re: Missing 18 year old's body found on Horn Island - and ridiculous reactions.

when you are a racist, everything looks like racism.
i went back and read QJenk's posts on this thread, and to be fair, he has been very clear that he doesnt think there was any foul play and he hasnt said anything outright about race being a factor here. i think a lot of people, including myself, were/are assuming that there is a racial component being implied in his posts. maybe there is, but he hasnt said that outright, and we arent mind readers.

My position is that he more than likely drowned somehow. I do not suspect foul play.
I only questioned if his friends were truly his real friends. This isnt an indictment on them at all. I would say it's very common amongst young people. They are friends moreso due to proximity. Ie they live in the same neighborhood, rode the same bus, play football together, etc. But when it comes to genuinely caring for each other and having each other's best interest at heart, that's not the case.
so all of this back and forth and arguing for pages and pages and everything is solely because you think these guys were bad friends?

This is all ridiculous and shows how stupid some in our society are.
There were hundreds of people present when these boys left due to a mechanical issue on their boat.
He was with others when they left.
How in the world did these boys end up causing harm to him when they were gone and he was with others?
because they watch movies like Get Out and think "it's really like that"
the scene in the phantom zone where she was all wet and dirty has been ingrained in my mind lo these 40 years.

This very well could have happened, but it is not what I heard, and is not the context of what I was discussing.
just for the record, is it your position that there was foul play here? and if so, what do you think happened?

Yes, I've been on multiple Spring Break trips. Heck, in college we used to routinely visit other cities or other colleges just for the purpose of partying and meeting girls. But what you described is not how we operated at all.
i'm not saying you're lying, but i will say that if you are telling the truth, you are an anomaly as far as the behavior of male college kids goes. i applaud your responsible behavior.

Was anybody else alive in the 1980s when a Supergirl movie was made? It bombed then too. Nobody is interested in a Supergirl movie.
watching Helen Slater play Supergirl on a VHS that my mom rented from Randall's by my house is probably my very earliest and first memory of seeing a woman and being like "whoa, i am definitely into whatever this is".

No, but I still never know if I’m watching a movie with bill paxton or bill pullman. They don’t look alike, but their names are interchangeable to me for some reason
this is inexcusable.

the collection of outright made up stories that the collective black internet has been posting lately, first with Karmelo Anthony and now this, is absolutely bonkers. it's such the social justice version of fan-fiction. they see a headline and then ouright invent a story to go along with it that matches their skewed worldview and grievance agenda, and then just run with it as if the thing they just made up is a fact. and then other people read these fan-fics and repeat them as facts, while making up new and insane correlating facts. and it's ALL just complete fiction. and they all KNOW it's made up, and they all STILL act like it's not. it's nuts.
i've never seen anythign like this on the internet, even through George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, and all that.

And you have to love what Obsession might mean for the industry. An overhaul of the creative process. Big studios with bloated management, CGI, and ballooning budgets have been producing terrible movies.
They will just double their efforts. And five years from now we’ll be saying the same things.
re: I never saw The Hurt Locker because I had the whole movie spoiled for me.

Yeah and Suits/Better Call Saul aren't real depictions of being a lawyer, Grey's Anatomy isn't a real depiction of being a doctor, yada yada yada If you made a movie about the real life goings-on of an EOD tech, it would be boring as frick. Just like any other movie that would attempt a hyper realistic depiction of XYZ job. If they made a movie about the average deployment in Iraq/Afghanistan, it would be 2 hours of dudes playing cards, working out, watching movies, and jerking off in portacans at the FOB It's a competently made movie with some great moments. It certainly has some preposterous shite like the Barrett scene, but there were memorable characters and lots of parts that stuck with me. The grocery store scene at the end is so damn good - think how many guys feel that way after coming home. If accuracy is the most important thing for someone wanting to watch a military movie, Warfare is what you want to watch.
i get what you're saying and i mostly agree, but the problem is that a lot of those military movies that came out during the peak of the GWOT were hyped up for their realism and were treated as some sort of insight and commentary on the wars. it's not like a military movie like Predator or soemthing which is clearly JUST designed for entertainment. Hurt Locker in particular was raved about as being hyper realistic, and it just isnt.
a movie that captures the combat deployment vibe pretty well is Jarhead. Warfare as you mentioned is another. Someone else mentioned Generation Kill which is also pretty accurate (with some glarding errors)

For those of us that didn't go to Iraq, care to expand on some of the absurdities? I have 0 doubt there are absurdities, but I'm always curious what battlefield life is actually like.
it's been years since i saw it, but the thing that sticks out in my memory was a scene where Renner is out by himself running around in the town for some reason. that is unrealistic to an absurd level.
quote:
It's probably entertaining enough if you don't know much about the military. It's not a bad movie but it's laughably inaccurate when it comes to portraying what it's like.
and at the time it was heralded as this super accurate War on Terror film. i remember watching it as a lieutenant, even before i went on my first ME deployment, and thinking "no way it's like this". turns out i was right.
that said, a lot of it was filmed at the JTC in Jordan and does a pretty good job of capturing the overall feel of the middle east and Iraq, so that was cool.

The store replaced most of their rentals with Top Gun. Every wall was basically covered ceiling to floor with it. The line out the door was impressive
the excitement and hype around major movies being released for purchase and rental on VHS is an experience from a bygone area that i'm so sad my children will never be able to experience.
this experience peaked for me with Jurassic Park. the day it released i was babysitting some kids down the street and my mom brought it over to me to watch after they were in bed. i was so excited. remember that like it was yesterday.

what? he's a great actor and also the lead singer of Crucifictorious. dude has amazing abilities across the entertainment spectrum.
Is it just the vintage / nostalgia factor? I can’t imagine why else anyone would choose to watch VHS these days
Until this thread I had no idea this was a thing or that there was any kind of market for this
