The bit I loved is the event which the named the darn film after took up only 15-20 mins of a 2hr film!

I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

But it has Kate Beckinsale....
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

The #1 goal of that movie was to entertain, not show historcial fact.  Take it for what it is, drink a beer, and relax.

Yeah, I watched the movie and in the back of my mind I nit-picked bits and pieces but ultimatly it wasnt that bad, it was a real spitfire/109/P40, etc that were in the air and not com CG imagage, be glad for that.  A BAR, a shotgun, a few bolt action rifles, etc are not going to bring down a fast moving zeke, etc.  LOTS of drama stuff.  But again, it is a hollywood movie, not a historical drama.       

The BoBros series if the best yet, imo, when it comes to realism and war.

No.  NO!  NO NO NO! 

That snikerdoo dragged vets out of their homes, he HIMSELF saying it was "an important historical piece, probably the most important I've ever done". 

Screw him.  Right in the arse.  Broom handle, old one.  Lots of splinters.  With smallpox, yeah, that'd be good.  What a whoopeeed fraudulent piece o garbage.

My GF at the time took me to see it, then apologised when we left. Even she said it was an abomination- doesn't know anything about history or the planes and ll that, but she went in expecting a movie about Pearl Harbor, not two pretty boy supermen boinking the same skank of a nurse and getting all worked up over it.

Granted Team America is no gem, but this part of it was great. :aok

That song is awsome, as are I think all the songs in that movie.

Also, Rebel "suckwangfest" may be the funniest term I've heard in months.  Thank you for making my Monday not suck quite as much :)

On a related note- Cthulhu, you may be happy to know that I both voted for you in the last presidential election and sport your fish on the trunk lid of my car.

Please don't eat my soul.

I live to serve, my friend :) 

Maybe grammatically a little bit off, though.  I think it should be "wangsuckfest".  I'll leave it open to interpretation.  I was pretty steamed when writing that :D

Nobody get's taken off my list. Nothing personal, just business. But I did move your name down a bit. I've got a reputation to uphold. .... you understand. :devil

So truthfully, does the new avatar kick bellybutton or what?

Avatar rocks, but you need the fish in your sig. It looks great on my Evil Black Mustang.  :rock

I need that on the back of my S2000, but most people would probably think it's just another weird Japanese aftermarket company. Then again, maybe Mugen actually was the Ancient Cosmic God of Loud Obnoxious Exhausts. ;)
