[quote=Konradude]what happens in the rest of the film? The landing looked practically over.[/quote]

Theres some mission to save private Ryan or something. Dunno. Been awhile.

The scence that i remeber most vividly is one where the groups sniper takes out a enemy sniper. Shot the enemy sniper through the scope. :goodjob:

I heard about that bit.

OMG watch the movie! I have a L/H relationship with it!

Also check out Saints & Soldiers.. its an IF but awsome, to me just as good as SPR

IF?
What is with all the abbreviations?! :<

Oh my god watch the movie! I have a love/hate relationship with it!

Also check out Saints & Soldiers.. its an Independent Film but (its) awsome, to me its just as good as Saving Private Ryan

Thank you, you may now abbreviate every second word agen.

I got Three Cheers For Seet Revenge by My Chemical Romance today, It's a brilliant album.
I also got Dynasty Warriors 5, great fun

Ah, Dynasty Warriors. So much mindless hack and slash, but so much fun. It's one of those games that really should be too simplistic to be fun, like Diablo, but just isnt.

It's just fun to wantonly slaughter several hundred enemy troops

indeed, gets boring after a while. the first 6,000 soldiers is fun then it gets repetitive

That's why it's a good thing you get about twenty officers to use. Plus this time apparently each officer has a unique storyline thingy

Erm, storyline? We're talking about Dynasty Warriors here. The furthest a storyline gets is "Mighty warrior kills 10000000000000000 enemies and has great honour".

Ahh.. well I'm listening to teh Red Hawt (Hot) Chili Peppers and workin on the Construction set..

Its simply labeled The Albarnias Family... It will be a masterpeice *Cough*

I'm currently sitting in the dark (since I can't be bothered to get up and put the light on) and listening to... well, nothing more than the hum of my computer, and I'm trying to waste some time while the lazy fools that are supposed to run World of Warcraft can get the test server up, allowing me to play a pre-created max-level character

Great Movie Moments

In Red Dawn when the Russians (I think they were the ones) line up Americans for execution in a big line in front of a ditch and right before they shoot them the Americans start to sing "America the Beautiful" and you can here it breaking up as they fall into the ditch.

That sounds like vomit-worthy patriotic propaganda to me.

Anyway, I'm not sure about great movie moments, but I've been watching the Godfather series recently, and when Vito Corleone gets shots I was just shocked, since I hadn't seen anything like that coming, and I thought it was a really well executed scene.

Actually, it wasn't really propaganda. It was just an entertainment film. The first one to earn the rating PG-13. Also I like the scene in the film "The Village" where that one guy gets stabbed, and I can't even remember his name. It was also very very well done.

I suppose I don't really mean propaganda, as such, it's just that it's really a typical feature of American film-making to show americans in that kind of ridiculously patriotic way (I mean, who would be thinking about their country, nevermind singing a song about it, if you're about to be shot?)

Yeah I know. But the movie looked damn good for the year it came out, 1984.

People got angry that it was as violent as it was.

I am playing tekken 5 right now, I am in love with those games. The stories for the characters are actually really interesting...and the graphics are sweet.

Bloody. I still have to wait for a week before that game comes here.

Oh the joy.

Hopefully it will be better than Tag Tournament though . Oh wait, it can't be worse.

He, I've got 3, 4 and 5. I missed out tag tournament by sheer luck. Who's everyone's favourite character?

Ugh, i can't stand Tekken games

i second the above by lonewolf

I third.

Some of us are very devoted to our country and are having our lives and future entangled in it.

I for one, if ever shot down over enemy teritory (i plan to be a pilot in the USAF) would think of first, My God, 2nd My Family, and 3rd my country. And while thinking about my country I might not bust out in a patriotic melody (because I cant sing worth crap) but I would surely do somehting to publicly state my love for my country.

Just because you wouldnt do it for your country doesn't mean they're aren't others..

I would probably be thinking. "oh god, I have to survive."

While I would be a cool guy if i thought of family and country first, I can honestly say, I probably wouldn't when I was about to die.

I'd probably flip between not wanting to die and thinking "it's about hamster cave time"

[quote=LoneWolf]I'd probably flip between not wanting to die and thinking "it's about hamster cave time"[/quote]
Buwhahaha

hmm i'd ahe to agree that i would think about my person before of my relations, divine entity, or ideal of a 'nation'. BUt i don't know how i would look at death, perhaps i'd try to survive, but perhaps i'd decide watever is after might be better. Maybe i'd be reborn in a TES type world . the concept of reincarnation is cool

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the forums?

(OOC: Hmm. . strange, it seems to be working fine right after I posted this message.)

Problems...? Not me, have worked quite fine for me...

Some might be thinking of their country, but I'm pretty sure that would be a minority. It's easy to say you'd think about things in that order when you're in a position to think about it at your leisure, but when a person is about to be killed, it's very hard to predict what they might be thinking. In virtually every case, I would think it would be a mix of fear, thoughts of escape, and thoughts of loved ones, though it's hard to say since a person won't exactly be thinking very rationally when they're about to be killed.

Anyone seen War of the Worlds? Its freaking awsome, I actually liked it better then the book.

Chumbaniya:

Well those soldiers at Iwo Jima must of been acting very irrational then to bring up the stars and stripes over the battlefield while getting shot at... Seems that most of them died to to hoist it up there.

To me that seems kinda patriotic, even in the face of death.

That guys-hoisting-USA-flag-while-getting-shot-at reeks of enscened propaganda

My only few words I have for this subject:

GO AMERICA!!!

If America got attacked you would see me on the news first holding my SKS trying to take out a few of the Martian... people. Im defending my country til the end.

I just find it odd how many people are Anti-patriotic.. It's sad

Nationalism is a touchy point but it almost seems that we need to revert back to that idealogy more.

Simply put, I love my country. You should love yours to.

(Now the idiots of the bureacracy(SP) is something else, and no I'm not anti or for bush.. He's the president by choice of american voters, and there for he was chosen to lead)

BobV: Call it whatever you want but simply put, It happened, and almost all those men died doing it. Those men are hero's to me.

So you have no opinion because he was chosen by the people and that's all you need to know? you have to have some opinion, unless you are that apathetic. (not trying to be rude/mean/offensive)

My opinion is

MAKE ME KING OF THE WORLD

That's about it

My opinion is, make me emperor of the whole frigging universe.

My opinion is, blow 'em all up and let {deity} sort 'em out

Oh well....no real discussions.

Surely it was irrational to get killed putting up a flag? How is a flag worth someone's life?

Anyway, I'm not anti-patriotic at all (at heart I'm fairly proud to be english) but I would place my own safety and my friends and family above my country any day.

This goes in the Paralament thread. Shoo Shoo. Off with yeh you scurvy dogs!

I just want to tell everyone seeya, for about 10 days or so.. Please don't let the RP get to big so I don't have to read like 45 pages again? :eek:

you don't actually have to read it - just find them wherever they are and re-join.

Yea, but reading it is half the fun... when your not swamped
