February 27, 201213 yr Saw this quote on Facebook saw the movie "Act of Valor" this weekend. Good movie! The SEALS did a much better job as actors than most actors do as action heroes.
February 27, 201213 yr So To Speak. Just make sure to put down a towel first. There's no so to speak about it. Get a clue. Pretty cool that this started out as a recruitment video/documentary and then morphed into it's current form. Wow, I didn't know that. Also, the interrogation scene was awesome and hilarious at the same time. 2 "Crisco"
February 27, 201213 yr It was pretty nice to watch a military movie that didn't make me cringe at all the interactions between military members or have me picking holes in every little detail because it didn't make sense, even if the acting was pretty bad in a few places. Also, the interrogation scene was awesome and hilarious at the same time. Takes a lot of talent to play good cop/bad cop all by yourself.
February 27, 201213 yr There's no so to speak about it. Get a clue. I think it's perfectly valid to be immature enough to still chuckle at "squirters" being used in a normal, serious conversation.
February 27, 201213 yr I think it's perfectly valid to be immature enough to still chuckle at "squirters" being used in a normal, serious conversation. Think what you want. I guess some dude/chick/cadet/whatever giggling about a normal and serious conversation about killing people caught me off guard. Good movie nonetheless.
February 27, 201213 yr Think what you want. I guess some dude/chick/cadet/whatever giggling about a normal and serious conversation about killing people caught me off guard. Come on..."Holy crap, I've got about 5-6 guys squirting in every direction!" It's gotta make ya laugh just a little bit...even if you end up killing them all after the fact. Despite the 31% on rottentomatoes.com, will definitely be adding Act of Valor to my "to see" list.
February 27, 201213 yr It's gotta make ya laugh just a little bit...even if you end up killing them all after the fact. Really? I never laughed about killing. It never seemed funny to me. Still doesn't. Maybe it's funny listening to people getting killed.
February 27, 201213 yr Really? I never laughed about killing. It never seemed funny to me. Still doesn't. Maybe it's funny listening to people getting killed. On the radio, in the heat of the moment, you're correct. Posting "5-6 guys squirting in every direction" on this message board? Worth a chuckle.
February 27, 201213 yr On the radio, in the heat of the moment, you're correct. Posting "5-6 guys squirting in every direction" on this message board? Worth a chuckle. That was my train of thought. I am wildly immature, I can't even say titmouse without giggling like a schoolgirl. Didn't intend to ruffle the feathers.
February 27, 201213 yr Posting "5-6 guys squirting in every direction" on this message board? I didn't post that, someone else did. You fucking Navs need to get a life.
February 27, 201213 yr I didn't post that, someone else did. You fucking Navs need to get a life. Lighten up, Francis.
February 27, 201213 yr Someone must have mentioned God at his work today. I don't get that one, which makes it even funnier than intended. Lighten up, Francis. Roger. I am expecting far more than I should expect from any booger eating Navs giggling in the trunk and I definitely should know better. This failure is on me.
February 27, 201213 yr Whatever. Still don't get the joke which means it must still be super funny. I can imagine you enjoying yourself immensely...
February 27, 201213 yr Were there any Navy recruiters waiting outside at the theater you guys were at? There must have been 6 or 7 handing out t-shirts, brochures, and posters after the movie was done. The Navy has always made fairly decent movies that they can use as recruiting tools over the past 25 or so years (starting with Top Gun). Loved the movie though, despite my time in the USAF, those dudes made me feel pretty insignificant.
February 27, 201213 yr This off Rotten Tomatoes: It's undeniably reverent of the real-life heroes in its cast, but Act of Valor lets them down with a clichéd script, stilted acting, and a jingoistic attitude that ignores the complexities of war. First, not much of a script. No problem because there are lots of scenes with cool shit and of bad guys deccelerating high speed metal. Second, stilted acting. See my first point. Third, jingoistic attitude and ignoring the complexities of war. Obviously the raters have no idea how complex it is to pull that shit off and make it look easy. And how in the hell can putting bullets in drug runners and wannabe jihadists be a bad idea. I'd give a solid 85 hits out of 100.
February 27, 201213 yr You're wife's looking wonderful these days...tell "her" I say hi! You talking to Pawnman? That picture is either a Nav wife or a Nav.
February 27, 201213 yr Really? ....I thought it was fvcking great, especially because the guys were not actors and I wasn't confused that the story/timeline wasn't 100% authentic. I especially liked the gunboat part.... Good flick. Go see it. Damn Few. 2... big time
February 28, 201213 yr 2... big time 3. I couldn't give a fvck less about the acting. It was certainly good enough to carry the bigger points, and scenes, of the movie home. Kickass.
February 28, 201213 yr Loved the movie though, despite my time in the USAF, those dudes made me feel pretty insignificant. The recruiters or the SEALs?
February 28, 201213 yr You talking to Pawnman? That picture is either a Nav wife or a Nav. Those -135 navs have really questionable taste. The WSOs, on the other hand...
February 28, 201213 yr You talking to Pawnman? That picture is either a Nav wife or a Nav. Actually, if my memory serves, that is a dude, not a Nav
