Captain Phillips

[Nativetribe]

Has anybody watched Captain Phillips yet? The wife and I have been wanting to go see it, but I just wonder if Hollywood will wussify the Navy Seals or put their own liberal spin on the whole event. In that case I will only be pissed as to have wasted 20 bucks.

I have not watched it. The news release on it brought back into question of the 300K that was missing and blamed the Seals and whined about the pirates being shot to rag dolls instead of so called surgical head shots. Those men and others like them as well as their support teams do a hard job most will never know, understand or appreciate and I hope the movie does them justice.
Looking forward to hearing about it. I wont see it till it hits the $1 deal

awesome.

go see it..

at several points i'd give a little whoop and go to clapping.
thinking that others would join me.
they didn't.
until right at the end.

a fellow that was probably kin to some of the pirates was behind me. (except that it looked like he'd eaten about 3 of them!)
my chair got a good kick at the end.
i'd just made a good proclamation about the activities and a comment that skinny should be hanged.,
as I stood and turned to check on the kicker... he commented with an agreement about the show.
we grinned at each other. I thanked him and we all walked away.
maybe the kick was accidental? I don't think so..

I wonder if our leadership would authorize this action now.

it seemed realistic to me. especially seeing Phillips in the med ward at the end.
he'd been through a lot.
2 thumbs up from me.
