Every trailer I've seen for this makes it look like that Magnificent 7 series pilot we got a few years back, @hanshotfirst1138:disqus . I would swear they even used the same "Western Town" set…

The leader of the seven (Denzel Washington) is now a U.S. Marshal with a score to settle with the villain (Peter Sarsgaard), the sort of robber baron who walks into a room with a prepared monologue about capitalism, complete with visual aid.

I have that song on my iPhone, @mehdiakbar:disqus - along with "Nowhere Fast"! Jim Steinman was the perfect songwriter for Streets of Fire….

Red Dawn was Jack Webb's Red Nightmare for Reagan Republicans, @gorplee:disqus - only difference was that it was well-written and directed enough (in a Pulp Tragedy kind of way) that you could get swept up in the story even as you were laughing at it.

Oh, Red Dawn is as indefensible as Jack In the Box Tacos, @gorplee:disqus and @avclub-92c9b96871c64bbb5fc1913d3aec11b5:disqus - and like them, I love this movie's completely gaga Foam-at-the-Mouth Right Wing Guts'N'Guns'N'Cute Teenage Kids Going Postal world!

It’s fun to think about being a moviegoer in 1984, walking into The Terminator and expecting another B-movie rather than an breathlessly efficient stress-machine with an elegantly head-fucking Gordian knot of a plot.

I think my family was living in Europe when they did that, @avclub-7f389db64be5931a99231c3f7ce90288:disqus - though I vaguely remember McDonald's fries being pretty good. I thought it was just that I was a teenager then, and my tastebuds were wrecked by a steady diet of Kool-Aid and Hamburger Helper…. I even remember…

You Aussies are really into coffee, @avclub-032ec3b349f70da72193fe99e6aa84dc:disqus - I noticed that when T and I went over there on business earlier this summer. I asked if they had Starbucks, and everybody curled their lip and told me where I could find a LOT better coffee….

You must not have eaten KFC Fried Chicken lately, @avclub-6f3ef77ac0e3619e98159e9b6febf557:disqus , or you wouldn't say that.

Ugh - can I say I've eaten enough of these to venture an opinion, and I don't agree with any of them?

Selectively concerned, @Opera_Punk:disqus - but…yeah, pretty much.

Yes, but mainly by having to kill his friend and ally Harvey Dent than by anything else he did, @jackfrink:disqus - and Bane's actions towards him and Gotham City basically validated every Fascistic instinct Bruce Wayne/Batman ever had.

Yes, but Lucius also decided to trust that Bruce would destroy the Surveillance Device after Just This One Use (which he admittedly did), @avclub-62812d8eb06386505986efff8b5e43ac:disqus .

Poor SoB ended up being in the Atlas Shrugged movies, too - don't know if it was because he was cashing a paycheck, or he was a True Believer.

No, @avclub-c5fe25896e49ddfe996db7508cf00534:disqus - New Haven, CT!

Yeah, @avclub-7aefa9e2af18cd9e2fde628a5e813aa5:disqus …. ::sigh::

Strangely, @avclub-7aefa9e2af18cd9e2fde628a5e813aa5:disqus , I consider myself a Progressive - and yet, Fuck NeoLiberalism!

As has been pointed out already, @AngryPicard:disqus, Eastwood is a classic Libertarian - as opposed to most of what passes for "Libertarian" these days, which is "Corporate Right Oligarch".

Only if their last name is "Clinton", @disqus_80Jor4kFT0:disqus .

Christopher Nolan's work is more conservative even than Miller's love of a crypto-Fascist strongman hero, @disqus_LB6fda4Kxk:disqus - though I'll give you that Miller's gone past that, and far further Creepy-Right, since The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One! There's an embrace of The Surveillance State and a…
