Cythereal posted:True, but that still puts Clancy head and shoulders above a lot of modern Republicans. Or his current equivalents. I was looking for some airport fiction and found James Rosone. It sounded like my sort of nonsense (near future war stuff) and of course the first twenty pages were just political fan fiction about owning the libs and rebuilding the US.

Erotic Wakes posted:The real question is if it's going to be following the canon of the book of The Shining or the film, because a lot of people are gonna be really confused when the first act prominently features the guy who Jack Torrance axe murdered still very much alive and well. They've already made a couple of movies about RVing this is the logical conclusion.

Can't wait for the Disney law commandos to undo a century of antitrust deregulation just out of spite.

Snowman_McK posted:If 9/11 and all the subsequent wars, atrocities and violations of human rights hadn't occured, True Lies is just a silly action film mostly about Arnie's marriage with the cartoon villains as cardboard cutouts with no larger implications. Or, alternately, if US films hadn't spent literally decades demonising Arabs and Muslims, True Lies wouldn't be symptomatic of an ongoing, serious problem with representation that has very sinister implications in the real world. The film itself is about as political as an episode of Transformers, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum, and it's a lot less fun now than it was in 94. Snowman_McK posted:Also, I was about 7 when I first saw it. So maybe it's just that.

A Buttery Pastry posted:You seem to be trying really hard to divorce the movie from the context in which it was made, in which it's just one in a long line of anti-Arab movies. What's political and what's not is entirely dependent on context. I specifically mentioned that line of anti-arab movies and its length, so I wasn't trying that hard.

AceOfFlames posted:I think the only 80s silly action movie I can enjoy despite having terrible politics is Demolition Man. It kind of helps that despite supposedly depicting a future where the SJW's took over meaning big and strong macho man Sly Stallone must save them from the evil Scary Black Man, it more closely resembles the religious right's vision of a perfect world with all the actual religious iconography and language somehow edited out. not to mention everything is taco bell and they hosed my friend over so I applaud Wesley Snipes blowing them all up

Basebf555 posted:Nah, they're an international coalition that pulls from the established special ops outfits and they're at least theoretically accountable for their actions. They also have to go through an official approval process to be greenlit for any particular mission. It was the Avengers of special forces. In reality putting them on a c17 everytime antifa takes over a mcdonalds is probably not the most efficient way to police the world

I'd have thought he was too tarnished now but Hollywood's Hollywood. (Isn't Kevin Spacey doing a new movie soon already, less than a year after it came out he'd assaulted a 14 year old?)

I ended up seeing Tag last night. It’s...surprisingly okay? It got a couple big laughs out of me and the action was surprisingly good stuff. The last act of the movie gets uh, really kind of dark though. It pulled me straight out of the movie and left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth afterwards.

Does Jeremy Renner turn out to be a sexual predator and the police have trouble tagging him? I legit don't know Bigger question is if it's a moviepass or a read and spoil

Taintrunner posted:I'm never gonna see it, spoilers please. In the last act of the movie Renner’s fiancé fakes a miscarriage so that he can escape the group and avoid getting tagged. They find out it was faked, go to Renner’s wedding to try and tag him, and one of the guys gets knocked out and doesn’t recover. They take him to the hospital and find out he has cancer and probably won’t survive to next year’s game. He’s been hiding it from everyone because he wanted one more big fun game with everyone before he passes. It came literally out of nowhere and I ended up sitting there afterwards going ‘Huh. That happened I guess.’ As far as the arms go, I didn’t even notice. I wasn’t really paying much attention to them so I guess that means they were pretty good?
