Concur.
It's nice to be reminded of a time when most black Americans were Republicans, the Germans were evil, and Cadillac of the skies was not an insult.

United States of Tara. Entertaining.

I thought the trailer was pretty good.  Maybe Lucas can manage not to fuck this one up.  Although, a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen without Laurence Fishburne just doesn't sit right with me.

I thought the trailer looked like every other lifeless CGI air combat movie made.  And the scene with the good guys blowing a German cruiser to shit with their 50 cals does not bode well for historical accuracy.

I'm watching an episode of the Undercover Boss USA.
hmm....
Its OK, like the British one, but....the way it shows everything that happens before it actually does just sucks. "Coming up: This, that, this, now watch!"

The first series certainly is, I had a struggle with the most  recent one though.

Same as Californication really.

Hopefully they at least get the part about the Tuskegee Airmen destroying Hitler's Me 262 fleet in aerial combat right.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Can you guys fucking believe they are remaking Red Tails with gangsta niggers?

Anyone watch Shameless? It's an American version of a British series, I think. Which explains why it's so gritty. The US version, for once, hasn't seemed to bring it down to pander to the American audience. Last night's episode featured a masturbating two year old. :huh:

Is it a network or cable show? Because that doesn't sound particularly outre for cable.

Yeah, its good.
A lot darker than the British one even. The British one though it deals with the same rather  dark stuff does so in a far more openly comedic manner.
The British one has gotten unwatchable the past few series, I used to rather like it though.

The American version doesn't have anything as tasty as that Brit chick cop.

The main chick, the eldest daughter, in the American series is pretty cute. And the young sex-addict blondie as well.
