re: Finally watched First Blood and Rambo:FB2 for the first time - solid
Posted by Ace Midnight on 4/17/24 at 12:23 pm
First Blood was an outstanding film and the original ending (Rambo dies) would have made it even better.
FB2 was good for what it was - mindless action film/Boomer revenge flick. I haven't felt it necessary to watch any of the others....

Silly, silly take.

And this was significant because of New York and California having a lot of "wasted" votes for the Dems.

Claude Akins (Sheriff Lobo) was also in Caine Mutiny, although he was credited for his role of "Horrible" while Best's LTJG Jorgenson went uncredited.
That is a great, great film. Lee Marvin (Meatball) was ...

re: What would you have done post-Cold War to prevent endless Middle East intervention?
Posted by Ace Midnight on 4/13/24 at 9:31 pm
The seeds were already sown during the Cold War. The crop was already set.
Backing secular leaders everywhere would have been smart. Picking and choosing wasn't smart. Committing to Israel (which I don't specifically disagree with) sort of set the table for where we're at today.
It is the B...

re: Glen Powell will star as the lead in Edgar Wright’s ‘Running Man' remake
Posted by Ace Midnight on 4/12/24 at 6:45 am
Any competent action lead could probably handle the lead on this one.
The key will be the villain. Richard Dawson was the perfect choice last time. I can't think of anyone who would be a great fit off the top of my head.
Rockwell, maybe?...
