They borrowed a lot of stuff from "Full Metal Jacket", but that aside, this dude was a brave mother. I really don't see you Mark as a Army medic not going to a weapon if needed. The Navy Corpsmen I served with carried 45 autos. We as Marines gave the Navy a lot of grief. Our Corpsman was always a step above. He did what we did and didn't bitch. Without a weapon ?? Not a chance in hell. I carried two during my time in Afghanistan. My 9mm and M4 carbine. Along with some frag grenades and a big fucking knife. I was as much into my weapons as the infantry dude next to me. These days regardless of what of the job you are trained in, you are reminded that you are a soldier first. One more weapon in the fight only increases your odds of making it out of there and getting back home. I loved being a medic. Nothing better than earning the respect of those you serve with and being called "Doc". My sig block says it all about my time in Afghanistan and something i'm EXTREMELY proud of. Hell, most of you guys helped in seeing my way through all of that mess. Always much love and respect to you guys !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 In regards to seeing anything lately, I have to remind everyone of the two youngsters. Most recently I've finally seen Rogue One, Boss Baby, and the new Beauty and the Beast. If i'm being honest, I liked each of them and so did the kids. We have a new dine in movie theater here in Anderson Township and it rules. You own reclining seats and you hit the button to have food and drinks (alcohol as well) brought to you. Plus they have this absolutely MASSIVE screen some movies are shown on. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Ok, so I saw Logan, Arrival, The Shack, and Ghost in the Shell. (Thank you hacked movie sites) Logan was what you would expect and fun if you like those x-men films. The Arrival was an Alien flick with a different take and worth the time to watch for free. The Shack is a super sad religious God flick, but is an interesting story about forgiveness. (I was told I should watch that one and did so because of the person, it wasn't of my choosing) The Ghost in the Shell was entirely too Sci-Fi for me and I love Sci-Fi flicks. I found it slow and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Also watched John Wick and the Chapter 2 sequel. Two fun movies to watch back to back. Have to love the all the wonderful violence even if it's Keanu Reeves. Thanks free hacked movie websites !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I saw "Lion" on the tube, I think I dvr'd it off HBO or somewhere. It was really good. Family friendly movie if it matters to anyone, watched it with my 13 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I watched Inferno from last year. Tom Hanks as professor Langdon again. Much like Angels and Demons and The DeVinci Code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I bought the Quentin Tarantino "Django" movie. I really enjoyed Jamie Foxx in this one. As in any movie Quentin does, the gore level is high, so this isn't one for the youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yeah, Django is a good one for sheer entertainment value. I've watched it many times and i'm sure many more will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I notice Tarantino likes to work with actors he's used before. Adam Sandler does the same and it seems to work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Went to the local theater and saw "The Promise," a movie that has a tragic love story taking place during the Armenian Genocide, 1915-1920 or so. Pretty good movie, beautiful scenery. The brutality and killing is mostly implied or from a distance, so it got a pg-13 rating. Worth a look.

ArmyBengal Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I watched "Kong: Skull Island" and it was a fun watch. All the things you would expect from this type of movie. Big gorilla, monsters, monsters and monsters. Samuel L. Jackson, John C. Reilly, John Goodman, and even Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre in Straight outta Compton) playing a nerd. That cast just looks like fun and I enjoyed it. Have to know what you're getting into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 So. Just got back from Guardians 2. Need to let it percolate for a while, but it may be my new favorite Marvel movie. it really, really good. Special mention to Kurt Russell, who not only totally sells the most insane premise ever, but might be the best Marvel baddie since Hiddleston's Loki. Its a surprisingly slow movie, but in a good way, because the time is dedicated to character development, so that when the big slam-bang finish comes, the emotional payoff is huge. I did spring for 3D but I think you'd be ok without it. It's cool in some scenes, but like I said there's a lot of dialogue and it can get distracting sometimes. i could say a whole lot more but I don't want to spoil things. Two big thumbs up!

ArmyBengal Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 We were going to see that today as well but plans fell through. Looking forward to catching it for sure !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Wonder Woman is good. Gal Gadot is great in the title role and Chris Pine is terrific as Steve Trevor. Definite recommend. Easily the best DC movie in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I watched "Passengers" today. Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence. A story of an interstellar journey to relocate human life on another planet with many twists to the plot. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I checked out a pretty good movie on a plane. "Everybody Wants Some." If you played baseball or went to college in the early '80s, check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
