Having said that, the thing that was most unrealistic for me was when he napped the chinese guy with that airplane device… Like that wouldnt just straight up rip your arms off having a plane grab you like that. But like I said, you have to suspend disbelief for a few hours when you go see these movies so they can ratchet up the badass a bit.[/quote]

SkyHook was a legit CIA project back in the '70s. Dick Marcinko wrote about it in his autobiography Rogue Warrior.

It looks like the best ride ever.

  1. I was going to say that^.

  2. I can’t believe anyone else would admit to reading Marcinko. That series got pretty crappy after Red Cell.

Wasn’t that skyhook thing employed in a John Wayne movie? I think it might have been “The Green Berets.”

I like all the books. Quick, easy reads, and I appreciate his humor. They have gone downhill a little since Weisman left the series though.

No doubt. Plus, it allows for more merchandising. They are making money hand over fist on this one. I only hope their next sequel doesn’t fall beneath these last two.

I hate waiting until december, but hopefully iron man and Hulk will be released before that.

Makes Sense. Bastards.

Iron Man is supposedly coming out 30th of September and The Hulk on the 25th of November.

Plus, it depends on the special features they plan on including on the disc(s) or if they release it with an extended version, etc.[/quote]

I might have to go Blu-ray for Iron Man and The Dark Knight…

You and me both prof, I see dollar signs in WB’s eyes which scares me, but i have enough respect for Nolan and the actors to know they wouldnt do a third one unless it was done right
