Enigma Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Coming back to Kelly's heroes. Great film. Lets be honest, which WW2 movie from before SPR took the effort to make a good replica of a Tiger instead of a Post war US Walker Bulldog tank with German markings. Even a lot of the other vehicles, uniforms and gear are mostly correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 OK but I can't help you let Bob's down or I'll be in trouble from Jack....... yeah stop picking on Bob - he's very sensitive you know :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We Were Soldiers - love that film. But I have many that were ingrained in me from childhood from Dad used to watch them. But the best for me (not best in a nice way) is To End All Wars - a true story about four Allied POW's who endure harsh treatment from their Japanese captors during World War II while being forced to build a railroad through the Burmese jungle. Very sad and tragic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locolines Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 With regard to the substitution of (more) modern vehicles in lieu of period vehicles in film, it might be a thing of the past. The recent Matt Damon film 'The Green Zone' used Hueys while filming, but these were turned into Blackhawks by post-production CGI wizardy. So you see real actors leaping out of a real helicopter, but you see a Blackhawk on screen. So, I'd hope the forthcoming remake of 'Dambuster' will include whole squadrons of realistic Lancasters. jch I am going to boycott the Dambusters film until they give Mr Gibsons dog it's proper name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Jeeper Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Mr Jeeper (with his Honours Degree)I feel that I must reply to your assertions that I am 'pompous' Post 98 and 'boorish' Post 106, the latter has as one of it's definition 'ill bred' so that is me? Quite a damning conclusion.......... Bob Since you ask, I was thinking of this definition; boorish [ˈbʊərɪʃ] - adjective - ill-mannered, clumsy, or insensitive; rude. I'll add sarcastic to the list as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent Matt Damon film 'The Green Zone' used Hueys while filming, but these were turned into Blackhawks by post-production CGI wizardy. Reminds me of something I read about 15 years ago.

Bob Grundy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Where do you think I come from? You do not state this, but on Post 98 you have a link to Center for a New American Security which I thought it reasonable to assume you were part of i.e. an American ? You have my name but what is yours ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Jeeper Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I posted that link for reference because it was a discussion about movies, including Kelly's Heroes, and it contrasted with your dismissive post about my enjoyment of that movie. What's my name? It really doesn't matter, even though there's plenty of people on here who know my name, I'm just a bloke who thought that it was okay to express an opinion about a personal preference in a chatty thread without having it publicly rubbished. Silly me. Arf arf arf... That's my other dog impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" What am I doing ??? well I'm eating some cheese , drinking some wine and taking in the rays ...I only ride 'em man I don't know how to fix 'em" followed very closely by "TIGERS !?!?!?
