Hot damn, Deads. It never grows old.
Guess what I found on youtube last week:
Hot damn, Deads. It never grows old.
Don't press play. I was looking at old WWI's docs and this movie was linked on the sidebar. As soon as I heard the opening music (and then Richard Burton's narration) I knew I'd be there for 2 hour watching the whole damn thing
Haven't messed with you in a while and you still can't recover tbh. Tsk tsk.
that must be like porn for you, all those blacks getting shot down en masse. I haven't seen it or Zulu Dawn in a long time, since as a kid and I don't remember either. my brother was always into the war movies.Don't press play.

I FF to the triple redoubt part. tee, hee.Don't press play. I was looking at old WWI's docs and this movie was linked on the sidebar. As soon as I heard the opening music (and then Richard Burton's narration) I knew I'd be there for 2 hour watching the whole damn thing
What a strategy it was!
The uppityness of Caine's character transforming into the warrior that led those redoubt repels with Chard was fantastic cinema.
I believe Dawn is a prequel IIRC, which nowadays there are tons of prequels. I like war movies but not like my brother, he just loves anything with uniformity, Nazis, stormtroopers from Star Wars etc... I find a lot of the war films aren't as well directed as I like. And then you have Saving Private Ryan, which has some of the greatest, most virtuosic filmmaking I've ever experienced, but the story is so stupid I just skip from the beginning to the end battle every time.

My favorite aspect of Patton was the music and the eerie silence whenever George C Scott was by himself. That's another film I haven't seen in a long time.
Most war films are disappointing...Saving Private Ryan blew its wad after the Omaha Beach landing--all down hill from there. The Thin Red Line was so over the top with the incessant inner monologue that it ruined it for me. Pearl Harbor is cinematic AIDS (which Bay loves to spread in Hollywood). That's why I love war docs much better. Life is stranger than fiction.
One film I might suggest is A Very Long Engagement (2004)...it's a French WWI film and a romantic mystery. Probably a top 5 film for me. The story ropes you in and the cuts to the war scenes are graphically violent and accurate.
Yep, and the way early on they declare their rank and there is no backbiting or resentment. Just instant assumption of position. The height of civilization.

I like Thin Red Line because I'ma Malick fan, and the Criterion bluray looks amazing. That being said he's gone overboard with the inner monologues, he was a little more restrained early on. I saw Pearl Harbor with my cousins and we couldn't stop laughing in the theater, we weren't trying to be rude but people got pissed. I don't know how people can take that seriously. Alec Baldwin is on another level with the hilarity in that one.
I'll try to check out Engagement, I respect Jeunet and have heard about it. I have a huge thing for Audrey Tautou and believe she is in that. I'll take your recommendation on that one.
Chard: Let's get one thing straight Bromhead. What's the date o your commission?
Bromhead: Well let me guess ol' boy, you have seniority? 1872, May.
Chard: 1872. February.
Beautiful
Audrey plays the lead. Marion Cotillard is smokin' hot and she's in it too. It's a film that'll stick with you. Just love everything about it.
Knicks might have a one up there on them
Nice spin attempt.Knicks might have a one up there on them
Attempt was a direct hit sir...........
Direct hit on who?
Its nice seen you chase your own tail.
calling out that putrid fanbase for a while too
ref is a little part of it tbh...
they overall suck, never seen such crying babies, whinning, spoiled fanbase ever worst being dat international nazionalist fanbase...
I wish the best for the franchise tho, Duncan is the man, I'd give my mom to have pop on my team...
DD knows his classics !
You take all the Jeunet movies, won't be disapointed dude has a je ne sais quoi vey French and yet subtle except his alien movie stuff never understood dat one. Delicatessen, Amelie, city of lost children... all very pecular and interesting movies
