everything else was so strong that she couldn't frick it up
evidenced by white not making anything else remotely as good
meanwhile simon & co are kino machines. simple as
this is the first time ever someone has ever signed off with the "simple as" tagline without a pants shitting moronic take.
Because the show was written by David Simon and Ed Burns. They did the Wire
david simon did 2 episodes of the wire in like season 4 come on
Being this involved in the show undoubtedly means he had a key role in its success
are you confused? he was the creator/showrunner/head writer of the wire and it was based on a book written by Simon.
>super edgy show with nothing held back
>a white character still doesn't say Black person with a hard R
Many such cases. SAD!
in the military you dont hear anyone say Black person
during that time, when I was in, they pushed the everyone is the same color and we are all race blind: Army Green, etc.
it was a better time
I can't remember the show or movie but I remember a scene where a soldier was admonished for using the term "sand Black person" to refer to Iraqis as it offended the blacks. The soldier was ordered to restrict himself to "towel head" "camel jockey" and another one.
Great scene. I wish I could remember the movie.
Might be Three Kings.
back in 2011 we had a guy get kicked out of country because we were taking contact and he was screaming
>THERE'S Black folk IN THE TREES
into the wrong radio that just so happened to be the battalion frequency on a day a 3 star general was visiting
but were the nigs in the trees? could be a useful callout
Were there even trees?
palms maybe. it could happen
yeah but they're really anal with fricking around on the radio, honestly the dude got kind of lucky they didn't bust him down in rank
there are a lot of trees in some parts of afghanistan, we were in helmand where it's fairly green in the valleys.
>afghanistan
I thought you were talking about Iraq. Trees seemed rare in the parts of Iraq I've seen.
yeah iraq is pretty arid all over there are oasis type areas but no alpine areas like afghan
Palm forests must fricking suck ass. I wonder if they have like a palm version on Yosemite or some shit.
did you even watch the show? it literally happens 5 minutes into the first episode
Post it then
Not true, I just watched this a few weeks ago for the first time and a white dude says Black person in the last episode.
The redneck says it at least a couple times kek what
Outside of Cinemaphile, Black person is rarely said. I can't remember the last time I really heard Black person instead of homie outside of here, including around very un-PC people.
Zero Dark Thirty was also directed by a woman.
zero dark 30 isn't kino. bigelow hasn't made any
but at least harron did american psycho and championed casting bale
I disagree. Certainly the part where they assault the compound is great military kino.
the raid is well done but that's like 2 hours into the movie and what precedes it isn't exceptional
The raid is actually about a third of the runtime.
And nah, I liked the stuff with the torture, Chastain and Jason Clarke's interactions where she refuses to girl out for even a second were pretty cool. The second act was a bit dull is all.
The Hurt Locker was overrated crap tho. Just further proof that the Oscars are fricking moronic.
>The raid is actually about a third of the runtime
no it isn't the movie is like 2 and a half hours long and it starts about 2 hours in. quarter max
movie just meanders for so long without being engaging, and i get that's the factual plot but look at actual kino like zodiac for comparison
Funniest part is the movie was almost "done" before the actual BIn Laden raid, then the raid happened so they had to add it to the movie
Terrible movie
Motherfricker you should wash your mouth before you speak about the woman who gave us The Loveless, Near Dark, Strange Days, Point Break and The Hurt Locker
Frick off to bed and wait for tour mother to tug you on your pokemon sheets you underage moron
Zero Dark Thirty was also a massive lie so it tracks a woman made it (and no, I'm not saying they didn't kill Bin Laden).
>American military propaganda is not completely truthful
GASP!
That movie with Adam driver, the report, was truthful
>truthful
>Any significant details = [REDACTED]
>Zero Dark Thirty
establishment propaganda about how le strong CIA glowie woman saved the day
The fake night scenes aren't great on rewatch, but strangely makes the night vision scenes look more realistic than anything else I've seen.
The fact that they address how NVGs mostly suck is a great detail that is very realistic.
you mean american/western military?
Women directors who enjoy the subject of men actually do amazing work when allowed to go all out. Something about the outside perspective mixed with genuine love creates to conditions for true kino.
Bryce Dallas Howard directed the best episodes of Nu-Wars, in fact they're pretty much the only ones worth watching.
there might be something to this. Point Break is directed by Bigelow and a testosterone charged action adventure classic.
meanwhile David Lynch made Mulholland Drive, a completely female dominated movie and one of the best received movies of the 2000s. Girls love that movie
I'm trying to remember a few other examples I noticed recently. But it's nearly bedtime and my brain is being uncooperative.
And if you look up "shows for men with female directors" you'll get literally all the wrong answers.
I might make a thread tomorrow.
just leave and dont come back. homosexual.
Unless the director is an auteur they have very little creative input, she's just the accountable person in charge of making sure everything comes together, she's not writing or editing anything

There are women actually good at art amongst all the hoes. Very few, but they do exist.

Makes the perfect war trilogy with HBO's other two shows
>War is messy, but worth fighting for
>Band of Brothers
>War is hell
>The Pacific
>The frick is war?
>Generation Kill
>member war?
>masters of the air
HBO dumped that series because it was too white.
>War is wasting japs and boring bullshit in Australia
>The Pacific
the weakest of the three by far
You didn't connect with the characters like in BoB. The Sledgehammer arc was the best part but tbh for the war in the pacific they should have focused more on naval engagements. Still lightyears better than modern HBO trash.
>Im killin japs
>that scene were sledge cant even enjoy his ritual hunting trip with his father because he killed so many japs he couldn’t stand the sight of any more death
went so extreme it broke him
same thing with lucky
>walked out of some musical of ww2
>"thats bullshit i have to tell the real story"
BoB is too much of a feelgood type show for me to take it seriously. It's essentially following the travels of a group of merry men as they walk across Europe whereas in the Pacific, the character who most resembles Dick Winters gets his brains blown out unceremoniously offscreen.
That's cold.
BoB is probably the best thing to ever be on TV.
Not saying it's bad, the battle scenes are great and the cinematography is tops and I'd say better than the pacific. but the quippiness and the bants with the lads makes for a decidedly lighthearted tone. I mean the fricking show ends with a baseball game and some sappy narration, even.
yeqah it's a spielberg production he tends to end his movies like that.
But they're real guys. I think that erases all that. I normally hate Spielberg sappiness too but the first time we watched it when I was a teenager, my old hardass dad and I had to just stare straight at the TV once the ending documentary scenes started trying not to cry. It's not sappy or light hearted, they're real people.
I really liked the end of the Pacific when sledge comes home and can't adjust. Really good stuff
Yeah the part where sledge goes hunting with his Dad and starts freaking the frick out as they're walking through the woods was really well done.
it's a single source covering a relatively short period focusing on a single company in the more well known conventional theatre vs the complete opposite. whatever else less of challenge to hammer into a narrative.
I always get this confused with that old FX show Over There.

Direction wasn't important in the film; it simply needed to be functional. The heart of it is the story which is based on a book. David Simon and company adapted it very well.
What film?
meant the series. my bad.
Seems like an honest mistake, no harm done.
Reminder there is an entire scene dedicated to telling you religion is bad
which scene
I know, I wanted to see why you feel that scene is anti religion.
not the offended anon. he's probably left the thread.
no there isn't. there's just one scene when ray sarcastically uses colbert's atheism as an excuse to not go pray. because he's a smartass.
>a scene featuring atheists means THE SHOW IS ANTIRELIGION REEEEEE
Who gives a shit?
why do zoomies have panic attacks over seeing things they don't agree with?
You mean that scene with the homosexual who refuses to carry a gun?
so what? lmfao you chuds really are the new snowflakes.
>the left are the real racists!
shit bait
why would that be bait, it's just a statement of fact.
>fact
did i stutter?
Yes
there are men in the trees
you should read the book, there is a ton of stuff that happens in the book that isn't in the show.
I haven't read the book but I can confirm the original Rolling Stone article is fantastic. I miss good writing in magazines.
I'll try to find a page about sixta it was so fricking funny. Give me a few.
there's a bunch of them. he never actually names sixta in the book. he's just referred to as the coward of khadafi or something like that.
Nate Fick's book is pretty good too, covers his officer bootcamp, SERE training and his deployment to Afghanistan.
Officers are morons, not gonna read that homosexual's book
you took a break from eating crayons to post this trash?
>t. moronic officer
Fick's book fills in a lot of backstory for the series and shows the kind of missions these guys really trianed for. It makes how pissed of they are at their role in invasion make way more sense to have that comparison.
that's sentiment is stated by multiple characters throughout the show
I know like the "ferraris in a demolition derby" line. but I didnt really know what that "real recon mission" theyre always talking about would have looked like until I read Fick's book
Espera and Kocher both outright say they were trained for actual recon missions, and in Afghanistan they were doing actual recon missions. Like they dont hint at it or beat around the bush, they outright say it.
Fick is such a fricking good writer. Book was so engaging. Also love the part where a lady from the university he's applying to calls him for clarification on what he said in Generation Kill- "The good news is we get to kill people", and he just says no, I can't clarify it.
> the kind of missions these guys really trianed for
Which was?
They were really meant to operate in very small teams down to 3 men usually on foot behind enemy lines with much more focus on stealth and intel gathering than anything they ever get to do in the show.
Yeah they talk about recon missions a lot but they never describe what that is or just how different that would be from they are doing
autism. nahhh ESL. yep that's it. ESL.
Im just saying Ficks book gives some extra perspective on just how far the role they ended up playing in Iraq was from what they thought it would be
I fricking found it. This wasnt in the show.
Now I want to read the book, but I'm a poorgay, will have to pirate, I guess
Support your local library or use their digital catalog
Can't. Too many black people where I live and I don't have a library card.
Damn good luck out there
Thanks. I'll be okay, I look like a grizzled old veteran but they don't know that I was only in the Air Force and never killed anybody
download Libby
lmfao
i wish i couldve took part in the invasion just to be a part of ray's vehicle
> just to be a part of ray's vehicle
Let me guess, the seat?
seat, trunk, horn, human armor for the vehicle
anything just to hear those cracks
old women understand young men
THAT VIRGINITY WASN'T HERS TO LOSE
JAMES MATTIS WAS A b***h. HES A HACK AND A FRAUD, HES A GLORY SEEKING HOUND.
can straight white men even say homosexual on HBO anymore?
What are your best book recommendations? I want some comfy iraq reads please.
If you want books on Iraq, the best two I know of are Generation Kill and One Bullet Away
Thank you

most kino ending of any show or film
