... though come to think of it, that would be a fun movie. A neo-British Empire, finally teaching those upstart colonials, who obviously can't be trusted to run Detroit, anyway.   :D

There was a joke in South Park to that effect.  The US was going to be invaded by its biggest enemy...

Isn't the notion of "Red Dawn" a trifle ... dated? Even when it came out the first time, the Cold War was more or less over; now, it's like that exciting movie "When Redcoats Attack!", where a plucky group of high school students fend off the attempt to reform the British Empire over the ashes of Detroit ...

They could use the Chinese or just make it straight up Alt-Hist and set in the 80s.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Dammit.

Quotewhen their town is invaded -- this time by Chinese and Russian soldiers.

Well, that totally fucks one of the coolest lines in the original movie.

For some reason this movie seems to be passing under the radar - it is only playing on a couple of screens in this city, and not many have even heard of it. It's a shame, because I thought it was very good - though obviously I'm in no position to judge.

Indeed. It's only playing in one theater in my area, which happens to be located in a super-swank mall in a neighborhood that's a little too high priced for most people I've ever known.  :lol:

Good movie though. Needs to come out on more screens.

I guess the US would be responsible for the decrease in screaming Chinamen.
PDH!

G.I. Joe.  Not the movie of the year, but excellent entertainment.  Got free tickets to see it, so it's well worth the price :P
Would recommend waiting for the Blu-Ray expanded edition with 5hrs of extra for everyone else :P

Blu-Ray is indeed very good at faithfully reproducing CGI crapfests  :D

One would certainly hope so.

Currently on FX: Epic movie. It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. With 900 dead Indians scattered around.

Hell, Bhopal was funnier.

I keep trying to change the channel, and a voice in my head keeps telling me not to change it, and to see how awful it will get.

I wonder if Kal Penn put this on his resume when he applied at the White House.

All those '... Movies' are aimed at preteen boys.  I'm sure if you were twelve, or had an IQ of less than 80, you'd be shitting your pants with laughter.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Airplane! style parodies are aimed at an older audience.
