my one wish for this movie, which will not come true, is that it has a scene in which an A-10 blows up some F-35s on a runway before they can scramble
also if a little boy yells “get 'em, warthog!”
also if the F-35s have israeli livery

“confusingly anti-semitic scene in pentagon-funded action movie leads public to wonder: is this a sophisticated critique of military procurement and imperial hegemony, or is tom cruise the new mel gibson?”

I saw the Black Christmas remake. I haven’t seen the original, but this one was pretty enjoyable. It uses a classic, broad horror treatment to discuss issues relating to college campus rape culture. It STRONGLY feels like it was written in 2015 when this issue really hit national news (there’s a satire of YikYak called YipYap that slots perfectly into the Halloween-style slasher-stalking-victims runup).
It’s about sorority girls dealing with a really rapey frat on their campus (DEKE, which seemed appropriate, their chapter on my campus was like that too). The frat is using occult magic driven by the ghost of the school’s founder to instill murderous toxic masculinity in their members. Infused with the power of patriarchy, they attack the sorority. Eventually, the remaining girls team up across sororities to fight back and take them down.
I thought it was fun. Apparently it has really low ratings on the internet because sexist dudes are having a fit about it. What else is new?

It also tweaked the “Final Girl” formula to work in a non-sexist way, so I enjoyed that too. As soon as I saw she was named Riley in typical androgynous final-girl fashion, I thought they were sticking to the traditional formula. But as the film goes forward, her character is not carefully formulated to allow male viewers to identify with her. She is allowed to be a realistic woman, and her empowerment at the end is not her taking on male characteristics to succeed, it’s her succeeding as a woman.

Ok I watched this without sound at work but I can’t imagine what it could actually be about, geopolitically. Who are we dogfighting? The ISIS Air Battalion?
I hope by the second trailer they reinstate Kenny Loggins and reveal a sexually-charged recreational activity, preferably on a beach.
Won’t happen.

though I really would prefer to see the movie in which “maverick” is a procurement specialist gone rogue who tries to perform penetration testing with heavy ordinance

on the one hand, yes
on the other hand, the F-18 just doesn’t have the same visual presence as the F-14
I don’t like it, is what I’m saying
Yeah well I like f-16 so…oh well…
Also, F-22 are super goddam sweet up close. They really do look and “feel” like a leap over F-15. And they way the can fly is nutso. I do miss being able to stroll past those things at work. Its too bad they can’t have a variety in the film.

I storyboarded this further in the shower today and I decided it would be better if it were actually a homeless veteran who cheered on the A-10
also if he could somehow be talked into trying to do a barrel roll in the thing and just slowly pitches sideways while yelling “never give up! trust your instincts!”

This should be the airplane version of the Battleship movie where the climax is dusting off a P-51 cause it’s the only thing that can beat the aliens

someone did not scrub back over the final quick-cut slurry!
it would seem that now we are playing with the boys… and also with the girls!
a bold co-ed beach sporting interlude for the 21st century military industrial complex!
