Listener of the Streets

Listener of the Streets (6/7)

  1. Fascinating guy. His appearance on Rogan was interesting. His extreme confidence in his ideas is slightly disconcerting but interesting none-the-less....
  2. But what fun can you have without running around with your hair on fire screaming that the rapture is happening because players keep disappearing???.....
  3. Must've missed it when the Yankees won the World Series every year and the Cardinals never have.......
  4. We don't know the details.......go jump off a bridge if you want but I'll wait and see what happens next.......
  5. MASH didn't seem like leftwing Hollywood claptrap when I was young. It's almost unwatchable now. Saving Private Ryan just underwhelmed me. The landing scenes were brutal but seemed pathetically small in scale. I also didn't buy the premise of the whole movie. They had radios and trucks and jeeps and messengers and I just couldn't buy sending Rangers to find one guy. I know it was very loosely based on a true story but I don't believe they sent Rangers for the guy........I love Tom Hanks and wish he'd have been sent to blow up a bridge instead of saving Matt Damon.....
  6. Cornelius Ryan wrote that and a Bridge too far. Both were hollywood blockbusters with amazing casts. A Bridge Too Far with Gene Hackman as Major General Sosabowski was just too sad to be a super popular movie. I know it was a Hollywood movie but Ryan was Irish and both made Montgomery look like a pompous a-hole......
  7. After all the napalm there is a scene where a deer wanders onto the silent battlefield.......I remember my dad, who didn't drop f-bombs lightly, saying "A f'ing deer."
  8. This may go against the grain but "The Longest Day" is the best D-day movie. I was expecting to be blown away by Saving Private Ryan but the scale of the invasion was at the sub-unit level. I was expecting the horizon covered with ships that the Germans in The Longest Day saw and had to contend with.....
  9. Greyhound with Tom Hanks is on Apple+ if you want the flipside of Das Boot. Pretty good movie.....
  10. A little embarrassed......not sure if it's the same guy and too much of a puss to find out.....But a kid I grew up with was Paul Gosden.....I knew he was a Marine and never though to catch up with him. We'd always dreamed of being pilots as kids and it looks like he made it as Paul "Goose " Gosden. Chopper pilot with all sorts of action in the mideast.......God love him and keep him safe.....
  11. George C Scott......Great as Patton.......first saw him in Taps......Timothy Hutton......Sean Penn.....Tom Cruise......good stuff.......
  12. That movie was good enough to turn Greg Kinnear into a badass as Snakeshit........
