Post your Random Rants About Movies here...

I'll start...

Footloose.

I Hated this Film when I was 13, and after watching about 90% of it again last night for the first time in 2 Decades...

I Hate it even more.

What a Terrible Film.

Predictable Stereotypical Liberal TRIPE.

I can just Imagine Jobless Liberals (Forgive the Redundancy), getting pumped up the night before a Pro-Abortion Rally by getting High and Watching this Movie to Reinforce their already Ignorant Perception of the Christian Right.

Intead of Fistfighting, these Necks Challenge new Kids to a game of Tractor Chicken?...

And who in the Hell runs to the Factory to Dance their Frustrations out Against the Mean old Preacher and the Sheepish Town who Follows him?...

Sorry, but nobody was Buying the Bacon/Singer Lover Affair...

Had we been in the Pokeback Mountain Era, Bacon and the Late Penn would have hooked up instead, cause that's Exactly where that was going.

One more thing, Loggins, what in the Hell is "Clack"?...

Terrible Film...

Made Top Gun look like one of the Greatest Films ever...

And Top Gun was NOT.

I'm done.

Next.

Ever notice how some movies that you thought were really great when you were a kid seem like total crap when you grow up?

Like the early Chuck Norris movies, when he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag (still can't but he is getting a little better).

there's not enough star wars movies.........

i hated bridges over madison county and sort........

gimme audie murphy in "to hell and back" any day!!!

[JimGP20]

I hate going to a movie that you think is going to be entertaining, and then leaving feeling empty. One such movie for me was "The War Of The Roses". The entire time that Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner were fighting, I always wanted to believe that deep down, they were still in love, and in the case of the Douglas character, I think that was true.... but the Turner character was hateful to the very end, when both of them were laying there dying, and he tried to grasp her hand in an act of love, and she pulled hers away. That made me hate the whole movie and also made me wish I hadn't bothered at all.

Was 'There's Something About Mary' actually supposed to be a comedy? Stupid movie, not funny, and I can't for the life of me figure out why guys think that Cameron Diaz is so hot!!! Okay, she's not ugly, but she can't act fer crap... that could cover half of the women you pass on the street tomorrow!

Look at the dreck she's starred in, and explain again why it is she gets paid even half the compliments as an 'artiste' that she does.

Go into any video store and ask the clerk for a copy of "Rambo 2". Naturally, they will return with "Rambo: First Blood part 2". Insist that this is in fact "Rambo 1". If they try and give you "Rambo 3", reaffirm your demands for "Rambo 2". If they give you "First Blood" explain that this is a Rambo prequel, and that you wish to have "Rambo 2".

Bad reactions to movies:

The Perfect Storm - A movie about some dumbasses who decided to risk their lives for some money.... and lost.

Fight Club - Worst and most unbelievable twist in movie history.

Citizen Kane - Yawn. "Rosebud" Yawn. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Dr T and the Women - I'll never watch another Robert Altman movie.

House of the Dead - Absolutely horrendous. Why is Uwe Boll still given money to make movies?

Jeepers Creepers - The first 45 minutes ranked up there with the scariest movies of all time. After that it sucked hard.

Signs - Maybe the large blue sections of our planet should have been enough of a warning?

Dirty Dancing - Never saw it and I still hate it.

Punch-Drunk Love - An hour and a half of my life I want back.

Halloween III - *** was that?

Any Superman movie past Superman II - I'm not sure how many there were, but they were all crap, including Supergirl.

Fahrenheit 911 - Now I understand why black folks yell at the screen.

Any movie with Rosie Perez. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I can't stand 'comedies' anymore. They usually aren't funny, and all the humor now is just gross-out and toilet jokes. Mind you, those can be funny, but in certain situations, and that situation is not when I've forked over ten bucks to get in to the movies (not counting other related costs).

Time was a comedy could actually make most people laugh, instead of rolling their eyes at sophomoricly crude attempts at humor. Silly can be funny, when it's not too ham-fisted. A good example to me was Mystery Men, whose silliness I laughed at throughout.

My rant now is with Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. What a lame movie!

The critics loved it, but I for one can't figure out why. It was not scary in the least, the plot was contrived, and it was BORING! The guy who was allegedly demon-possessed exclaims "I am perfection!" as he stands with a withered hand! The demon-possessed guy looked like the long, lost cousin of The Mask!

Some of the best shooting scenes done in modern movies. The bad guy had to reload and the sequence of firing the gun and the actors reaction was well done. Not to mention that I actually found myself rooting for the bad guy.

Rudy - Here's a kid that had enough talent to be a starter on most small college football teams, and probably get a full scholarship for it. But instead, he pays his own way to Notre Dame, works his way onto the practice squad, gets his butt kicked every day in practice by the starters, and finally gets a 'victory' by being allowed to participate in a few meaningless plays at the end of his senior year. Sorry, I didn't find it very inspiring.

Here's a question for everyone: where's the next action guy? Jackie Chan is getting too old, Jet Li will always be a fringe guy, Vin Diesel is already toast, and the Rock isn't even trying.

Plus, then next crop of 'young actors' are about as manly as a twelve year old girl.

Vin Diesel is already toast, and the Rock isn't even trying.

He's kinda cute, if he wasn't so much of a mouth breather (goober). Also, if he'd stop playing in those totally retarded movies (Chronicles of Riddick... Never saw the SEAL one but it looked corny) he could be a good one.

Bit of an eclectic week:

'Waiting...' - Pretty good comedy with a heavy-handed dose of sexual humor. The scene with the waitress finally joining in the 'game' had me rolling on the floor.

'A History of Violence' - This movie doesn't fit to well into being categorized. At times it's a revenge action flick, and at others it's a melodrama. I'm not really a fan of movies that leave stories without an ending.

'Benchwarmers' - Eh. Fairly funny, but with Joe Dirt, Deuce Bigalow, and Napoleon Dynamite, I was expecting much more.

'Time Changer' - I'm a huge fan of time travel movies, and when I saw this on the shelf at the video store I snapped it up. When I watched it I discovered it was really a Christian movie disguised to look like a science fiction movie. The basic premise is a guy back in the 1890s writes a book that claims that good acts should be commended, even if they aren't rooted in Jesus' teachings. He's given a chance to go into the future (present day) to see the results of his book. Dispite the movie being very heavy handed (think sledgehammer) on the preaching, fairly badly acted (dispite some well-known names), and having bargain-basement special effects, I still found it interesting. It makes you think about how much Christianity has changed over the years. BTW, I did go back to the video store and check out the DVD's box again, and nope, no mention of it being a Christian film. Weird.

It had an Ending, but it was Assumed.

I agree with you that it didn't End well, but it was Based on Graphic Novel, and after Sin City, one doesn't Expect a Graphic Novel to so Lacking in Cartoonish Style.

But the Violence was Quality.

Did anyone see the movie Kung Fu Hustle? I watched it this weekend. It was pretty awesome. The action sequences (which was most of the movie) were phenomenal. It also had a great story line and was quite funny. It was subtitled, which really doesn't bother me much. I was too busy laughing at most of the movie to actually hear the dialogue anyway. STARZ is currently showing it. I don't think you need to be a fan of the whole martial arts genre to appreciate this one.

I thought you'd prolly have seen it, Mal. I have to catch it again. I wanted to see it when it was released, but never really made it to the theater to see it. The cinemaphotography was awesome, and the special effects were great. Especially with the harpists. Loved the Landlady, too.

Went to see Ice Age 2 this weekend with my youngest, and it once again made me realize that the cartoons coming out of Hollywood right now are better than half of everything else they're doing. It wasn't even all that good...

The best thing I can say about movies right now is that I was so jazzed to find The Stagecoach (John Wayne) on DVD! Well, that and Reservoir Dogs...

[snagswolf]

But the Violence was Quality.
Yeah, the guy with his nose punched into his brain was a sight that will remain with me. :)

[FoxGranadaChuck]

My top favorite movies of all time are:

1)Fiddler On The Roof

2)Excalibur (Nichol Williamson didn't play Merlin; he WAS Merlin!)

3)Exorcist: The Beginning (I know that I am going to ellicit controversy on this last one!)

[americanmaid]

I kind of like Exorcist III. I thought it was much spooker than the original. This is the one with George C. Scott (and Nicol Williamson, as a matter of fact.) Might be just about the only case where I can say I enjoyed the sequel more than the original. Blatty (who wrote Exorcist) actually directed this one.

Anyone see it?

Affirmative. Nicol Williamson was superb as Father Morning!

[americanmaid]

It was much scarier than the first Exorcist, which, looking back on it, was quite laughable. And all the performances were top notch. Brad Dourif has more or less made a name for himself playing psychos.

One movie I found very disappointing was The Ring 2. What a piece of crap! I had a hard time sleeping after seeing the first, took me about a week to start sleeping soundly. The second was so boring!

Agreed on all counts! The exorcism scene in Exorcist III was far scarier than the original.

Have to admit, I thought all of the Exorcii (?) were pretty slow... not that the acting was bad, but because I just couldn't get into them. Yawners, for me...

[americanmaid]

A pretty cool scene in the orig was cut from the theatrical release. Regan walks down the stairs somewhat spider like. She is on all fours, but she is face up, so you can see her face and stomach, rather than the back of her head and back. They sped up the footage, so it looked pretty cool. Her position is sort of like a yoga position that I think is called "the bridge", where you arch your back and put your hands over your head until they touch the floor.

I just watched the original The Incredible Hulk TV movie, circa 1978. Even with the primitive special effects, it is WORLDS better than The Hulk in 2003! Bill Bixby will always be David Banner!!!

What is up with the sound in movies nowadays? I'm watching something on my TV, two actors in the movie are interacting, dialogue, the sound is so low. I turn the volume up to 11 to listen to what they're saying and all of a sudden a phone rings, a car alarm goes off, whatever, and my eardrums are bleeding! It's SO annoying!


The Napoleon Dynamite thing. I have to admit, when I first saw it, I was like :eh: . Didn't think it was so hot. Every day after I rented it, though, I thought a little bit more, and the scenes and dialogue came back, and I found myself laughing more and more. I went out and bought the dvd 4 days after renting it. It's just a goofy movie, but I think it's kind of sweet and touching, as well as being funny. The movie had the same effect on my husband and my sister, too.

[signcut]

My kids love that movie, as does my wife. I still don't get it. I thought the only funny parts were with the brother...

Napoleon to Uncle Rico: You don't have to stay with us...Kip's like 32 years old!

It still cracks me up!

One of the things I liked about it was there is no cursing. Napoleon says Gosh and flippin, but he doesn't drop any bombs. It's kind of nice, because my nieces like the movie, too, and I don't feel too strange watching it with them (they range from 10 - 17). I started watching 16 Candles with them once (my video) and I forgot there was some pretty bad language in there. Not that I'm a saint or anything, I can curse like a sailor, but I don't do it in front of kids...

This is why my step-dad says that he has to give up "24". He says that he loves the show, but the background noise is too loud that he can't hear the dialogue. I don't know why they do that. Commercials are always quite loud also.

Have you ever sat in a movie theatre and either laughed or cried so long and so hard that people turned to give you dirty looks?
The laughing happened to me during the movie "Only When I Laugh". It's an old movie from around the early 1980's, but sitting in the theatre, something funny happened and everyone chuckled. But I LAUGHED. and I could NOT stop. Then the more I tried to stop, the more I laughed. Spectacle.
The crying happened during the movie "Steel Magnolias". The graveyard scene. I could not stop crying. I cried so hard and so loud that even the friend I was with turned to me and said (sharply), "It's a MOVIE!"

I was looking for this thread over the weekend when 'Enemy Mine' was on and I wanted to rant about it. Truely a craptastic movie. It had potential, but when they got pregnant it went downhill and kept plummeting from there.

High Tension - If you're a fan of horror films, and you don't mind either subtitles or english dubbing, check out this one. It's from France, and it pegs the gore-dometer. It also has a neat little twist to it.

Click - Marketed as a comedy, and it has some funny moments, but it also has a serious side. If you enjoyed the move 'The Family Man' with Nick Cage, you'll probably like this one too.

A History Of Violence was my favorite film to come out last year.

[Kobiyashi]

this was blog i wrote a while ago about terrorism in films and the state of horror films. I thought you guys might like it. Just as a warning though, there's quite a bit of profanity in it




















The State Of Film: Terrorists & Horror Films

"Muslims are protesting the movie The Siege claiming it portrays them as terrorists. Everyone's so politically correct these days. I saw a movie about the formation of The Crips and it starred Greg Kinnear and Jonathan Taylor-Thomas."
- Colin Quinn on Weekend Update

With the exception of True Lies, when was the last time a pop-corn film involving terrorism had Islamic fundamentalists as the bad guys? This has lead to what I like to call the "Politically Correct Terrorist".

The Sum of All Fears, when it was in book form had Islamic fundamentalists, but when they turned it into a film, the muslims were replaced by Nazis. Now this would have been perfectly fine if the setting of the film had been Poland in the 30's and 40's when they were still relevant. However, the film was set in modern-day DC and Baltimore and involved terrorists detonating a nuke at the Super Bowl, and I'm sorry, but the nazis don't strike me as having the means to do that type of work these days. I can't believe I'm saying this and I realize how bad this sounds, but the Nazis have now become politically correct.

Collateral Damage was a film with Arnold Schwartzenegger about a firefighter who's wife and son are killed in a bombing by Columbian terrorists. Arnold's character, Gordy Brewer (Don't you just love how Arnold always plays characters with names like Gordy Brewer?), then travels to Columbia to kill them. Originally the film was supposed to have Islamic fundamentalists and Arnold's character was a women's basketball coach (I couldn't make that **** up), but they decided to make to make him a fireman for believability and make the terrorist Columbians over "concerns".

Now I'm not trashing these films. For what they are (mindless action), they were well done, but the terrorist thing has been ****ing me off for a while now. I also want to make it clear that I have nothing against muslims. Yes, I'm well aware that the majority of them are fine people. But let's be honest, there's only one group that's actively performing suidcide bombings, and it's not 70-year-old polish women.

Also, what the hell is this PG-13 rated wannabe horror ****. I'm sorry, but it's not a real horror film if it doesn't have an R rating. I'm so sick of crap like The Ring and The Grudge. They're not scary. They are, to quote my friend Boston, "****ing retahded". Horror fans are pretty easy to please. We're willing to overlook a mediocre plot as long as some as there's some decents kills and enough blood and gore to make Jeffrey Dahmer cringe.

A PG-13 film that really ****ed me off was Alien Vs. Predator. I grew up watching both the Alien and Predator franchises. I love the first two Alien films and both Predator films. Whenever they're on TV, no matter how far into the film it, I'll sit down and watch them. Anyhoo, when I heard about the Alien Vs. Predator film, I was more excited than a retard chasing a flashlight. i was counting down the days till the release. We were promised a gorrified masterpiece. Then it turned out the film was rated PG-13. To say that I was let down would be like saying Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold overreacted. A huge ****ing understatement. Where the **** was our gorrified masterpiece? I was expecting to see something more bloody than a dumpster outside planned parenthood.

I never bothered to see it in theatres, and only recently watched it on HBO onDemond It was beyond atrocious. It made me want to riot. I loved those two franchises as a kid. Those franchises were like that older neighborhood kid who'd give you cool ****. To see them now being used as nothing more than hookers for their pimp 20th Century FOX. Whenever someone would ask why I refused to see it in theatres, "Would you want to see your friend get sodomized in the ass?"

So I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest the other day and it was okay. A little long and a little to dark, but entertaining enough for a summer blockbuster. I hope the third movie is better. Kiera Knightly looked hot.

Dead Mans Chest: Good movie not as good as Curse of the Black Pearl but still good. Whoever had the bright idea of giving the movie a cliffhanger and making the movie goers wait a year to see what happens should be taken out back and shot, or mabe floged till the third one comes out.

Collateral was really, really good. I loved Tom Cruise's character...regardless of what he did, I found him almost likeable. I think it was Mann who said "he's the kind of guy you'd want over for dinner if he didn't kill people for a living."

I think it could have. The original draft of the script was set in New York and the cab driver was a comedy writer on the side. Also, Sandler can do some serious acting. Check out Punch-Drunk Love. He's great in that. I'm looking forward to Sandler's upcoming film, Empty City. Here's the plot description

A man (Sandler) who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs into his old college roommate (Don Cheadle). Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help the man recover from his grief.

i saw Snakes On A Plane and thought it was ****ing great. It's not gonna win any Oscars, but was fun. However, the sond that plays during the end credits is a complete piece of crap. I want to know the decision-making process that led to this stupid emo-****ing band play after a kickass movie like this. You couldn't find a good hard rock band? No, I think we should the band with down's syndrome play during the credits. Otherwise, it might be entertaining.

I saw "Guess Who" over the weekend w/ Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher. I thought it was cute, but Bernie Mac had the best line. My husband and I (who will be celebrating our 24th anniversary) both laughed out loud.

Bernie: "Do what?"
Ashton: "Twenty-five years. How do you stay married 25 years."
Bernie: "Painfully."

Movies I loved, in order:

Braveheart - yeah it isn't totally accurate but who cares? Mel Gibson's speech was so moving I wanted to grab a pitchfork and fight the English!

Pulp Fiction - Just. Plain. Awesome.

The Bourne Identity - I didn't think Matt Damon could be believable as a tough guy, but man he pulled it off bigtime.

Young Guns - "We're goin' to the spirit world, Chaves!"

Face Off - Great Nicholas Cage movie, good action and great plot.


A big gripe of a movie... Star Wars, Ep IV...
Why does Princess Leia start the movie with a British accent... but end it talking like an American? That annoyed the hell out of me! Even though Carrie Fisher was pretty hot back then, she still annoyed me.

[dittoheadAZ]

ET - I hated that movie.

They showed the moon in a position that it couldn't possibly have given the time of day and alleged approximate latitude, and it turned me off for the whole movie.

(Oh yeah, the plot was inane too.)

Stranger than Fiction - I must admit I was drawn to this film because of Will Ferrell and the previews making it look like a straight comedy. It isn't. While it has some funny moments, it's more of a serious film than the trailers let on.

Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhaal do a great job of making you care for these characters, and they have a lot of chemistry between them. Loved the movie. In my top ten for the year.

We went to see Borat and walked out of it after about thirty minutes.
The guy is funny. It was a great premise for a movie. It filmed him doing and saying outrageous things to unsuspecting people, but it was barnyard nasty.

We're not prudes, by any stretch, but the filth in the movie was down right embarrassing.

Summary of American Gangster

The film is a biopic of Harlem heroin kingpin Frank Lucas. Lucas grew up in rural, segregated North Carolina. In the early 1970s, he became the biggest heroin dealer in Harlem with a smuggling scheme that imported the stuff out of Southeast Asia in the caskets of Vietnam soldiers. The film centers on narcotics lawman Richie Roberts' struggle to bring down Lucas, whose flamboyant style earned him the street name "Superfly." Lucas goes on to help Roberts hunt down dirty cops and overseas connections.

Some recent viewings:

Deja Vu - Fairly good time travel/action flick. Not what I expected from the previews, but it makes you think at times. Denzel Washington does a good job of selecting movies. 6/10

Snakes on a Train - Yes, that's TRAIN. A cheesy, gory, dumbass movie intended to cash in on the buzz of Snakes on a Plane. A Mexican woman's been cursed and is taking a train to LA to see a 'doctor' who can help her. The curse makes her spit up green jello and snakes. I believe this movie was a project for a flunked-out-of-acting-school group. But the ending is so terribly bad, it has to be seen. I'd say this film straddles the line of being so bad, it's funny. 3/10

The Brown Bunny - Ok, I'll admit this up front. The only reason I watched this movie was to see Chloe Sevigny (from Big Love) do her impersonation of Monica Lewinski. And that scene does deliver. But the rest of the movie? Couldn't get any worse. This movie is ssslllllooooooooowwwww. It's basically the main character driving his van across the country. He's driving, he's driving, he's driving, he meets a girl, he's driving, he's driving, he's driving, he meets an old and almost unrecognizable Cheryl Tiegs, he's driving, he's driving, he's driving, he's driving his motorcycle, he's driving, he's driving, he's driving, he's picking up a prostitute in Las Vegas to have lunch with her, he's driving, he's driving, he's driving, and on and on and on. No exaggeration, if you removed the scenes of him driving, the movie would only be half as long as it's 1 1/2 hours. Probably less. Praise the Lord for the fast-forward button. There's a semi-interesting twist at the end, but by that time I was just too numb to care. 2/10 (Chloe gets a 10/10)

Casino Royale - I enjoyed Craig's Bond more than I though I would. He's a much harsher Bond than what we've seen in a while, and I was nice to see that hard edge. On the downside, I thought the nearly hour-long poker playing arc in the middle of the film was a bit too long for an action movie, and it was also a bit short on the various exotic locations we're used to in Bond movies. 8/10

Invincible - Story of a Philadelphia Eagles fan who becomes an Eagle. Mildly interesting, but it seemed a bit short to me. Could have used an extra 15 minutes of character development, especially in the areas of him interacting with the Eagle veterans, and his love interest. Also, Wahlberg is a bit undersized to be completely believable as an NFL player. 5/10

Recent movies:

The Holiday: Fairly decent chick flick. I like a good romantic comedy, and this was good, not great. But Jack Black and Kate Winslet? That's a stretch.

Night at the Museum: Best movie of the holiday season. Ben Stiller's gotten a little stale for me lately, but this was his best in a while. And perfect for taking the kids. And I thought Micky Rooney was dead?

Pan's Labyrinth: Highly recommended if you're into movies that weave the story of a girl during the Spanish Revolution with an engaging fairy tale. I loved it. One of those movies that keeps popping into your head afterwards.

The Guardian: Story of rescue swimmers in the Coast Guard. I wasn't expecting much, and if you've seen Top Gun/Heartbreak Ridge/Officer and a Gentleman you've seen everything in this movie. That said, I found it enjoyable. Kutcher and Costner had a chemistry.

Little Miss Sunshine: Very depressing movie about a family of misfits who have no luck at all. This is supposed to be a comedy? The ending was funny, but not enough to overcome all the bad that preceded it. This movie needed more Alan Arkin. Best movie of the year? I don't think so.

Flags of our Fathers: Tells the interesting story behind the photo of the marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima. It's part war movie and part soap opera. The story was interesting, but the movie fell a little short in execution.

Borat: A slightly higher-class Jackass. A guy traveling across the country attempting to embarass unsuspecting non-actors. Tedious and boring.

Santa Clause III - Just didn't have the heart of the previous two.

Miami Vice: The most boring movie of the year.

Deck the Halls: The most irritating movie of the year.

The Fountain: The stupidest movie of the year. Saw it at the dollar movie theater, and almost asked for my money back. Don't believe the trailers for this movie. It's not about what they say it's about.

Nah. :) Never watched it when it was on.

Recent movies:

The Number 23: Just couldn't get into it. Wasn't what I expected, and couldn't buy the premise. I'm disappointed because I was hoping for more.

Epic Movie: Pretty much what I expected. Uneven comedy similar to the Scary Movie series. Some funny parts, and some boring stretches. The Harry Potter sequence was the highlight.

Hard Candy: Watched this movie because someone here recommended it, and it was definitely worth it. Great film. It may not be everyone's cup of tea though. The plot is a thirtysomething guy meets a 14 year old girl online, and they decide to meet. They go to his house, and well, let's just say it goes downhill from there. No nudity or graphic violence at all, but one of the most intense films you'll ever see (especially if you're a guy.)

Ghost Rider: Pretty good for that type of movie. Not quite summer blockbuster material, but Cage does a good job of playing the lead. Great special effects when he's the Ghost Rider, especially on the bike. I thought the love story detracted more than it added.

Music & Lyrics: If you like Hugh Grant, you'll love this movie. He's an aging pop star who used to be in an 80s band (think Wham!), and Drew Barrymore is his plant waterer. The chemistry between them is pretty good - almost as good as her and Sandler in Wedding Singer.

We are Marshall: Pretty good flick. Wasn't real familiar with the story, even though I live fairly close to the campus. McConaughey was a bit over the top, but Fox grounded the movie nicely.

[Ardathair]

Most Loathed movies;

Starship Troopers; they kept the name a few character names and nothing else. Each soldier being a walking/ jumping arsenal in the book to cannon fodder in the movie.

The Keep. Low rate movie when I first watched it; much lower rate once I read the book. Molasar/Rasalom was such a well developed, Evil antagonist, gets turned into a B movie bad guy.

The Bourne Identity/ Supremacy; good books but why is Jason Bourne then way he is, what happened to him to turn him into what he is? Degraded to "Evil Government" reasons not this causd that reasons.

Hunt For Red October. I know that the more technical aspects of the book had to be left out, but THEY DIDN'T ROLL THE ALPHA"
I was so waiting for that moment, such a disapointment.
