The director specifically stated he wanted to make act of valor because of all the films with corrupt officers reluctant heroes and such. He wanted a movie that portrayed heroism and patriotism.

I once took an M-16 magazine home that was going to be surveyed in an effort to see if I could convert it to workin in my Mini-14. Guess I'm a member of the corrupt Military Industrial Class.


In a semi-related note, is it bad that I enjoy posting conservative propaganda in response to liberal cracked articles?

Am I a troll?

That too.

Also: Jon Hamm for Lex Luthor.

I just beat The Darkness 2 and I was surprised the Kel-tec RFB is in this game. It was fun to play with.

Yeah, the conspiracy bullshit that movies like Shooter, Green Zone, and Act of War spoon feeds everyone gets really old. Not to say corruption and doubt among US military (or any military, for that matter) personnel doesn't exist, but it's not nearly as rampant as movies and games like to portray.

Yes, you are. Bad, bad boy.

The Left needs to be trolled, so you're justified. I've made it a habit of trolling racist websites on a regular basis (I use a program to mask my real IP address, so any time they ban me, I just change my IP and get right back to work... )

Not to be a hater or anything, but I am really unexcited for this movie. There's nothing wrong with Schwartzanegger-esque action flick, but that's what Act of Valor looks like: a dumb action movie, real SEAL cast or not (if anything, that probably means their acting will be worse). I dunno, I blame Sam Peckinpah for making want substance with my action.
