Look, I was doing fine with the film right up until Eric Bana gave his "You know what I think? I think no one cares what I think." line like he's really, really trying not hit us over the head with his "I'm a fucking bad-ass special forces" schtick. And Orlando Bloom says in his stilted, vaguely southern American

Carlin's early stuff (seven words, football vs. baseball etc, "stuff" etc) is still some amazing comedy, and I'll always respect him for that, but towards the end he just got more angry and less insightful and funny… two GW Bush administrations will do that to a man, though.

Whoa, upon looking over the IMBD page, there are a lot of non-American actors playing Americans in this movie. Man… so damn disingenuous.

Oh man, that is two separate Styx consolation posts. I feel like I'm missing something here…?

Black Hawk Down…
It isn't that I have a particular vendetta against this movie—and it isn't that big of a cultural mainstay either—but two weeks ago it was still a favorite of mine and then I watched it again and realized how it has an Aussie (Eric Bana) and—I count—three English guys playing American Soilders.

Professor Badass doesn't have a rich back story yet because there has yet to be a proper way to format cite the sources of his badassery; MLA, APA, and U of C methods can't cut it.

Oh my, yes. Paul Newman. Those blue, blue eyes of his…sigh.

I didn't read your post thoroughly and I found myself clicking the fake link a few times. I am not spy material.

You're not telling any tales out of school.

I always wondered if the regulars at that bar in the movie that Ah-nuld busts into ever go "Hey, you remember when that naked titan came in here, kicked the shit out of everyone and left with Roy's clothes and bike?"

Gimme some sugar, baby!

Tyler is certainly an addendum to my list, as is Jules. Let's not forget Michael Corleone too, while we're at it.

Shhhh! You don't know who is listening!

AMC is one of the best Channels on television if only for the fact that there is ALWAYS something on that I will end up watching the rest of.
