The Raven Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You guys missed the two biggest movies of the year Avengers The hobbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Really! well, i am surprised. I stand corrected. thank you. but, did they really fly against 262s, attack trains and then drop bombs on ships. It all smells of 'exaggeration' to me. Must admit I had to look this up but the 332nd fighter group did indeed escort bombers over Europe during the latter part of WW2. According to the Wikipedia page there was also a ground attack squadron and a bomber group which saw less, if any, action. There's already been one film on the subject: "The Tuskegee Airmen" starring Lawrence "Morpheus" Fishbourne. Its been a while since I last saw it.

SupraStar 3000 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Ed always gets a tear in his eye when he sees a Black Beauty galloping away. APrpsM3VOAI I'm really looking forward to this. Looks awesome. Wanted to see the play at the theater, but so far, haven't had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wrath of the Titans The hobbit Chronicles They do it for me but all the films here look great. Oh, does anyone know if the invisible electricity monster film has been released yet? Wanted to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I saw that advertised on Sunday. It was put on as a kind of viral though which I didn't like. Seems like they are going to be ramming it down our throats soon enough. That's what would put me off, massive hype for an average film - does look good though. This looks quite good too....reminds me of Black Beauty. Haven't seen the play or book, so the film should be a lot better than it really should be to me.

Digsy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 but, did they really fly against 262s, attack trains and then drop bombs on ships. It all smells of 'exaggeration' to me. They did encounter 262s, There was an episode of "Dogfights" (an American documentary which is sometimes shown on Sky in a revised form with an English voiceover). You can watch the US version here. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1427095596055235252 The 262 encounter starts at about 32 mins.

Rob Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've not watched that link, but if its the same one I saw, a guy did recount his tale of downing one 262 and scaring off another, but certainly not by being on its tail as was shown in that clip. A Mustang could never stay with a 262, the old pilot described a series of very clever (to me) moves to be able to draw fire on the filthy hun.

Digsy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The documentary claims three 262s shot down in that mission, three "probables" and two damaged. Does seem a lot for one mission, but hey, fog of war and all that. At least its not totally made up. Hollywood revisionist history film producers are bound to sex-up to a certain extent. Dogfights are supposed to be exciting to watch. I saw a programme years back interviewing a WW2 pilot about his fights with 262s and he said you attacked them by trying to "get in thier way" as the speed difference was too great for a chase. I doubt a cavalry horse would jump over a tank lengthwise, either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Prometheus, By Ridley Scott, a prequel to the film "Alien" trailer looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Prometheus, By Ridley Scott, a prequel to the film "Alien" trailer looks good. If it's directed by Ridley Scott, it has to be good. Also, anything with Charlize Theron gets my vote. QIXY_x3kwLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staples230uk Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just seen the Prometheus trailer........massive alien(s/3/resurrection) fan so I'm really looking forward to this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just seen the Prometheus trailer........massive alien(s/3/resurrection) fan so I'm really looking forward to this! Me too. Charlize Theron gets her kit off by the looks of it! (Oh dear, what a blokey thing to say). I'm sure there'll be scantily clad men in it too, for the ladies, and Ed.

BOB B Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Big fan of the first two Alien films and this has all the right ingredients to be a great film, I just hope they don't make it too nicey, to capture all the market, it would be good if it had some of the first movies suspense as well as action. No body has mentioned "Battleship" yet, the trailer looks ok, but that may be the sum total of the good bits, and it may just be another " how the Americans saved the world again" film, hope not.

tbourner Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What's Prometheus got to do with Alien? I've only seen Alien and Aliens, wasn't really paying attention with Aliens either. Looks good though, so does Battleship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 That looks pretty good, a lot of fairly good actors and a couple of good ones and plenty of action and a fit girl, what more can we ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
