re: Sat right beside Jim Chaney in theatre

When he went for popcorn he got in the middle line even though it had the most people as opposed to the open station far right

Depending on what "type" of Libertarian, it could make him a better conservative than most, a better liberal than most, or at worst a douchey idealist who makes sure that you're aware of it... based on the comments you quoted I'd lean towards either of the first 2...

This is the dumbest shite ever... no one is "pro-abortion"... I mean frick all babies and the human race right?

-Is for same sex marriage

Government should never have been in the business of authorizing marriages... if they'd stayed out of that, then individual churches would have been able to determine what is and isn't a valid marriage. Personally, I'm not certain why it rankles so many ultra conservatives what 2 dudes or 2 chicks call their relationship... it literally has zero impact on your life unless you make it about you.

-Is for gun control

define this "gun control"... I think in 2018 based on the number of school shootings we've had in the last 20 years alone, it's clear that "thoughts and prayers" aren't doing a fricking thing... I don't think I've ever heard Eastwood say anything about "taking away our guns" in a positive tone, so context might be relevant here.

-Is against war

Uh... if you're "pro-life" how the frick are you not also "against war"... not wanting to throw away lives in a worldwide policing game that we're seemingly determined to remain involved hardly seems "un-American"...


Haven't seen the movie... likely won't until it makes its way around to DVD as I just don't care that much, but this is just strange logic for trashing it. The part about the "actors" is a fair criticism, and ultimately it's a big part of why the movie was panned both by critics (21% on RT) and audiences (47% audience score) alike. But... to be fair, most action/drama flicks score pretty poorly anyways... people want more out of them than is there in many cases.

How was the acting? That’s my biggest concern with movies like that. Act of Valor comes to mind. Action sequences were good but dialogue was poor. Is this along those lines?

If you and your buddies hung out you wouldn't expect them to start acting like they are Hollywood stars right?

Hollywood stars don't normally act like or play Hollywood stars in their roles.

I'm sure they acted just as they would have in real life, nothing special.

Yes, but can they act. Were they able to deliver lines someone else wrote while also convey genuine emotion?

Im just fricking sad now. I need to find a vitamin D pill.
