Flags of our Fathers / Letters from Iwo Jima

[darien87]

Based on your response, I'm guessing you're on pins and needles hoping for Clint to create a Pro-Hitler motion picture to honor and glorify Nazi war efforts on the big screen

If he can do it for WWII Japan, why not Hitler too?

Yep. Can't wait for that one. Hold on a minute, I've gotta go trim up my Hitler mustache.

You're an idiot dude. So no American EVER committed a war crime, and EVERYBODY we ever fought against was obviously evil? As John said, Letters wasn't made to "glorify" the Japanese, it was made to show that on either side of a war, people are pretty much the same. What the truth is, depends on your point of view. As many people have said, history is written by the winners.

Get your head out of your *** and try putting yourself in someone else's shoes once in a while.

I'm surprised you're so "Anti- Clint". I mean he's made all those great Westerns and Dirty Harry movies, where he blows away tons of people and "glorifies" the fun of gun use. I'll bet it's just killing you that someone that seems to be so pro-gun could actually have an open mind.

It takes a very special person to equate moral equivalence of the American war effort in WW2 to that of Hitler and Japan. Im sure you can get away with that faulty line of thinking with your SanFran friends, but you wont here. A person must really hate and despise his own country to equate the Nazi and Japanese human rights record to the morality of the USA.

PS.... as always, lefties are incapable of entering into a discussion without name calling.
That's so typical, that it is to be expected.

You know me soooo well dude. I HATE my own country all right. I hate it so much that I served in the Army, defending your right to be stupid. It takes a very special person to be as close-minded as you are. Things aren't always black and white. Just entertain the idea that maybe you aren't right all the time and that maybe someone else can have a different point of view and be right also. I find it hilarious that there are people like you walking around that are happier than a pig in slop to wallow around in their own ignorance.

Excuse me, I have to get back to burning American flags.

Everyone has an opinion, that doesn't mean that YOUR opinion has to be that of everyone else. Where we live doesn't mean a damn thing... that is the kind of thing wars are fought over.

I think Clint...... not Clint DeBoer, I know he is from Florida but Clint Eastwood actor/director is planning to make a very highly fictionous sports movie. Its about the Buckeyes finally beats Florida Gators in NCAA Basketball championship and college football.

 

[billnchristy]

Buckeye,

You do realize the mfr. of your TV built the Zeros that blew the ever loving hell out of Peal Harbor right?

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

Yea, yea, yea darien....... I've heard it all before.


Not only are conservatives closed minded because we disagree with LIBs on the issues, but we're also racists because we disagree with libs on their Pro-illegal alien open borders amnesty position. We're all homophobes because we disagree with libs on gay marriage, and we lack compassion for denying socialist health care to every man woman and child who sneaks inside our borders. We're also crazy bible thumping loonies because we disagree with the pro-abortion on demand democrats on the issue of abortion. Not to mention, we favor rich people because we attempt to created as positive as possible..... an economic environment to entice entrepreneurs to risk their own capital to create and build things so that our economy might thrive, and it's citizens find gainful employment.

The left never adds any real substance to any discussion. Instead, they pull a "Rosie" by attacking and name calling towards anyone who might dare to disagree with their precious liberal position. Do they offer substance to support their position??? Of course not!!
That's because liberal positions are based in emotion...............not reason.

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

I think Clint...... not Clint DeBoer, I know he is from Florida

I always thought he was born and raised in SanFran.

What are you trying to say? Are you trying to make excuses for dariens personal attacks? If anything, I apologize to you for getting stuck in the middle between myself and dariens baseless attacks.

Darien should be apologizing to both you........ and MikeC for the big mess he created in his thread!!

 

[darien87]

Not only are conservatives closed minded, but we're also racists We're all homophobes and we lack compassion . We're also crazy bible thumping loonies

Hey, I finally agree with you on something.

And when you're going to say something with "substance", you let me know. I'll be sure to pay attention. But don't even profess to know me bud, because all your cliches and sterotypes don't come close to describing me or my beliefs.

I'm the one that made a mess of this thread!?!?! You're the one that started throwing around the racist comments on the first page. You also accused me of being a Nazi sypmathizer. That's a pretty crazy assumption to make about someone that you don't even know. But judging by your posts, sweeping generalizations are what you're comfortable with. Better check yourself dude.

 

[j_garcia]

I wasn't appologizing for anything, I was saying that everyone has one...opinions that is...and no two are alike. You might also find it interesting that not all Californians are tree hugging, death penalty fighting, hemp wearing hippies.

Clint was born in SF, and now resides in Carmel (is he still Mayor?)

Going down............down down down............down down.

 

[mike c]

[billnchristy]

Careful. You might get accused of being a commie.

 

[ziggster]

maybe we can agree to disagree?? Isn't that the beauty of this country after all?

 

[KevInCinci]

Different versions/different sound?

Anyone know if any versions of "Flags of Our Fathers" (regular DVD) have enhanced sound, like DTS? I'm going to pick up a copy for a war-movie weekend and was looking for the best versions to show off my system for my buddies.

Cheers,

Kevin

 

[j_garcia]

You can find out what audio tracks are available on IMDB - DVD Details. Flags had DD 5.1 only, and probably isn't the best in the way of war movies. If you want to show off, find the DTS version of Saving Private Ryan.

 

[KevInCinci]

I have the DTS Pvt Ryan (which is my standard for showing off audio) and the Bitstream of Blackhawk Down in my collection. I was going to show the latter since everyone's already seen the former. We were also going to do Flags & Letters together, both of which I realize aren't typical war movies (throw in Thin Red Line and you've got a really unusual mix, eh?), but our little group has mostly military history buffs who've been to battlefields, read the books, etc., rather than are just looking for big explosions. But I figured if we're going to watch the stuff, I might as give them the best show possible.

Cheers,

Kevin
