Mayor an absolute prick, selling out his poorer constituents here.

Post by **brian** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:53 pm

The picture of Gromyko in the mayor's office is a nice touch.

The tall guy digging the grave looks like Harold Ramis in "Stripes".

Post by **brian** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:54 pm

Who digs their own grave? Fuck you just kill me.

Hey it's the scen that traumatized me as a kid.

Howell would go on to never be allowed back in civilized society again.

C Thomas Howell's character arc from Star Wars nerd to ninja is hilarious.

God damn, my favorite (or at least most remebered) part of the movie. Popping out of the foxholes.

Post by **brian** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:57 pm

Russians not exactly winning hearts and minds here.

I like how during the Cold War if you were an Eastern European living in America you were basically guaranteed a movie part if you wanted it.

THE COOLEST MUTHERFUCKING SCENE WHEN I WAS A KID.

Post by **brian** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:59 pm

Wolverines!

Trained soldiers getting powned by a bunch of kids.

TIL "sniper" means "sniper" in Russian.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:00 pm

Russians going to be rooting for Ohio state.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:02 pm

Guessing the Russian general doesn't defer to the subordinate's language.

This is a pretty fair representation of the results when John Cooper replaced Earle Bruce.

What's the capital of Texas?

Post by **brian** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:03 pm

Powers Fuckin Boothe.

90% of Americans get shot there.

The pause point is coming up at the end of this scene. Pause when it cuts to the pilot sleeping inside a tent.

So hard not to see him in anything but Deadwood.

Tanner seems like a dude who would try to move on the girls.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:08 pm

RIP 400 million screamin' Chinamen.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:08 pm

Pause. We'll start up again at 10:20.

Post by **brian** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:08 pm

Having China on your side is nothing to sneeze at.

Yeah but just the screamin' ones. Quiet ones are with the Russians I assume.

This would have been our future if we nominated Bernie.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:20 pm

And play.

The Russian troops in Stripes were more competent.

Post by **brian** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:22 pm

Too many vegans in Denver to go cannibal.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:22 pm

Powers Boothe somehow looks young here. He was the type of guy who seemed like he was born as a 45 year old.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:23 pm

Very movie to have the guy in the military be the anti-war voice.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:24 pm

I feel like there'd be more infighting over the females.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:24 pm

I'm not lying when I say Powers Boothe being a fellow alum is in the top 2 things I love about graduating from SWT.

Nods.

Wolverines having a zero casualty rate so far seems to stretch the bounds of plausibility.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:28 pm

Not too much snow for DEcember in Colorado by the way.

Queers sitting this one out.
