but I wasn't being one to you in this one. I made a thread for the crew so we could recommend movies to each other and not one to make it a c*ck fest like you like to do which is evident...
I belong to another forum for music that has an exact same thread like this one... it was what inspired me to create this one and guess what? Not one single fight or insult to each other... just people recommending movies to each other and saying why... and most of them are younger then you and me... says alot about someone 10 years older then me who can't have a convo in a thread without turning it into a fight eventually instead of having a friendly convo and recommending a movie to us... something up your azz lately and it is obvious...

actually you originally said they weren't weighed down by their armour, but you couldn't prove it.
furthermore? you jumped all over me for not reading up on it before i posted.
funny thing is? i actually said i didn't read up on it before i posted in th every first post i made
it most definitely is you that's looking for something, keep looking... maybe you'll get lucky.

You keep telling yourself that... if you have to prove you have a bigger c*ck then me... then so be it... i could care less and like i said at the end of the day when i turn this computer off i go about my life and could care less about you... now that must be frustrating to you... no one caring about you and hearing your rants of I am right I am right...
But anyways i am going back to movies... rant all you want... will just make you look like a fool in a movie recommendation thread...
Anyways anyone recommend Vantage Point who has seen it?
Looks like no good movies debuting this weekend...

i proved it with the actual clips that they could move quite easily and i don't mean running... even Pagan or someone else said the same to you... but anyways whateva...
So ok... I'll skip that Devils whatever movie you mentioned...
I might go see Going to Hell which debuted tonight... on sunday i mean... got good reviews in the paper today which I was surprised... horror related movies usually don't...

Mach, serious as a heart attack? this is wher you got me "rolling":
honor is a fantasy the military feeds us to justify what they do sometimes that is not honorable ala My Lai...
My Lai happened. just like people get killed in the streets and Mexcio by gangs.
i don't know why you deny the existnce of honor. but i not only beleive in it, i try to live it and so do alot of us, and it si what separates us fromt eh animals. and it is what aheckofalot of movies are about.
somehow? i don't beleive you when you try to deny the existence of it.
i'm not putting myself out as an example for other people to live by, it's for myself. and it is very real to me, so i will always take issue with peopl that don't respect it. i don't demand it from others either. heck i don't even expect it from most people, that would be foolish. but it exists, and to people who care about it? it's extremely important. it's not easy to teach either.

Others have said it best so i will just paste their statements:
"The film is criticized for glorifying the Vietnam War, and, in 2005, Chicago newspaper movie critic Roger Ebert enumerated it in his list of most-hated films for being a "heavy-handed, remarkably old-fashioned film."
"The story occurs in southern Vietnam, which does not have pine trees, though numerous scenes in the film are shot around stands of pine trees."
as for "realistic" war movies? i don't like Mel Gibson much but We Were Soldiers Once, and Young is very realistic too.
_________________________________________________
We just see the definition of totally unrealistic and glorifying war differently.
I don't see where the movie The Green Berets glorified war, unless losing friends and kids is glorifying. Maybe it glorified the Green Berets a little more than they should have.
There should be some glory in losing your life for your country and maybe saving a friend, otherwise what is there?
In some ways most war movies and westerns try to take the edge off by making the main character bigger than life most of the time, so i guess in a sense that is glorifying the main character, but i think that's what we want no matter what the movie is.
When you stated that the movie Green Berets was totally unrealistic, i wasn't thinking in terms of trees or ground that might not be identicle, i looked at the main story behind what happened in Vietnam as related to the Green Berets.
Im not sure if i ever saw a pine tree in Vietnam, really didn't care unless i was getting shot at and it gave me cover.
I remember the rubber trees mainly because they were no fire zones for us and fire zones for them.
I also remember that awfull red clay soil that use to stick on us like glue.
But as far as the Green Berets and forward LZ's that the story seems to stem around, they were very real and they use to work with the ARVN troops.
My unit had occasions when we were air mobiled in, to be the outer perimeter around these LZ's when the Green Berets thought they might get hit.
All i remember is the Green Berets drinking beer and having hot meals, while we ate sea rations and got the saft. If this LZ did get hit they had to go through us first to get at them.
These guys were suppose to be the bad as..... not us draftee's.
That's when i thought i got drafted in the wrong army like Goldee Hawn did.
The Green Beret training was to work with the local forces just like the movie, and they did run into their own sh...
I don't try getting to picky to think everything in these movies is going to be identicle to what ever situation or place they are trying to get across.
It just does not seem possible to do unless they shoot on location.

Sounds like you did get drafted into the wrong army and to me the draftee's should of been glorified more so then the GB's...

Ya, that is kind of difficult to do considering the year it was made and what was going on...

wow! what an amazing, realistic movie!!
I never watched this one because the title turned me off... what is it about anyways without giving away the movie?
If I remember correctly, it was about a pre-teen beauty pageant, like a road trip or something. I'm just wondering if jordan was being facetious after the previous board comments.

I think you guys love each other (glassman & Mach).....there may be a future for you two in California.....
Oh yeah,....the supreme court held up "prop 8".....to bad. Guess you two will have be content with acting married in this forum (just kidding).
I figure that people who are into trading may be into gambling in general. If you have not seen it; I would recommend "Rounders."
It's decent for a movie. If you like Poker and the gambler's mentality; it's great.
Mach, As for "Greed being Good".....I want argue that to much. Just remember,"Pigs get fat, Hogs get slaughtered."

"Rounders" is one of my favorites....not exceptionally good; I just see a lot of me in some of the characters. Hence the name I chose to be called on this message board......btw, I noticed some crappy English in my last post....forgive me. I have noticed that b/cause I type a lot; I often mis-type words like "want" and "won't." Not sure why.
Unrelated to the topic at hand.....I am new to trading and to message boards in general. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can better educate myself?
I am a Poker transplant....love poker; but got kind of burned out on it. Thought about trading and have fallen in love with it (so far); but I know that I am in for a major burn if I don't learn how it all works and what a lot of this terminology means.
I am not trying to crowd this forum or change the topic....just felt better asking for help in this informal thread.
Not ashamed to ask for any guidance and please do not be concerned with coming off as condecending.....assume that I know nothing; because essentially, that's exactly what I know.

Are you saying not to mess with the pennies or just know what you're messing with?
Btw.....recently decided to join netflix....thought that I would watch get some of the supposed "classics" that I have heard referenced, but have never actually seen. I would strongly discourage anyone from renting "A Clockwork Orange." It sucked.

I don't think to many people would show up for a movie about draftee's.
Maybe if they made the lead man Chevy Chase.
War Movie's always sound better if they are about The Green Berets, Marines, or Navy Seals.

I believe that Tom Hanks was a captain (and probably still drafted) but the rest were enlisted or draftees.....Saving Private Ryan was amazing.
My Grandfather was a paratrooper in the WWII and seeing that movie gave me a brand new (if not complete) view of what that generation did.....simply amazing and on the heals of the "Depression." In case you can't tell....I am in awe.
Funny story.....(I know grandaddy prolly did not make it up so don't ruin it by saying you've heard it before).....I asked grandaddy how many times he had jumped out of a plane during the war......"Zero"........"they pushed my ass out every time"! "Why would I jump out of a perfectly good airplane!"

Actually I'm a poker player as well and Rounders is my 2nd favorite movie of all time.. seen it a billion times because i have it on DVD... when i watch it i almost know all the lines by hard...
As for Glass, we would probably kill each other on our honeymoon... and i'll put 50 lbs of armor to sink him down the ocean and say... yup ur right bud lol

why did you like clockwork Mach? i read it long before i saw it, and the only reason i saw it was a friend rented it and i was there.
i was told i would like the book and hated it. so i never really wanted to see it...i was an avid sci-fi reader and found it lacking as a sci-fi story... the main character was what i consider a real punker...

I never read the book. Didn't even know there was one til recently. But I loved the movie and can't explain why. I think it has to do with it being a psychological film to me. I have always been into them. never even considered the movie sci fi. i just think he did ultra violence in a very artsy way. and yes the main character is a real punker... I don't think Kulbrik has ever done a bad movie unless perhaps his last one which I haven't seen but i heard wasn't that good... all of his movies have been psychological that have shown the darkside of the human psyche:
The Shining A Clockwork Orange Full Metal Jacket 2001: A Space Odyssey etc.
