maybe a little. it might also be that GBS appears to have a specific taste in movies, since entries like John Wick and Pacific Rim appear every other page. the trick is not to summarize but to recount background details

i.e.

SciFiDownBeat posted:

SciFiDownBeat posted:

here I'm not (completely) describing the actual movie plots, but deliberately emphasizing minor details and events that take place over the course of the films

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.

Nope! Though you're sort of on track for one of the other ones.

Again, these are all sci-if action movies. Additional hints (a few of them very strong):

A troubled veteran is attempting to start a new life and move past his trauma. He loses his cool and has a heated dispute with his old supervisor.

(The veteran's new life begins as part of a top-secret military project, but his war memories and the behavior of his drugged-up comrades cause him to desert).

A brand-new executive struggles to repair a company's public image. Forced to resolve internal politics and a hostile work environment; the solution becomes to exploit a group of counter-corporate activists to destroy another executive's life work.

(It wasn't directed by Ridley Scott but Ridley, Scott appears in the film.)

A rich old man on the brink of death sacrifices his entire empire in order to reconnect with his estranged family. He loses his son, and later his own life.

(When the old man dies, no one who cared about him was there to witness it.)

A family of prospectors makes a discovery that changes their town forever, but it forces their daughter to go into hiding.

(The daughter barely escaped as her hometown is destroyed in a nuclear explosion.)
