What the hell are you talking about? Youre the one who came in here neffing it up whinning about the mods coming down on you.

Mod's he bypassed the filter again. Ban him 😀 He's apparently too stupid to learn his lesson.

i am not talking about this thread i was talking about the overall opinion of me expressed by you and the others that made a comment on my post. And whining is not what that comment was. I was again Pointing out the rediculousness of a certain mod.

Actually it was neffing and whinning. IF you have a complaint, take it to the mods, don't whine about it in here. No one cares but yourself. Grow up.

I have seen parts of it and was not entertained in the least. I don't need to waste my time by viewing the rest of it.

The same goes for Platoon and Saving Private Ryan.

trust, i've made attempts to contact mods about the singling out that appears to be going on. And surprise surprise no response. Singling members out and only holding them accountable for "invisible rules" should be the business of everyone as it can be you or the next guy that gets singled out next. bottomline is: there should be consistency when inforcing rules and since we all are supposed to be held to the same rules then inconsistency in this aspect demonstrates discrimination.
 
Sorry but this is ATOT. They have the right to moderate it however they feel. If you don't like it, you know where the door is. You were not banned; you were only giving a warning. People who have been here for a long time are given leniency for the things they do, within reason. As long as they aren?t hurting anyone, no harm no foul. It?s the same way in real life. It doesn?t bother me and doesn?t seem to others.

And FYI, there is a FORUMS ISSUE forum. If you have a problem, take it there. What you are doing is neffing and whining in this thread. We?d rather enjoy it rather than here some crybabies whine it up about fair treatment.

You don't seem to understand how the whole Mod thing works. They are like guys walking around with a stick, and they are allowed to hit you with it any time they feel like it. And there's nothing you can do about it. The trick is to avoid making them want to hit you with it, which you seem unable to do.

And what you are doing now is a damn good way to get hit.

Good way to sum it up. 😀

Stupid is as stupid does. If you think complaining in this thread will make them say their sorry, look forward to the ban you'll receive from something later on 🙂

If they swat you, say youre sorry and move on with life.

I don't know you amish, but based on your list of movies you don't like, I would have to guess your idea of an entertaining movie is "The Horse Whisperer"!

I have a cousin who was in Vietnam,he said the movie was very reralisitic about boot camp

Glad i did Not have to go to 'Nam, too young by only a couple years.

your so ugly you could be. LOL



Full Metal Jacket

Full Metal Jacket was filmed in England from August 1985 to September 1986. Shooting took just over 6 months but production was shut down for over 20 weeks due to injuries and accidents. The film was made for $17 million.

Parris Island scenes were shot at a real military training camp in Bassingbourne. The barracks set was built at Enfield.

Becton, an abandoned 1930s gasworks town by the Thames was used as the Vietnam city of Hue. Of creating this "set" where the film's climax takes place, Kubrick has said:

"We worked from still photographs of Hue in 1968. And we found an area that had the same 1930's functionalist architecture. Now, not every bit of it was right, but some of the buildings were absolute carbon copies of the outer industrial areas of Hue...We had demolition guys in there for a week, laying charges...Then we had a wrecking ball there for two months, with the art director telling the operator which hole to knock in which building... I don't think anybody's ever had a set like that...To make that kind of three-dimensional rubble, you'd have to have everything done by plasterers, modeled, and you couldn't build that if you spent $80 million and had five years to do it. You couldn't duplicate, oh, all those twisted bits of reinforcement. And to make rubble, you'd have to go find some real rubble and copy it...no one can make up a rock. I found that out in Paths of Glory. We had to copy rocks, but every rock also has an inherent logic you're not aware of until you see a fake rock. Every detail looks right, but something's wrong. So we had real rubble. We brought in palm trees from Spain and a hundred thousand plastic tropical plants from Hong Kong...All in all, a tremendous set dressing and rubble job." --20

Lee Ermy a former Parris Island drill instructor originally hired as technical advisor was given the part of Sgt. Hartman after Kubrick observed the way he handled actors during casting session improvisations. Most of the outrageous insults he hurls at recruits were Ermy's own creations.
