I guess we just have irreconcilable differences then. There's a magic to a properly choreographed action scene (of any sort) that connects on a primal level. There's a sort of rhythm that's much like a well-executed metal or hardcore song that just drags you along and "hits" at the right spots in the right manner to feel like a dance or something. Kind of hard to explain just like how a Slayer song is hard to explain in how the inertia and violence connects with you.

What did I miss, that you like MMA? That just proves my point.

Spoken like a true MMA fan.

How does BOT4J do that? The scenes where the veterans are jumping every time the fireworks go off in the parade? The protests by the vets against the war? Cruise's mother refusing to believe he shot babies? How does that lionize troops? How is that anything but anti-war?

@Frownland (cause I'm honestly interested in how our approaches to action scenes differ)

I don't disagree but a great action scene is not enough for me to get behind a bad movie like Saving Private Ryan.

I don't know what movie you're talking about so I can't say, but in general those movies, even the anti-war ones, often carry water for soldiers so that anti-war messages become pro-veteran messages, which encourage you to "support the troops", which puts it into your brain that you should support their wars as well. Not all war movies are like that obviously, and generally the ones that aren't are the more controversial, but in general if a war movie has a battle scene that can be described as "cool" then you should probably be leery of its intentions, even if the intended intentions aren't jingoistic.

Chula, I already know that you like all popular media. You can keep it to yourself now.
