Someone smarter than I could probably write a lot about how Iraq War / Afghanistan War veterans crop up in American movies and TV and how that compares to Vietnam vets. Justified (a show that would almost certainly not be green lit or received well now, despite being pretty recent) had a lot of its character be veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It almost never glamorised the wars, but the soliders were treated as damaged heroes a lot of the time. Gutterson plainly has PTSD from being in “the sandbox” and jokes about it in a concerning way. Boyd Crowder doesn’t talk about Iraq much but it’s implied he had his teeth blown out and repaired. He’s a bit of a psycho who seemed to enjoy the “blowing poo poo up” factor. Colt Rhodes (what a name) has plain PTSD and a heroin addiction. He’s kinda the most tragic because he’s a “double winner” who served in both wars. They’re all pretty sad situations and the war is never explicitly condemned or supported. It’s just something in people’s past that sucks.

I watched Rocky a few years ago and the scene with Rocky and Adrian in his apartment is extremely uncomfortable. Adrian is clearly threatened, Rocky prevents her from leaving and forces the initial kiss on her. Given the rest of the movie, it isn't wholly clear if it was meant to be romantic or knowingly depicting coercion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xAlbOa06EU

SiKboy posted:I'm not sure its fair to say the guy who wrote Rocky "lucked into it". He also wrote and directed Rocky Balboa, which is a movie that totally understands why Rocky was so great. I totally thought it was gonna be weird and pointless when it was announced but it’s really, really good.

He was deafened in one ear in his youth saving a classmate after her car fell into the river so he couldn't be NYPD and they installed him as the town sheriff (it's a Long Island town that this group of cops all live in) and yeah they treat him as a joke.

Rocky IV is the one I’ve watched most recently. It still holds up as big stupid fun. And don’t watch Stallone’s director’s cut that cuts out the pauly robot romance.

Copland isn’t a perfect film by any stretch but it’s definitely one of Stalones better ones. I’m curious how it would be received in today’s environment. I don’t recall it being at all controversial at the time for its depictions of corrupt AF cops. Edit: I’m sure you could play Harvey Kitel’s monologue to a lot of real cops and they wouldn’t even get he’s supposed to be the bad guy. letthereberock has a new favorite as of 16:16 on Dec 31, 2020 |

Nowadays it'd also come across as naive because there's no way the cops would have to cover for Michael Rappaport's character killing two Black guys to the point of faking his suicide.

Anyone still watch Shameless? It’s final season started a few weeks ago, and it really fell out of everyone’s consciousness. TVIV had threads for it, but not for the previous season. I have this season’s new episodes on DVR and haven’t gotten around to watching them. The intro episode deals with the COVID, and the show’s attempts at headlines stuff have been middling at best. Last we saw Carl, he was looking to join the police, so I’m apprehensive about the blistering hot takes on that. Bad things happen to and are done by the characters, and the show basically flips a coin when deciding whether we’re supposed to take it seriously and have emotions about it, or just regard it as edgy hijinks.

Sunswipe posted:I'd say that the idea Vietnam has been secretly keeping American POWs for ten years so they can be interrorgated by devious Soviet colonels, and the American government knows about this but wants to keep it secret would be regarded as a batshit conspiracy theory today. Not sure if that's better or worse than Rambo 3 having him support the noble Mujahideen against the dastardly Soviets Ross Perot's run for president was partially based on his belief in that exact insane conspiracy theory. I wonder how many people flying one of those POW/MIA flags know that that's what the flag was originally designed to represent.

The others know what they're doing and don't care. There is the episode where he fucks a girl and reveals it was all a ploy to make the waitress jealous while calling the girl a stupid slut. He is so cruel even the gang is shocked

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:Yeah they couldn't get Ed O'Neill to reprise his role. Wasn't the next big thing for Ed O'Neill after series of failed cop shows literally a show where we basically get the version of Married with Children, where "Al" became a relatively successful local businessman instead of a failed high school athlete on a dead-end job, who in his 40's divorced his cheating ex-wife who made him miserable? Everything lines up so perfectly in Modern Family it might as well be called "MwC: The alternative dimension". The daughter is still a party girl and the son is "not so great with girlfriends". One could say, "Not the Married with Children".

I'm not a big fan of Rambo. When I was a kid my great grandma had two pets, a dog named Rambo and a cat named Sambo. She might have been racist, but that's not the point. The point is Rambo would knock my tiny child body over and proceed to hump away and I wasn't powerful enough to stop it. That's why I don't like Rambo. Anyway, the original point is RIP MF DOOM.

Yeah, I didn't know it was conspiracy theory poo poo until the last few years. The other thing is, that was in the time before DNA testing, so without any real way to identify a dead body, it just becomes an unknown soldier. There are groups that have been out in the jungles of Vietnam for the last 20 years that are identifying missing soldiers from finger bones and teeth and whatever other little amount of genetic material they can somehow find.
