RE: OT: Greyhound movie
Oh, Chickenboy. The graphics. The graphics. Oh, the humanity!
Tom Hanks is such a great actor. I think he produced or directed this. I wish he had insisted upon realism and hadn't settled for anything less. Oh, for something like D-Day in Saving Private Ryan or Dunkirk in Dunkirk.
In twenty years (if the world still exists), movie audiences will look back on this era of movie-making special effects with horror, as we who grew up in the '70s look back on leisure suits and bell bottoms.
Oh, the humanity.

I like bell bottoms. My female companion likes the wide pants legs when I wear them, so likes to go up there . . . [8|]

Sorry, Canoerebel, but yer gonna have to wake up and smell the graphics chips. They won't be doing any WWII movies with anything remotely approaching period specific equipment on this scale again...EVER. I'm afraid those days are long gone.
Yeah, the world will still exist in 20 years. Mutated by COVID 20-39, humanity will be enslaved by the CHUD however. I, for one, welcome our new CHUD overlords! [&o]

a pity Tom Hanks didn't pick "The Cruel Sea"

? I still love the original King Kong. It's only slightly better than my outing with Kirk, though.

Well, I can understand why. He's big and exotic and muscular, dark and mysterious. I imagine that you'd not be the first Gorn to have such feelings for a big monkey.

Talk about being unaware of cinema's great classics...[8|] Cannibalistic. Humanoid. Underground. Dwellers.

RE: OT: Greyhound movie
Not going to pay for this type of BS in any format.
Are there children now working as studio executives?
Or maybe they view the large audience as having the attention span and general interests of small children?
This might be a real possibility, it would in turn open up interesting speculations about the future of our societies as a whole.
Seems the genre is "war horror", evil nazis taunting from the radio and sneak attacking with their U-boats in evil nazi warpaint.
Unbelievable.
