Re: The Great Movie Thread
Mark Thatcher was a hero. Teodoro Obiang Nguema has the most brutal regime in Africa. Equatorial Guinea is a pretty hellish country. Just because Mann and Thatcher wanted to give it the Forsythe treatment doesn't mean they are bad dudes. They were liberating those Africans. I heard they were even bringing bibles to help the civilizing process. No good deed goes unpunished. Well, at least the brutal dictator still gets to tyrannize that oil rich speck on the map and have tea with the queen. Whatevs. Would have been cool to see some good actually done in this world.

Stallone said,
he’s perfect (Lundgren)… This is what I would imagine they(USSR) would create as an athlete — someone who is literally perfect. Indestructible. Shoulders, calves, forearms, giant butt, neck, back, everything.”
The actor also recounted the time that Lundgren nearly killed him during the filming of their big fight scene in the film. “He hit me so hard he almost stopped my heart,” he said. “I told him, ‘Why don’t we just do it? Just try to knock me out. Really cut loose as hard as you can.’ That was a really stupid thing to say. Next thing I know, I’m on a low altitude plane to the emergency room, and I’m in intensive care for four days. And there are all these nuns around.”

Re: The Great Movie Thread
Action porn. Kid (21) enjoyed it but I would have rather ate the 10 dollar entry fee. But I fault my inability to suspend reality, even a tiny bit, for the last 10+ years. I usually take a heavy sweatshirt or a pillow hoping for an empty theater, so I can fall asleep across three empty chairs, during these sorts of "blockbusters."GloryofGreece wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:47 pmJohn Wick 3 , anyone?

It was most likely the last movie that I will see in a theater for my foreseeable future. Fuck em all. "You two go." The money spent is a waste from my point of view.
Unbelievable action porn is what I classify this movie as.

Looks like another big year for war propaganda.
