Just putting that there in case anybody else has never heard of Plainfield, New Jersey and thinks he's talking about playing fields or something. You probably made this mistake not because you've never heard of Plainfield, New Jersey, but because you're an idiot.

I think he's just saying that that's clearly what he says, Plainfield is the name of a town (every state has one probably) and New Jersey is the name of a state.

Idiot.

Im not sure if it can be helped.. but the problem is that Bruce Willis just doesnt look like John Maclane anymore.. I know how silly that sounds but Bruce Willis is just much stockier now and with a shaven head I cant really suspend my disbelief that he is trying to play a character here. If he had grown his hair back in and lost a bit of weight... i dunno. The trailer did look pretty good though, lets hope the movie delivers.

This looks like it could have been an awesome movie in the hands of a different director- something about slow-motion gunplay and gangster film doesn't sit well with me. Aside from the fun costuming, it doesn't look like it's very appropriately stylized. That said, the cast is too stacked for me not to see it. Here's hoping.

I was an outspoken opponent of Zero Dark Thirty when the teaser was posted in this thread, but I have to concede that this new trailer makes it look full of potential https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXkccpnoetw It's no secret that Kathryn Bigelow is wonderful at the technical aspects of film-making, but I hope she can drive home a really compelling story this time too.

It should be an enjoyable movie that hopefully nobody makes the mistake of thinking represents what really occurred. Hurt Locker was a very well-made movie with absolutely no military realism whatsover. That's fine when dramatizing a fictional character's life, but if she's filming around real events then she needs to fess up about the liberties she's taking.

I remember reading somewhere that Zero Dark Thirty is actually about the first(of many?) failed attempts at catching Bin Laden. I really hope that ends up being the case.

I'm just saying I hope no EOD danger junkies that are also crack snipers who hunt terrorists by themselves (when they magically find them two blocks from the bombing) manage to find their way into this movie and she's, you know, actually hired a military advisor of some sort. I like Bigelow. She does good work, and I'm looking forward to this. All I'm saying is I hope she realizes she shouldn't soap opera the poo poo out of the characters in this one.

It's not making things extremely dramatic in general that's the problem, it's making everything extremely dramatic when it doesn't need to be. Bigelow's made this work before (Point Break) but also had it fall very, very flat (Hurt Locker).

When's the last time you saw someone having a right go at David Lean for the ending of The Bridge on the River Kwai? Or any old well-regarded war movie, really like Zulu. The titular bridge in The Bridge on the River Kwai not only was not blown up, it was in use for a couple of decades after the war. Similarly in Zulu, there was no attack at dawn on the 23rd of January, 1873 like in the film and there certainly was no defiant rendition of Men of Harlech. The inaccuracy those films are given a pass, but The Hurt Locker is taken to task because of inaccuracies and to me, that represents a significant double standard. That's probably enough of this derail anyway. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Oct 13, 2012 |

The inaccuracy those films are given a pass, but The Hurt Locker is taken to task because of inaccuracies and to me, that represents a significant double standard. That's a pretty interesting question actually. I think it's because of the tension between the film's gritty, realistic presentation and its underlying action movie ruleset. Renner's character is a Lethal Weapon-style action hero situated in a believably realized depiction of a real war. That's one of the most interesting things about the movie for me. Actual veterans seem to be the group that's hardest on Hurt Locker. I think that's partly because the military just naturally transforms people into scoffing pedants (no offense to anyone), but maybe it's also because the movie gives the appearance of being something that will 'get it right' only to submerge itself in cliches and tropes. For me the things that jar the most aren't the inaccuracies, it's the cliches - like the adorable soccer-loving Lil Pepe character. But these are the things that make the movie fascinating as well. I think the film I would most readily compare it to is Michael Mann's Heat. There's some strong thematic parallels, but that's for another post. Heat is known (and loved) for the ways in which it differs from a typical action movie, Hurt Locker for the ways in which it's similar, but both films are ultimately unrealistic. Heat pays lip service to procedure in order to justify outlandish outcomes. Hurt Locker apparently fudges when it comes procedure, but the filmmaking is so confident and bravura that I would never have known had it not been pointed out to me by the internet. (For what it's worth I think some of the unrealistic elements of Kwai don't do it any favors, but I'm not the film's biggest fan. When we first meet William Holden's character, he's barrel chested and hale with a little bit of scruff - it's a pretty comical vision of a POW.)

From the latest Zero Dark Thirty trailer I'm getting the feeling this will be told from the female CIA character's viewpoint. In the book No Easy Day she's identified as "Jane" and she's supposedly the one that figures out that OBL is in Abbatobad. If this is the case I'm actually excited for this movie since I've already read the raid from a DEVGRU's point of view.
