Back when we used to be determined to win the wars we were engaged in, prior to the 1960's, what would happen to these film makers?

Prior to the 60s, Leftists were marginalized. Now they’re in charge of what can only laughably be called “culture”.

[lilycicero]

Let’s go. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump.

HollywoodPOS,

I really don’t want to pay to see my heroes falsely portrayed. Can you sneak us in your limo?

FReeper road trip! (I get control of the music!)

Do you think the producer will add in the info about LCpl Sharratt’s exoneration? Or maybe change the scene in the fourth house that the IO said was unbelievable?

They would have been hung by the neck until dead!

It's understandable that Nick Broomfield would make this movie, he and lowlife like him have an agenda against our military and only are after the money.

Andrew McLaren aka HollywoodPOS on the other hand is a former Marine, he says the film is fiction. I guess he hasn't watched the trailer because at second 47 it clearly states "Comes the unflinching true story."

This leads me to believe that McLaren is in it for the money or is a liar, actually it's probably both. He's a sad excuse for a former Marine.

[RedRover]

Woohoo! Let’s go and make wisecracks and throw popcorn at the screen!

(Er, what kind of music, Girlene?)

You can go? Great! Does that mean Harry Potter is going to loan you his invisible cloak? Not sure if the "budget" could allocate a new scene.

[Lancey Howard]

I guess this scumbag Broomfield is hustling this movie out as quickly as possible, before every Marine charged is exonerated. Meanwhile, I hope the families of these Marines pursue legal actions (lawsuits) against Broomfield. Tie the p.o.s. up in court for years.

[RedRover]

At the very least, the “based on a true story” crap has to go.

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

I wonder if Broomfield will edit to include the armed insurgents in the 4th house that tried to kill Justin and the Marines? I wonder if he will include a snip about the intelligence briefing about the planned attack on a convoy that included a white car?

I guess that was a dumb question, huh?

[Girlene]

Chick, no, not a dumb question. A realistic question. Maybe Mr. Broomfield wants to get his “movie” out before too many more “truths” about what was going on that day in Haditha hit the presses. It would have made a lot more sense (cents for Mr. Broomfield) had he released this “movie” in early 2007.

Woohoo! Let’s go and make wisecracks and throw popcorn at the screen!

(Er, what kind of music, Girlene?)

I don't care what kind of music, as long as I can control it. Jaz can bring some classic jazz, Lily can contribute some 80's hits, I'll bring a little country and modern jazz. No Bob Dylan, though! An eclectic mix, for sure.

[RedRover]

Sometimes ridicule and sarcasm is the best response to this kind of movie. We'll have to warm up for the movie by watching these guys...

[RedRover]

I see. It's not about the music at all. It's about control.

[Girlene]

LOL! But, yes.

[RedRover]

How are you at sharing control over the windows?
