Quote HistoryQuoted: I absolutely love movies. Huge fan of the medium and the stories people can tell through it. Most modern American cinema is dog shit now. It's either super hero bullshit (and I liked the marvel 10 year build up to end game, but I'm done with it), or virtue signaling fluff. There are no real compelling stories anymore. Studios won't take risks on good stories. They'll only go for easy money in remakes or known franchises. Shit like the Oscars and their stupidity just makes me even less interested in products coming out of Hollywood. It's a god damn shame, really. Everything good is now coming out of Korea, Spain, and Russia oddly enough. Movies that are story first. Movies that don't give a fuck if you're offended. You just have to read subtitles. Korea is really killing it lately. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Last movie I saw in the theater was The Mule. I can't really see myself going to see anything being produced nowadays.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Mule was pretty good. Love Clint. Don't watch Cry Macho. It's...dumb. Like a half assed attempt at recreating Gran Torino, but with an illegal immigrant instead. It was...dumb. The best American cinema happened between the 60s and the early 2000s. 40 years of good stories. I worked for the guy Clint based that character (the Mule) on.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My brother and I discussed it. I think Leo started back with the cartel back when we were working there. We used to sell vacation packages all over Mexico. There is no way he worked for decades in Mexico and then after his travel agency (and airline) failed he just happened to get hooked up with drug runners at a random party. The flower shop was what he had left after the company we worked for collapsed. Kind of Leo's side hustle. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Saw your edit. That's pretty crazy.

Quote HistoryQuoted: We, the Russian Army, initially planned to acquire 2,300 T-14s between 2015 and 2020. Production and fiscal shortfalls delayed this to 2025, and then to the apparent cancellation of the main production run. However, as of 2021, we still expect the Armata to begin serial production in 2022. Right after we finish Ukraine off, so like never |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: They haven't been deployed to nearly as many conflicts as the T72 but a bunch of A2s were lost in Yemen by the Saudi's, destroyed by Houthi rebels In gulf war 1 IIRC none were lost to direct enemy fire. A number have been lost in Afghanistan to IEDs but its not many, maybe 20 tops? I am not sure tbh but it isn't a lot I don't remember reading about a tank killing an Abrams either. May have happened but I haven't come across it There were definitely some mobility kills in OIF. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Know what I appreciate? Paragraphs. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I found the director did a really good job of juxtapositioning our innate need as humans and social beings to have a higher morality to shield us from our base and ugly (and unfortunately unstoppable) desire to kill and our celebration of death even though we know it is wrong. This conflict was beautifully played out in the character of Wardaddy and the dialectic struggle he endured trying to come to terms with what he had done to his fellow man on the battlefield, the horrors he had seen inflicted upon the innocent, and what he knew that he will continue to do against the Germans. His struggle was visualized by the characters of his tank crew and each one represented a phase, frame of mind or mode of thinking that he was battling with internally. In essence they weren't actually real but instead were windows into the cracked refraction of his tortured soul as he suffered through the dicotomy of doing his duty but also murdering his fellow man. The scene selection followed a progressive path as he vainly tried to make sense of his actions and his place in the universe knowing that he had assuredly defied the will of his creator, the ultimate judge of our higher morality, and was most certainly going to hell for his actions. The hell was not in the spiritual sense specifically, it was the hell of torment that his own soul felt because of his actions, and that torment was manifested in his decision to sacrifice himself to defend the crossroads as an atonement for his sins and as him begging for forgiveness to himself for what he had done. It was a dark and poignant movie with beautiful undertones of humanity, humility and regretfulness surrounded by rage, anger and the carnage of war All that I can really appreciate, but the fucking tank tactics were donkey dick bad Know what I appreciate? Paragraphs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That tank looks a lot like the Aurora MBT 70 (Main Battle Tank) model tank that was offered in the 1970s. Was supposed to be nuclear, biological, and chemical survivable, able to operate submerged long enough to cross any river in Europe, and leap tall building in a single bound. Don't remember the specifics on the cannon, but vaguely remember something like the Shelleagh system used on the Marines Sheridan Tank. Wire guided munitions and able to fire ballistic shells as well. Apparently there were a couple of iterations including one that was developed in partnership with the Germans. As is still typical in military design and procurement to this day.............. over hyped, over budget, was never gonna happen etc. One source says only 12 or so were made.

That whole era of military procurement was a disaster in many ways. MBT70 was cancelled because it was wildly overcomplicated, the SGT York AA system was a complete fraud, the F111 program was a logistics disaster and it never really did all the things they promised. We got really lucky to get the Abrams in service because congress was cancelling everything and anything that seemed far fetched or at all risky because the procurement process had been giving away billions but getting nothing in return.
