mtnrgr Posted January 17, 2002 Posted January 17, 2002 This has nothing to do with climbing, but this is the spray forum. EVERYONE must see Black Hawk Down. I just saw it with my Battallion this morning. It was the most accuate portrayal of my brothers' and my life as Hollywood can make. I felt the same way I did when I first saw Saving Private Ryan (another Ranger movie). Hopefully, this film will shed light for the general public on what happend on 03 Oct 1993, and why 19 men gave there lives. Quote
Sean_Halling Posted January 17, 2002 Posted January 17, 2002 Did they have a private showing for you guys? I'll be at the first showing tomorrow for sure. Quote
mtnrgr Posted January 17, 2002 Author Posted January 17, 2002 Yup. Quite the sight an entire theartre filled with hooahs in spits and starches at Tacoma Mall Quote
panther Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 Battalion is only spelled with one L. You better get that right before you go to the board Ranger. Stand at the rigid position of Parade Rest when you read my postings! Quote
Sean_Halling Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 What you wouldn't know Panther (you bastard) is that Battalion spelled with two L's, is a secret code-word for all Hoo-ahs out there. I would let you know what it means but I don't really like you. Now you need to low crawl yourself on down to Benning and take a Ranger refresher course. Take Smoky with you. When you read my messages you better be Koalifying. Quote

Sean_Halling Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 Anybody know if the Cinerama is gonna play the movie? If so I'm gonna make the trip in to downtown to see it tomorrow. You can even come and buy my ticket Panther....you just can't sit next to me. Quote
panther Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 Speak softly and carry your combat patch ...well damn...since Benning is right down the road and Dahlonega is next door maybe I'll stop over and see if there's any M-4's laying around for the taking... I know Caveman has a few crusty pics of ops conducted in Mogadishu but I think he went climbing with Grandpa Fred this weekend. Quote
Sean_Halling Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 I just saw it. Besides all the inaccuracies and changes you would expect out of Hollywood, I liked it. Unfortunately it was not playing at the Cinerama. If it goes there I will definitely go see it again. I think I will have to have a muster of all my hoo-ah buddies and storm the Cinerama! Quote
Wopper Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 Saw it today. Of course Hollywood screwed with parts, but overall a damn good movie. Quote
Dru Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 I heard the whole film was funded by goarmy.com Quote
mikeadam Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 Well if anyone really GOT the film, I would think they would be seriously considering raising their GPA's and getting their ass into GLU (Get Laid University). After a few rounds whip past your head you REALLY begin regretting ditching algebra class in the 10th grade. Quote
Dru Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 unless you went to columbine in which case a few rounds probably did whip by your head in 10th grade algebra.... Quote
