misaltas 0 #27 May 25, 2008 Quote My bad... must be thinking of some other crap films - sorry Jerremy Irons in Lion King... he said clutching at straws Uncle Scar? I'm pretty sure the cat was African, not English. Here are a couple of straws though: Braveheart The Patriot (What does drunk Mel have against englishmen anyway...) My guess? To the big american movie audience, english accents imply intelligence. Smart villains make good villains.Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cloudseeker2001 0 #29 May 25, 2008 Quote Quote Who? The Russians?? Aw fuck 'em. Thank you. You're definitely making a good example of why so many people around the world are so concerned about America and Americans. Quote I don't remember them complaining about the Rambo movies. Did they? Yes. In fact, 2nd and 3rd parts of "Rambo" was banned from USSR. And the reason you don't "remember" it is probably that nobody wrote about it on dropzone.com :P "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgerussia 0 #30 May 25, 2008 Quote Why not? That is a similar attitude towards America these days. Well, I could now say that it is somehow justified. Quote It's a damn movie, get over it. I'm not commenting the movie itself, it's not worth it. I'm commenting the "who? they don't like it? fuck them" attitude shown by some fellow skydivers.

ElJosh 0 #31 May 26, 2008 I totally agree with you but like I said it's a movie and people shouldn't get their panties all wadded up. I respect almost every skydiver I have ever met. If they don't like something that I am doing (this excludes unsafe acts) fuck 'em. I don't need their approval if I want to write a song about killing the poor or kickin’ commie ass. Make sense. It's not so much of a fuck you as it's a “who the fuck cares?” EFS Bra! (cuz that’s what really matters) ~El Josh AKA RubyDS #149 Yes I only have 3 jumps...it's the magic number dude.

georgerussia 0 #33 May 26, 2008 Quote I totally agree with you but like I said it's a movie and people shouldn't get their panties all wadded up. Well, it could be said this way - it's just a movie, and they shouldn't care because I don't care. Then I don't understand all the fuss about Qur'an shooting - after all, it's just a book, and I don't care about it. Same if someone peed on crucifix, and uploaded it to the Internet - that's just a movie, right? Quote I respect almost every skydiver I have ever met.

ElJosh 0 #34 May 26, 2008 QuoteThus you're only respecting those skydivers who like everything you're doing (otherwise fuck 'em). No because there are skydivers that I do respect and actually spend a lot of my free time with. ie dining out, drinking... I don't agree with what they may be doing in their life, their religion, political opinions, sexual orientation, ect. I don't really care one way or another.

Red Dawn, otoh, will live forever in the collection of Cold War films. So yeah, fuck any commies who think that there is anything to complain about here.

pirana 0 #40 May 27, 2008 Quote Quote So . . . . Red Dawn. I assume that is a bad movie too? Yes that is/was a VERY VERY Bad movieCRAP actually Oh come on! That was so incredibly, . . . uh, . . . moving. That's it. It was incredibly moving when the Cuban Communist Advisor Mercenary guy let the 1 brave young patriot haul away his dying brave young patriot brother. You could just see how he saw so much of himself as a young political idealist and how it just caused him so much internal turmoil; to the point of causing him to ponder not only his own roll, but the grand issue of what any of them really stood for other than the freedom to act out for their cause.
