Watch this movie instead:

To think about this a bit more, this is the exact reason why when they say "civilian casualties", I don't even bash an eyelash when it comes to that part of the world. Either they're terrorists, feeding terrorists, or are terrorist sympathizers.

They should have hired Jesse Ventura to play Kyle...*that* would be a movie I'd go see.

You would be the only one in the theater.. well, you and some of the other "truthers".
Besides, he is too busy trying to say 9-11 was a inside job.

Wasn't a bad trailer, but I can't say I found it particularly intriguing. I'd probably watch the movie but I wouldn't make an effort to go see it.

How's being retarded?

You know, 'cause obviously you'd have to be a complete mental invalid to not understand that this 'hero' was just a sociopathic hillbilly douche.

And that Bradley Cooper is a douche-coated douche with a creamy douche center.

...wait, no, correction, the center is nougat.


Wow, I thought I was angry.....

I never made any comment one way or the other regarding the man's character or experiences but I'm guessing there are two sides to every story to include his. Rage on, rage on.....better yet, get some fresh air, or rub one out....whatever helps.

Well done trailer and Clint Eastwood has made excellent films.

I may not watch it on opening weekend given the source material but it's now on my radar.

Also if Chris Kyle didn't name names in interviews there wouldn't have been a lawsuit against the estate... the publishing companies insurance might just pay $1.3 million of the judgment according to the following article

http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/07/icymi-it-is-possible-to-defame-jesse-ventura/

What the media didn’t choose to cover is how difficult it is for an attorney to prove that a defendant acted with actual malice against a public figure.


As the above article stated it's extremely difficult for a famous person to win such a suit.

Bradley Cooper is fluent in French. That makes him Alpha as fuck.

What's amazing is that he taught himself French, and the Frenchies love him. You'll see billboards and advertisements with him just about everywhere in Paris.

Guess there are "Truthers" and then "Believers", the "truther" searches for answers and digs deep. The "believer" accepts anything they are told, you know, because its too much work to think otherwise.
