Aren't you genetically programmed to kill any golfer you come within a hundred yards of?

Agreed. It's generally a way to lionize troops, and by extension the military, but on a deeper level it's a way to indulge in our instincts to be Grecian heroes who gain glory by combat. Which is kind of interesting to take in if you make a point of not buying into the jingoism. It's just a basic part of human nature that's intriguing to imbibe.

Who cares if it's propaganda so long as it's entertaining cinema? Being opposed to the reason the movie exists is all well and good, but that **** stills hits a spot that, like I've already said, taps into a part of our human nature that is satisfying.

Saving Private Ryan is most definitely overly long and filled with cheese, but can you not derive entertainment from the D-Day scene or the last battle? I mean that part when they get past the machine guns on D-Day and up to the first bunker, send some dudes up to get past and lay down covering fire is just a beast with the sound engineering. So ****ing loud and awesome.

Wait how does that apply to Waiting for Ryan to Stop Playing With his Privates?

Eh it's alright but I don't go to movies for action scenes.

Not yet; I've charitably opted to spare humanity and MB for now.

Why not when it's an action movie? Action scenes can be great.

They definitely can be (example: the bear mauling scene in The Revenant), but they lose their power for me when they're put into a ****ty context of a film.

Stay away from private courses. Public courses aren't a problem later in the day when the golf traffic winds down.

Yes, stay away from golf courses. You don't want to associate with that ilk.

Since 1993..... Once again, your reading comprehension skills are ****ed up.

The number of MMA fans I know is slightly larger than the number of times you've wanked off thinking about girls you'd never stand a chance with in the real world.
