—I’m not trying to diminish the contribution of these brave men, but they’ve already made a movie about the Tuskeegee Airmen.—

I own it. It’s pretty good but comes off a little like a TV movie. I saw the previews to this one and I really want to see it, but just for the flying scenes. I’ve been a huge WWII air war buff since the late 1960’s and have spent thousands of hours on internet WWII simulators, flying pretty much everything every used in the war from every country.

I’ve learned to not expect Hollywood to get it right. I mean, in Gone With the Wind, the women of the civil war had 1930’s hairstyles..

I saw a poster for this movie a couple weeks ago and saw the mustang with a red tail and said to my wife, “must be about the Tuskegee Airmen.”

I’ll wait for it to come out on Blue Ray at redbox before I watch it though. I’ve discovered the movies are actually BETTER at home now then at the theater.

"I’ve discovered the movies are actually BETTER at home now then at the theater."

What? How could not like the constant buzz of cell phones, the migrating light of smart pones, the constant conversations of rude patrons, crying babies, coughing and hacking sick people and the occasional outburst of violence?

Roger that. The last thing I want to do is sit in a dark theater for two hours while pants-dragging gangsta types get whipped up into a whitey-beating frenzy by liberal Hollywood racism hype.
