Ha, very interesting. I guess it’s true, living well is the best revenge.
Thank you Mr. Clint, you’re a great American in your own right.
I thought Act of Valor was quite good...really good! OTOH 0 Dark 30 was boring to the max. Am Sniper was right up there w/ Act of Valor.
Great movie. Saw it this weekend. Reasonably close to the book, with some toning down for political correctness, and amping up for Hollywood.
I saw it this weekend. I highly recommend seeing it but don’t go with anyone you dont want to see you cry.
Anybody have some names of the 18 so i can avoid them?
I sure wish he would have used a term different than "out-gross"... ;')

George Clooney must have been in about half of them. The other half either featured Matt Damon or Ben Affleck.
This is not surprising.
Many studies have been made over the years that shows Hollywood’s agenda is to LOSE money.
Their highest grossing money making movies are rated PG and PG-13.
Yet what do they spend most of their money on? R-rated films designed to shock, insult and gross out most viewers.
Hollywood has an agenda and they don’t care what it takes or how much it costs to promote their sick and perverted world views.
One of my favorite WOT movies is Kingdom. The last 20 minutes or so of that movie are really intense.
1. American Sniper $64,365,000

8. Selma $5,500,000

I am amused that the movie has generated political controversy from the usual suspects. IMHO, it is not a political movie. It honors the sacrifices and hard work that we ask of our brave and patriotic soldiers. I guess that’s what makes it political to some.
The most successful ground campaign in military history was distilled into klooney being a con man.
It costs a LOT to maintain the official propaganda line, you know.
Making these money-pits is just Hollywood’s way of paying homage to the Liberal Democrat oligarchy that keeps a stranglehold on true creativity. And they get to write off their “losses” as corporate welfare, a large but mostly not identified recipient of this government favoritism.
Ticket prices now are double and in some cases triple what they were when many of the movies being compared to American Sniper were released.
