He shouldn't have lied. He was goaded into naming someone famous during the interviews.

Simon West can't direct for shit today. Not to say he was a prodigy of the art but he's not that good anymore.

So any movie that is pro military is bad, but do we really need another anti miltary liberal message movie? I will be watching this movie when it comes out for sure.

What are the anti military flicks? Not that I watch many military related flicks.

I know Bay portrays them well. Hell, they love him. Damn good business he's got with them.

You perplex me, Satoshi. You are a paradox wrapped in a conundrum. I find it impossible to pin down your tastes.

Pixar war movies are pretty anti-war.

Glorifying a delusional psychopathic sniper who killed hundreds of people and seemed to enjoy it is not synonymous with "pro military" I think there are also far more pro military and even pro war movies than "anti" movies.

He boasted about killing people, practically enjoyed it and didn't have a problem telling you that. Read his autobiography.

If the film itself is as intense as that trailer it'll be a pretty great movie! Unfortunately, after his last few outings I don't have much faith that Eastwood as a director can pull it off. Looks fantastic otherwise though.

His last real solid one was Gran Torino... wasn't THAT long ago. I enjoyed Invictus for what it was.

Yea...6 years. Which isn't that long for a director. Sometimes that can be the break between 2 films. He's done like 5 since then.

Clint Eastwood isn't a young man anymore. Directing films can be an 18-hour a day job, if he wanted some rest, I can hardly blame him.
