Vin Diesel is sticking with Riddick.

Bridge of Spies was really good. Kinda made the Air Force U-2 pilots look like buffons, but the rest of the movie was superb.

Had the required Colt Detective Specials and some really cool shots of M-1Ds.

Haven't seen the movie, but weren't early U-2 pilots CIA?

funkychinaman 12-01-2015 08:49 PM

This is a bit of a reach. But then again, buried in the article, an Expendables TV series?

They were Air Force pilots on contract to the CIA. They were civvies while in Pakistan and un-adorned pressure suits, but were drawing their pay from the USAF.

Expanding on this response, the story I heard from a former Blackbird ground crewman that does tours at a military museum nearby my house is that the CIA stopped using their own pilots after the Francis Gary Powers incident because captured military personnel were afforded certain protections via international treaty that didn't extend to captured civilians.

On an unrelated note, am I the only one upset by the fact that the new Terminator movie's opening sequence essentially just retconned the entirety of Salvation completely out of existence with no explanation given?

I don't think they were Air Force pilots as this was too accountable. Instead they recruited retired pilots or from the USAF reserve (reserve officers could resign their commission more easily). A number of early U2 pilots were also actually British RAF officers. They were paid by MI6 and posed as Meteorological Office employees but were still commissioned officers in the RAF. They were stationed in Turkey and I believe that most of their missions were over the Middle East, but at least 2 (possibly up to 4) of the 24 U2 overflights of the USSR were conducted by RAF pilots.

I wasn't upset per say; but I was kinda bummed that this movie makes it official that we aren't getting the trilogy based on Salvation with Christian Bale as John Connor.

I enjoyed the movie okay; but damn, I really want to see TechComm fight the evil robots in the future with some damn plasma rifles, okay?

funkychinaman 12-14-2015 12:49 PM

I didn't really like the first one, but this looks like it might have potential.

I would ponder if they're going to include Jem and the Holograms in this universe, but considering its abysmal performance, they probably want to forget that movie ever happened.

funkychinaman 12-28-2015 02:44 PM

Speaking of bombs, this is never a good sign:

And a 4% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Aw, yeah!

Swordfish941 01-06-2016 08:07 PM

Given that this movie is being directed by the guy who did the latest Macbeth adaptation, this has the potential to be good:

New Suicide Squad trailer.

funkychinaman 01-21-2016 01:08 PM

Why not just a straight reboot at this point?

Death_Shadow20 01-29-2016 01:00 PM

Joy was decent, i recently watched that and The Fifth Wave which didn't quite like.

On vgs i plan to buy the new Homefront, Quantum Break, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 and NUNS4.

Speaking of which, I remember an adaption of Macbeth I watched a year ago, with Patrick Stewart in the title role. It was set in what was supposed to be Stalinist Russia, and used all the original dialogue which worked really well. The only problem I had with it was that the soldiers who attack Macbeth's castle are wearing UCP and carrying AKs, and Macbeth uses a luger and what looks like a beretta, despite what country he's supposed to be in.

Excalibur 01-31-2016 02:09 AM

They made a 3rd one of these? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk_CY3ZGAYo

And I bet because of straight to DVD budget, they didn't get anything right again like the last movie about Jarheads

Weird. That reminds me of that Richard III adaptation that Ian McKellan was in that took place in a Nazi Germany-inspired 1930s England.

S&Wshooter 02-03-2016 06:43 PM

Got Just Cause 3 because I had some giftcards, played it for maybe a minute

funkychinaman 02-08-2016 05:46 PM

Ethan Hawke possibly making a few appearances in new Training Day series.

Did Paramount buy Cannon films or something? Because Masters of the Universe and the American Ninja films are there.

Does anyone have PSN? I've been playing the shit out of GTA Online on PS4, wouldn't be opposed to having some forum people to run around with

Excalibur 03-27-2016 02:51 AM

Sorry dude, I don't have a PS4 yet

Same boat here unfortunately.
Hopefully I'll get one soon, if only so I can devote my existence to No Man's Sky when it comes out.

S&Wshooter 03-28-2016 07:49 PM

Dicks

I need minions, for GTA Online

SPEMack618 03-28-2016 08:59 PM

Um, I have a Nintendo Wii, or rather Jackie does, can I play?

In all seriousness, "Bosch" is my new crack.

Excalibur 03-31-2016 06:40 PM

If you guys all get The Division on PC, we can all play

S&Wshooter 04-06-2016 05:35 PM

How about Steam? I have Insurgency and the DayZ Standalone, but my friends don't really play

If there are enough people, maybe we could set up an IMFDb steam group if such a thing doesn't exist currently

Excalibur 04-13-2016 04:08 PM

Getting a PS4



Also anybody see the trailer to Doctor Strange?

I did, and I can say that I'm impressed and I'm looking forward to it.

Also, I bought Dark Souls III, and so far, it's a fun yet challenging game.

Considering that Hideki Anno is directing this movie, I bet you that it will be about Godzilla fighting the Angels. Or maybe an Evangelion unit.

funkychinaman 04-20-2016 04:01 PM

I had no idea they were making a new Magnificent Seven.

Cool to hear. Hoping to get one soon myself.

And yeah I saw that one.. looks good. I wouldn't say I'm super impressed but looks good. Need to make a note to show it to my old man - He was a big Strange fan back in the day.

Godzilla - Bah, it looks ok. Of course I'm no Godzilla dude so take that as you may.
