^Sorry, Dill. No plans to watch it.

[Dillinger]

^ Why?

Put all the politics aside, it's a great movie IMHO

[Davis Knowlton]

^I've yet to find an Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, generic raghead movie that interested me. I tried a few, but generally found them to be shit.

Will this sway you.....

For the movie I gave it an 8. That's based on 32 years of military service, 7 combat tours (3 in Iraq) and working with the likes of the characters in the movie.

Sorry for those who's lives were so well protected that they've never been exposed to the likes of us but, that's how we talk and act. It's a type-A environment and we use it to protect ourselves and motivate our brothers in arms.

I am well versed on the facts as provided by the MSM however, as someone in the biz I also know that the fly in the ointment are the facts.

1. The firing of mortars is an art and the mortar launcher has to be anchored to the ground or every mortar will land off target. The mortars landing on the CIA compound are dead accurate and also require spotters to assist with any corrections.

2. Aviano AB, Italy is about 2-hours away. Had they been launched, even if only to do a low fly-by, would have driven off the attackers; just like I used them in Iraq in Mosul, Tikrit, and Baghdad. I don't know why the Commander of the 555 (Triple Nickel) didn't launch. It's one of the big questions that remain unanswered by the media or the movie.

3. Hillary's statement that, "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?" was a red herring. Because it was neither. As later testimony bore out, it was a planned, coordinated, terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11.

4. All UAS aircraft are armed. As stated in the movie could have assisted in the defense of the embassy or the CIA compound.

5. General Ham, AfricaCom CC is someone I worked with in Mosul in 2004 for 6-months. Good guy and I know from my experience he would not hesitate to act if allowed. One day he'll give an interview and get his whole story. Can't wait...

^Not really. Just doesn't interest me.

I guess that could be Rick Thai

^I tried to watch that bomb disposal movie a year or two ago, but it was full of technical errors. I tried to watch the sniper movie, but turned it off when he started chatting with his wife on his cell in the middle of a firefight. "I Was There - And A Hero" movies bore me.

It's a Michael Bay film so it's not really aiming to interest you - its target is a lot lower in your mental functions than that. But if you can ignore the film's pretty horrible message (every American who isn't a mercenary is a fucking pussy, especially anyone who went to university, the government is run by traitors and Arabs are all psychos or fuckwits) and if you like films which involve lots of people getting shot, it's a perfectly good example of its type.

Well, then you've made the right decision not to watch it.

[Davis Knowlton]

^^No idea who Michael Bay is, but it sounds like an excellent film to ignore.

USA! USA! USA! shit totally bores me.

I've yet to find an Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, generic raghead movie that interested me. I tried a few, but generally found them to be shit.

It's a documentary, not a Hollywood fantasy, but if you haven't seen it, I recommend Restrepo.

I watched it...only because it was my nephew's unit and operational area.

Oh yeah, I'm sure you gave Tropic Thunder the thumbs up on this thread somewhere

Political bollocks and nothing else.

....according to the CIA officer in charge of the American intelligence agency’s top-secret Benghazi facility that night, one of the most important moments of the film is entirely wrong.

“There never was a stand-down order,” the officer – the former chief of the so-called Annex who identified himself as ‘Bob’ – told the Washington Post. “At no time did I ever second-guess that the team would depart.”

Guess I owe you some blobs. Don't know how/why I would have said it was funny, as I watched less than two minutes of it.

Disappointed and not what I expected. I thought that they would try to bit a bit different from Clackson and team but it appears to me that they are exactly the same. The “new” show follows the original format to the tee, from the introduction with the classic Tonight!, the way Evens talks and reacts while doing his cars reviews, the “games” they play and all the way to “some say”; it basically a skinny fuckwit Clackson hosting the old show. The puns suck, fall flat and are overused.

The bloke from Friends did okay, Sabine was overly scripted, the two guests were tolerable but were there only to promote their own shows.

I’ll keep watching a few more episodes but I am keen to see what Clarkson, May and Hammond produce with their Amazon show.

Quite enjoyed "Marcella", an 8 part series that aired recently on the UK's ITV. Essentially a police drama that features quite a number of sub plots that come together as the episodes progress. I felt it had a 'Scandi' feel to the production, then found out that the writer/Producer is Hans Rosenfeldt, the Swedish creator of "The Bridge".

All 8 available from EZTV, first one here: https://eztv.ag/ep/145794/marcella-s...-x264-organic/
