Title: The Hurt Locker on DVD/BluRay Tues.
Post by: twyacht on January 10, 2010, 05:16:23 PM
For those that haven't seen it, or maybe not even heard of it. I made a previous post when it was on the big screen, and it is one to rent on DVD. It was nominated for Best Director, and a couple others, but war movies, that are not mega-productions have a hard time against the sappy, mainstream, PC, Hollywood crowd.,
Tues. is the day.
Here's two trailer's.
Sniper scene, it's a much longer and graphic scene but this is a snippet.
Surround sound will be making the neighbors look twice Tues... ::)

I will be watching it. I heard great things about it, but it seemed to last about two weeks in the cinema. By the time I decided to go, it was gone. :-\ It will be a must rent next week. FQ13

Not bad for an independent movie. Awesome to see the world through EOD eyes. It definitely changes up the somewhat overused war movie formula.

Just downloaded and watched it last night. Great movie IMO! A must see for anybody that would read this forum.
My question is. How many people that watched the movie REALLY got the scene at the end with the cereal boxes??? I'm sure decorated veterans did. But I wonder what the masses took away from that... :-\

Off work a little early, picked it up on the way home. Warming up the surround sound with some tunes first,... 8)
I hope my neighbors don't think something blew up over here....

We got it this morning. I've been busy setting up Melanie's new desktop. Tomorrow mine is supposed to come. Later today they are going to deliver a new stove we bought last week. I'm hoping to watch it either tonight or tomorrow. Everything is happening at once. Bill T.

Dude! You don't have to single-handedly rescue the economy. But the effort is appreciated. ;)

We've been in need of new PC's for a while now. I learned the hard way and will NEVER buy anything with AMD in it ever again! This thing has been buggy since the first day I plugged it in. All kind of quirky stuff I've never experienced before, and never will again. Intel Quad Core in both new ones. Bill T.

Bill, from experience you can't beat an Intel 64 bit dual core Mac! Otherwise congrats on what should be a wonderfully improved way for you to post more messages here.

And let me be the first to say,"Yes, I will have fries with that."
;D
Nope, back in a Machine shop, doing the same job I was 3 years ago (The LAST time I got laid off ::) ) Same work, same money, same shift, only 30 hours a week for now but they want me to go full time with in a month or 2 .

Glad you're back at work Tom ! I got Melanie's desktop unpacked, and up and running yesterday. Mine is supposed to come today. I'll probably be off line for a few days until my Internet provider can come in and configure the new router and modem to both new PC's. But it will be worth the wait. I'll still have Internet by way of Melanie's laptop and my old router and modem until I get everything hooked up and configured.
After I'm done with all of this I.T. business, I'm going to take Mel's Toshiba laptop and use it for all of my gun stuff. I want to catalog everything, and keep a lot of my handload recipes in it. I'm hoping to find some software that's easy to run that is more or less designed for that sort of thing. I know there is a lot out there, but I haven't had the time to really research it. That's another project for yet another day. I have to "work on" computers a little at a time. They drain too much of my patience in one long setting! Bill T.

The cereal boxes represented the "material world". So many different boxes of the same crap. He knew his calling, he knew what he really wanted to do. Heroically, and thankfully, there are those kind of men in the sandbox right now. and remember, Afghanistan is probably worse.
Great movie, when in doubt about range, get the Barrett... you'll reach em'.
Congrats on the new stuff billt, back up with Carbonite, when these new computers die off in a couple years, it will be easier.

I've got this one hooked up, and on line, but it hasn't been easy or without issues. Melanie's is up and running as well, but I can't get her on the Internet just yet because, and this is and old story, my Internet provider, (Cox Communications), sold me a router and adapter that is not compatible with Windows 7.
So........ I call the Netgear "24/7 Tech Support Line" and wind up talking to some guy in India who I can't even understand. He gives me a web address where he says I can download the proper drivers. I go there and it dumps me into some Google site that is a complete clusterf*#k. Bottom line, I'M DONE! The Router and Adapter are going back this morning. Then I will go across the street to Best Buy and purchase something that has drivers that are compatible with Windows 7. If it doesn't say Microsoft Windows 7 on the box, I'm not buying it. Then, my cable company can send the nerds to my house and get this Space Shuttle of a nightmare up and running! Bill T.
