No legal grey area. It's illegal.

We need to do a better job listening to people with different points of view.

Trump on Christie:

The film technique used to represent CPT Miller’s perspective after he presumably was concussed is brilliant. It has become almost cliched now, but was this an innovation at the time? I can't remember a previous film with a similar sequence.

He tries very rarely nowadays, but Vin Diesel is actually a good actor - somewhat limited in range, but really charismatic and of course, skilled at using that gravel-in-a-cement-mixer voice.

I have weird feelings about the whole plotline of Upham insisting on letting the one German soldier go, only to execute him later

I would also contend that Saving Private Ryan is not an anti-war movie. Its stance is more like: this is war. This is the ugly mess that it is. But to be against this means letting the Nazis take over.

Maybe I’m an outlier, then, because every time I think about popping in my “Saving Private Ryan” DVD for a re-watch, I change my mind half the time because of the D-Day sequence. It is utterly brutal.

...which inspired my favourite porn movie parody title, Shaving Ryans Privates.

Armageddon is a movie I absolutely hated as a teenager when it came out and really didn’t enjoy.

A climactic encounter with another prominent Republican pushes further while still going more or less where the audience might expect, toward an incident that would constitute a front-page embarrassment five or 10 years ago.

So take . . . . . . take my hooommme . . .

Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today,Rush!

So, what did you have for dinner? I fried fish, and I don’t fry stuff often. 

A merry time, before the Great War. Many a scandalous eve did I spend in a telegraph office, sending ribald missives to any maidens who dared transcribe them. How rosily they blushed, I imagine, when they learned it was not my finger pressing down upon the key...

I think most people who’ve seen it would rate it somewhere in the 4-to-7-out-of-10 range. But cracks about it’s ballooning expense and “poor” (actually moderate) Box Office were heard by more people than actually saw it in 95 and that has remained it's most prominent legacy.

“Look at ME, you filth” is my personal fav

Wouldnt surprise me if its actually just a new round altogether instead of a replacement, kinda like theyve done with a few others.  Theyve added in harder versions of existing rounds and they dont replace the old ones

I thought it was pretty good other than the tone shifting a little too far to goofy when Dennis Hopper shows up. The only thing it’s really guilty of is not imagining the possibility of a hurricane occurring.
