Title: It's official.
Post by: Jigster on May 15, 2001, 04:41:00 AM: Pearl Harbor is going to be another movie that might be otherwise good if it wasn't centralized around a love plot. Sigh.

Nothing ruins a good war/disaster movie more then a love plot. Why? Because money that could be used for more explosions and better historical equipment/actors and other special effects is wasted on a plot and cast developement to attract a wider audience.

I mean look what they did with Titanic! Blah!

I guess VH1 is good for something after all. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Post by: SOB on May 15, 2001, 05:33:00 AM: How about a movie that has Russians and Germans speaking English with English & American accents? Hopefully, when they show the Japanese, they'll actually be speaking Japanese!

Bah, what am I saying, I just hope there's some cool plane toejam in it! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

My wife would even go see Enemy at the Gate with me. I think she would have liked it better than I did. The best part of that movie was the Ferry boat straffing in the begining. Not on my Top 10 DVD list (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Saving Private Ryan was a mix of new-level shock value sensationlism and a marketing sucess fluke.

Yeah! Something like Tora!Tora!Tora! meets Coprock!

The sad thing is... I firmly believe there is a producer out there somewhere getting all these great ideas down on paper (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
