Of course DePalma ignores the facts that these men have received punishments that would be decried as excessive by just about any Western European nation and the majority of his Hollywood fellow travelers: five years for the least culpable, 110 years f…

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

I remembered the movie, but I keep mixing it up with full metal jacket.

“They call him the Sand Spider”.
“Why?”
“Probably because it sounds scarey.”

“She even took the ice cube trays outta the freezer. What kind of sick b*tch takes the ice cube trays outta the freezer?”

“Have you ever killed anyone?”
“Yeah but they were all bad.”

True Lies 2. You know you want it. I want it. And it’s the very best possible use of Ah-nuld’s time.

Theo Van Gogh actually took one for the team. Not that any of them actually gives a #$*&.

Well bully for you.

MUTHA F&CKER

I thought you said Murtha…

sheesh, no thanks

Redacted features a recycled plot?

It’s actually a typo…the film was supposed to be called Re-acted.

And it’s not the first time for DePalma, who has a serial obsession with defaming U.S. troops as rapists and wrongdoers in all wars. From JoBlo.com:

According to Production Weekly, Brian De Palma’s follow-up to the loved by few, not really liked by many BLACK DAHLIA is going to be REDACTED, a war drama based on the recent events surrounding the rape and murder of a 14-year old Iraqi girl and the killing of three of her family members by four US soldiers. Oddly enough, this will be the second De Palma movie to deal with such a thing; his CASUALTIES OF WAR [DS: starring--surprise!--Sean "Spicoli" Penn] centered around five U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War, four of whom kidnap and rape a young villager.

On the earlier bog, I wrote:

Casualties of War = Redacted

Savage American Soldiers rape an innocent Vietnamese Iraqi teenage girl.

Of course, even at that hour my observation was not the first to make the connection.

I think everybody has made this point before about the two films being the same with different scenery. De Palma is a joke, and Cuban is twice as lucky as he is stupid.

Where’d you dig up that Zod imagecap?

Brian De Palma also had the Black Dahlia. Freaky sex/rape scene in that, too.

Think it safe to say, Brian’s a dirty ol’ perv.

And yeah, that story of Mens’ preferences was shocking!

There was one pro-Army movie made during the W Admin: “The Great Raid”. It was ok, but nuttin’ to get all dressed up in your cammies for … uh, not that I DO that or anything, um, but I’ve HEARD of other people doin’ it!

(clearly a Pub, however, the real prez was Klinton, totaly makin’ your point).

It’s easy to make a good point when the subject matter is so flippin’ obvious.

Yo, I dunno man, if Hillary wins, it might become ILLEGAL to make pro-military movies … I say that only HALF jokingly. Also, to add to your list: ID4. The Prez is a fighter pilot (clearly a Pub, however, the real prez was Klinton, totaly makin’ your point).

Profit, I gotta check that book out. Any waterbordering? :-) Another good one is “On Call In Hell”.

Tony they made a movie with Denzil Washington and Meg Ryan,
I can’t remember the title,it was about friendly fire.
The M1-A1 abrams accidently fired on their own tanks.
That was there attempt at a Gulf War movie.
I think they tried to portray the United States military
as lying and covering up the truth(not my words)in the movie.

And I commend you for that. You’re still getting 1/2 Ahoy.

Face it fellas, the BEST movie that Hollywood could produce would be ANY movie that tells the “other side” … y’know, the side where we’re the good guys.

BTW- I don’t remember sayibg anything about Famous Amos…

I was angling for an upgrade.

2% organic okay?

“The Interrogators: the Secret War Against Al-Qaeda” by ‘Chris Mackey’ would make a decent flick, too.
