I demand Grenada war movies!!!

[~~whimsy~~]

This was obviously one of the most important battles American forces ever been in! I fail to see why there are no films recognizing the importance, preserving history, and showing how bad ass we fought in this hardcore war!

I mean, this war was like WWII mixed with Vietnam and the badassetry of the Revolutionary War.

I demand Mel Gibson direct a film about this! I demand ILM to back the technology. And I want the main person being, well, I don't know. No less!

I DEMAND A FUCKING GRENADA WAR FILM!!

I liked it when Clint pulled out Mario Van Peebles earring. :hatsoff:

 

[Vosslier]

Heartbreak Ridge was a great movie. I cant belive I never heard of it till it was mentioned in an episode of Psych.

I want to see a Falkland Islands war movie, I demand that.

Your vision....it is amazing. You've captured this so spectacularly we should just give you an oscar so you don't have to make the movie.

It would be too honest.

Yeah Tumbledown was good, as was an Argentine film done just a few years ago on the Malvinas.

 

[Bree Olson]

It's funny because I was just watching some cheesy remake documentary on the military channel about Grenada lol.

 

[sporty_carr]

Nicolas Cage should write, star, and direct a Grenada movie.


....................................I'd watch it.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I'm waiting......

 

[roronoa3000]

I want a movie based on "The View"

Asshole, I went to Panama almost two weeks after I got finished with the school of infantry. I'd like to see you crap your intestines out when there are two hundred Panamanians shooting in your direction. Oh, wait. I did that so you wouldn't have to.

Fucking hippies. The stupid things they say and write about policy makers filter down to the troops on the ground and start to demoralize them. "But we support the troops. We want to bring them home." Fuck you, we signed on knowing there would be danger and fully expecting some of our friends wouldn't make it home.

There's only one work worthy of mention in this thread and that is Clint Eastwood's seminal piece, "Heartbreak Ridge," featuring an overacting class of actors headlined by Mario Van Peebles and the guy who played the werewolf in "Silver Bullet." Any other film about Granada would slip unrecognized into oblivion when compared to this opus.

Oh, and Lent is almost over so I lifted my vow of not cussing a little early just so I could comment on this. You should be proud.

Wow, what a dick. Did you leave your sense of humor behind when you came back? I mean good job and thanx and all for, you know, serving in Panama. But how's about calming down a little bit. You're not the only vet around here and you're not the only vet who has been shot at. Your Panama and my Desert Storm were mosquitos on the elephants ass of what our services have been through, past and present. So don't go getting all Vietnam-flashback on us.

Panama, Kuwait, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Somalia, Iraq and a couple other places I went in my time were all hot spots. I spent the better part of my enlistment doing shitty jobs and dodging bullets so that others could feel free to spout off about things that they have no business commenting on? Yeah, I did.

But that freedom should come with the ticket price of me punching them in the mouth when they say stupid shit.

And no, I didn't leave my sense of humor behind. I did leave behind a bunch of dead friends in those places, though. And to have someone treat it as a punchline is abhorrent to me.

God bless the military. And laugh when you can.
