What a shock: Hollywood pushing back at "The Sniper"

As an accurate portrayal of Chris Kyle, I thought it fell very short.

As an accurate portrayal of the toll of war on an individual and his loved ones, I thought the "Hurt Locker" was better, but this was good, too.

I don't think it purports to be pro- or anti-war. It accepts that war just ... is .. and, with that out of the way, focuses on the real subject, not unlike "Unbroken" does, which is the experience of an individual soldier.

I can understand why some consider that a cop-out, although "Hurt Locker" didn't tackle the big question head-on, either.

You can't make this stuff up

 

I wouldn't begin to know how to download a movie from the Internet.

Someone had a copy.

 

I think it's obvious that Dick is a voting member of the Academy, and was sent a screener.

 

Nah, he just knows Brody.

 

I wonder how much of Brody's candy Dick ate.

 

This might be my favorite post ever.
