I liked "the wackness" so the kid that plays the new charlie sheen gets a pass with me.

I liked "the wackness"

Can I kick it?

[Guest GT_Rat]

wow.. all this negativity? Lets not rain all over the parade just yet.. I liked the transformers remake.

Some things you just know are going to suck.

[Daniel]

Can I kick it?

yes you can

I'm not really excited about this. The original has nearly as much relevance today as any remake. The original writer and director is a hard line conservative and has been blackballed in Hollywood, so maybe he just needs some money. I pray he doesn't sell out.

[Guest GT_Rat]

Is the original guy directing it or some new schmuck?

Little relevance then and less relevance now. Red Dawn was a patriotic "feel good" movie.

Russia invades, nukes our major cities, and nukes a lot of China.....but we don't make a nuke response that is capable of shutting down their invasion (much less contaminating the entire planet.) Ummmm....Yeah...RIGHT. I guess the U.S. Navy was on shore leave when that movie "happened."

But I'm sure the new version of Red Dawn will more be more accurate and won't be a "feel good" story.

Didn't see the movie did you? The invasion started with illegal immigration across the Mexican and Canadian borders. It was actually fairly plausible when it was explained.

Don't know if this is fact (since I read it on the interwebz), but I recall an interview with the director or writer where they said Red Dawn was based on an actual scenario used by the government for war games.

What I know is fact is that this movie combined with the Rambo sequels made the AK "cool" and I must admit to have watched RD about a dozen times. That 80's cheesiness combined with non-stop action makes it a must-have in the DVD collection and the AK a must-have in my gun collection.

Thought I'd help strick fight the good fight and add a visual aid:

See how you can get her picture from the interwebz for free? Now there's no reason to go drop forty bucks for you and yours to go see a crappy movie. I like her tactical mini skirt, though. Perfect for fighting off the Reds.

whats wrong with a feel good movie?

I almost prefer to a good feel.

This thread wins the "Biggest Subject Jump Ever" award.

Although, it is RED Dawn.

I wonder how they're going to do the initial take over and get it realistic. China doesn't have the equipment for overseas force projection and their navy's blue water capabilities are very limited.

Do an internal take over backed by conventional forces perhaps? This would be a very standard special operations tactic.

I did like the photo wall in the above video. It was nice of them to use the images of the members of of TGO in their movie.

Well, first, congress would surrender so they could receive special considerations from the "new order". Second, TGO and like-minded patriots would become the "new Wolverines". Third, daily guerilla attacks in a target rich environment..sounds like fun.

Are you sure that's the set of the new Red Dawn? It might be the staging area for Obama's Civilian National Security Force. The posters and such would seem to make sense."Dangerous Citizen Alert", "Worker Re-Education Facility", "Obscene Choice. A Weapon of Mass Destruction. We are Here to Help.", "Helping You Back on Your Feet", "Repairing Your Economy", "Fighting Corporate Corruption". You could probably go to any ACORN office and see at least half of these signs right now.

Joking(maybe?) aside, I'm psyched about the new Red Dawn. I am also fairly confident that they will screw it up, but I'm hoping they surprise me. I'm also curious how they will try to make a large scale invasion of the mainland United States seem plausible.

So instead of rural HS students, gangbangers are going to save us in this one?

I kept expecting to see 0bama's "HOPE" poster among the others.

It could happen one day and it's not completely laughable. If this country does fall into the bankruptcy it seems to be hurtling towards, China might just come in and say, "You know what, don't worry about paying us back. We'll just take everything west of the Rockies."

Do you think they would just accept California? That would be a pretty sweet deal for us.

Did you notice the propaganda posters in that video that more or less hinted at that theme?
