Here's something odd, Tye Dillenger, Baron Corbin, and Tyler Breeze have their own game streaming channel called "The Sweetz", and they've released their own merch on ProWrestlingTees.

I'm surprised WWE would allow them to do that.

Corbin might get in trouble. Doubt Vince knows who the other two are.

Fury is shit, a retarded attempt to create a masculine ideal and a rejection of the Opum character in SPR that is so shit Pitt literally leads dozens to die meaninglessly over and over to make this point. Malick is an all over the board director, he takes great risks and usually fails (like in TRR) but when he hits with films like Tree of Life you get why he still gets funding.

SPR is a masterpiece in my book, it doesn't even need the Omaha landing scene. The Big Red One was one of the biggest disappointments in cinema to me, outside of the immensely moving (and gripping) scene at the concentration camp the hodgepodge of moments amount to almost nothing.

Thanks for the list even if I disagree about The Big Red One which I think is Spielberg copying into SPR.

I really liked the bit in Fury where Brad is vomiting from stress. Haven’t seen that in a war movie.

The last half is BS. It’s 1945. Unless they were advancing into a town or bridge and sometimes if they were, US and Brit troops would sit down and call down arty and aircraft on a position (wisely) when they saw opposition. The war was over and nobody wanted to die. Even a single sniper could get a village demolished. You see 200 Waffen SS, you pull back and send some fighter bombers or 155mm or even better 8” on them. Because they ain’t got nothing better to do anyway and the fighter pilots are shooting up German cows literally.

When Trumpets Fade. Another good film about a situation where the US troops were basically in a mini Vietnam of their own making but in the Hurtgen Forest. Like a mini Apocalypse Now. Same year as SPR.

Fury also had the problem that all the desperate defensive European American WW2 battles had already been done in film. Kesselring Pass and Sicily landings in Big Red, SPR even though I don’t like it covers Normandy plus the Longest Day plus Band of Brothers, also there’s the Battle of the Bulge film and The Bridge At Remagen (good film):

Except I don’t think anybody has done a movie about Anzio. Have Brad Pitt fight his tank against the Germans with railway guns smashing everything around him.
 
Joe looks like he belongs on 205 Live.

Just like where a dude agrees to give his ass to the platoon sergeant because of possible benefits in the book?

We get it, you read the book. Which is somehow relevant in a discussion about the movie.

I’m actually with you in this one. The whole second half was pointless and just took me out of the movie. So Pitt was willing to die and kill his whole crew just for personal pride? Then his crew was willing to go along with it just because they were a team? When they all know the war is won and almost over. Just didn’t jive with me
