You're tame, lol! I'd be humming that Blue Thunder music when I was piloting a attack helicopter in a Battlefield 4 urban map!!

Wow... thanks for the ad hominem attack there bud. As if I wasn't having enough of a crappy week already with folks on other sites attacking me.

It would be way more epic with the Airwolf theme and a lot less tame.

Wow, I'm at work and can't get the full feel of the trailer, but that's nice. Some great imagery, and I have yet to seen Millie Brown do something that doesn't impress me. Something else to look forward too!

Took the family to see TROLLS: Band Together yesterday. The kids enjoyed the music and fun. My wife really loved the all the boy band references as that was more her musical taste and generation.

On a negative note we bought tickets via Fandango and the convenience fee was $8 which I think is ridiculously high and doesn't help theaters bring in audiences. Next time we'll just check seating availability and plan on purchasing the tickets at the cinema instead.

Looking forward to this. I very much like Watchmen and 300, so I'm hoping it'll be good. The action is there, I just hope it has a decent story too.

Anyone got an idea what the weapons are based on? So far I'm getting vibes of

I dunno, the thumb hole, wooden stock, and long length extending past the screen makes me think of the WA2000, but it has a mass and overall silhouette that makes me think more of a sci-fi AK.

Gives the impression of some sort of revolver.

Sci-fi Chinese meat cleavers? Probably a high-frequency blade of some sort. They always are.

Now that I get a good look at it, it seems the same gun as in Michiel Huisman's poster. From this angle it definitely looks more like just a "generic sci-fi carbine rifle."

I don't know, but it definitely looks really front-heavy and probably a pain to wield.

Another generic sci-fi rifle. For whatever reason, my mind went to the Marines' assault rifles in Aliens.

This is the most obvious so far, a barely dressed-up Kriss Vector.

So I watched Ridley Scott's Napoleon, and well....

 

You ever watch a movie that is so bad, it starts to become so unintentionally funny you start to wonder if it was done on purpose?

 

Yeah that's this film. The pacing and focus is all over the place to the point if you don't have a keen interest in the Napoleonic era you will have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on.

 

Joaquin Phoenix is miscast badly being way too old and terrible in this. He spends most of the film with a look on his face that resembles the slight discomfort of having a broomstick broken off up his ass and no way to get it out... When he's not making the "O" face spending a surprising amount of time balls deep in Josephine doggy style trying to produce an heir.

 

As for historical accuracy there really isn't much. Outside of the most broadest summary of people and places this movie showcases, liberties have been taken with damn near everything. Not in "we need to rework things for pacing issues or time constraints," but more in a "We have no idea what the hell we are doing!" sort of way.

It seems like an awful amount of 'history' to shove into two plus hours. Sounds like it would have been best to concentrate on one or two defining moments - and keep to Fact over entertaining Fiction.

And nix the sex scenes! More often than not, they are just uncomfortable and needless wastes of important minutes. (seconds.😉)

Shoving an awful amount of history into two plus hours is a massive understatement. The following literally happens over the course of 10 minutes...

Why am I suddenly imaging a clip of quick-cut scenes played to the tune of Benny Hill!?
