Just got done watching it and there really isn't much I can say. It was a very good movie but extremely difficult to watch. I'm a pretty emotionless guy most of the time, but at the end of the movie they play Minstrel Boy while listing the soldiers who died and I lost it. I'm sitting here almost an hour after the movie and I still can't think about it or I find myself starting to cry again.

I saw the History channel show on this last night. Had the survivors, real film. Hard to imagine all those guys having to run the mile, after fighting all night.

Just saw it too. (yaaawn, oh is it october already??) I rented two movies, actually, and was going to watch it last, but my dad, who lives nearby, was alone so I thought I'd watch it with him, instead of us being separate.
He served as a seargeant with the UN peacekeeping forces, swedish dispatch, in Congo 1960-62, special forces interpreter.
I thought it could be cool for him, knowing he had more ties to Africa than just the UN. I didn't really expect it to be like a modern "Private Ryan".
We sat for hours after and talked about stuff that came up, things he had ceased thinking about thirty years ago. I got a little wiser about why for example he's always been so protective about our family, like when looking out the window for long times at night, when cars or people go by. Congo nights could get pretty lively, when local villagers wanted to steal munitions from the barracks, or kill soldiers in their sleep hoping they could drive the forces out of the area.
(Funny, this is the first time I'm really astounded my dad didn't raise me and my brothers like little soldiers.)
He liked the movie, anyhow, in the way it portayed the action and atmosphere, and the psyche of the opposition.
One thing though, he mentioned. In african urban night operations, even big cities, you don't get as much nightlight as they did in the movie (when the Delta's were pulling forward). In fact, you don't see shit.

i usually watch Blackhawk Down at least once a week. fab movie. to think that Bruckheimer had something to do with it...
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Is that healthy Edi!?! It is a very 'full on' movie.
What do people think of Eric Bana? You should try and get out a movie that sorta brought him into the spot-light here in Australia called "Chopper".

By the way, the website uses sexually frank language and masturbation. This website is not pornography, so check somewhere else for your "needs." This website is not endorsed by The Pompatus of Love.

But sites with, erh, pornographic contents are? Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Only if they meet my high standards for artistic achievement. Posted by E. Cartman (Member # 256) on :
Like gay-midget wrestling? Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Exactly!
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
ooh, ooh, Liam will love that.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Umm, weren't you the one asking for lessons?
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
yes, but Liam is the midget type.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Please get your running gags straight. I'm the one who is into midgets since I star in midget pornos. Liam is into Powerpuff Girls slash and making fun of Sol System's massive equipment.
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
i wasn't taking part in a running gag. i was simply stating that Liam is into midgets, which he is. he likes how they don't have to bend over to suck him off.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Isn't it traditional to kneel, rather than bending over?
And you seriously spend every weekend watching the same four movies over and over? Oy.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Great. Now I have to get off my ass and find a website that will teach EdipisReks the art of oral gratification.
And, for the final time, I AM INTO MIDGETS! NOT LIAM! ME! I <3 MIDGETS!
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
bending down works better if someone is taking the person who is bending down in the butt.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
That is a rather awkward position since it leaves the oral gratifier/anal receiver is a state of near-imbalance and strain. The poor guy has nothing to support himself.
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
that's why you have them in a sex-sling.
Posted by Proteus (Member # 212) on :
I thought BHD was 'fuckin rad'. I LOVED the MG3s. And finally a movie where they actually use the M203.

It is quite convenient. It means that they can do it if we are balancing on top of two really tall poles.
Also, I say that Tim is fat and pedantic.

I don't believe that. I meant to write "sexually frank language and illustrations." And I even proofread that damn post! And editted it! AUGH!
