That comment I made was in reference to Die Hard 4. I have no idea how it wound up here. But the Rambo trailer was awesome. And I just learned that Burmese people explode when added to water.

I just saw the trailer, saw your post in the diehard thread and copypasted =D Clever, innit?

But I gotta say, there's something not right about this trailer. The typography is subpar at best, which makes no difference, but adds to the "fakeness"-feeling of it. Because; are ANY trailers allowed to show larynxes being ripped out and such?
Kickass tho, and that's all that matters. Violence is underrated.

I hope action movies can return to the ultra violence they had in the 1980s.

Hey! I liked that movie! :evil: And technically he made all of them, btw.

I don't think they were any more violent back then compared to now.

You've never seen Commando, then.

I would (partially) disagree. While the level of violence in films has not changed much since the early-to-mid '70's, I would like you to see films like Jeremiah Johnson, Excalibur, '70's and even some '80's martial arts films, as well as horror/slasher flicks of the same era and I would argue that filmmakers, as well as most of the entertainment industry, were just a little more daring (and honestly original :( ) back then. However, it is a hell of lot easier to get your hands on assorted smut today, which I think has lead to confusion.

This flick smells like anti-Chinese propaganda.
In my case, I refuse to go easy on the ignorant, regardless of degree. Hitler was ignorant. Joshua C. Whatshisface is ignorant. To me, they're in the same category of ignorant and stupid people who should have been left in some isolated corner of the world where they couldn't bother anyone. --The Eva Monkey

He already fought the Commies twice before, so I hope they are doing something different this time.

If that turns out to be the case this time, I would be surprised. The only major anti-China story covered in the West in recent memory was Tiananmen Square and the "Tank Man". And with the advent of the China lobby in the last few decades, it is very surprising someone in the U.S. media would dare to criticize "the People's Republic".
