Everyone wants to love Clint Eastwood's movies. But after winning Best Director and Best Picture for 2004's "Million Dollar Baby," the actor-turned-director's self-seriousness has left his recent output feeling a little… dry. Sounding great on paper, "Flags of Our Fathers" "Invictus," "J. Edgar" didn't have the cinematic brawn to muscle Eastwood into the award season (though, it should be noted, that his riveting, un-Hollywood war movie "Letters from Iwo Jima" nabbed a Best Picture nomination). Will "American Sniper" be the one voters and critical voices finally get behind?

Great Trailer. Thank god ,someone still knows how to make good movies.
A.j I think you should like that. What's your take ?
-
I wonder if that American Sniper is going to apply for disability like Navy Mike. Think he jams his toe in the movie.

I can't stand to look through a scope for an hour, I can't imagine doing 12-24 hours on it. No doubt it will be a good movie. That is one fine rifle platform though: .300 Win Mag. IMHO surpassed only by the .338 Lapua.

Aj gives it an ok! That's good enough for me. Cant wait to see it!
The pressure of making decisions like this and live with it later must be fucking gruesome.

After he wins Mr.America and the World strongman competition.

Eastwood is a great director. His movies always turn out to be very good even if dont think youll like it going in

How do you sleep after a job like this?
Everytime you doze of you must think you are in someones scope. Till you figure out you are at home and ok

You are right. He is really something.
Great acting career and the even better director. The Unforgiven was exceptionally well done.

Didn't Eastwood do Unforgiven and Gran Torino?
Those weren't bad movies?

A couple maybe didn't do so well but most of his movies are great. This one for sure will be great.

I know youre giving him shit about his getting military disability, but dont. Everyone tries, and they should. The military beats the shit out of your body (especially if youre in a line unit), and those programs exist for a reason.
My grandfather has 100% disability from the Navy, he contracted cancer from agent orange in Vietnam, also has hearing loss, joint damage, etc.
Another friend i know has 40% disability from joint damage from running and humping with packs. They basically say the disability is the mikitary saying 'thanks for letting us fuck your body for the last 4-30 years"

If they have no disabilities that should prevent them from working and they are not truly disabled, no, they should not try. As stated in the video that was posted in the Navy Mike thread, this only makes it more difficult for veterans who really need it to get it.
They choose to join the military and with that choice, comes the assumption that youre body will take a pounding. If youre body takes a pounding to the point where you truly are disabled, then fine, apply. If youre not, then don't.

Thats why they have different ratings for levels of disability
Its not like you get disability or you dont. They have ratings from 10 to 100 based on how badly your damaged. Someone gettin 10% for hurt hearing, for instance, isnt getting a living wage for the rest of their life.
Military disability is there to compensate you for bodily harm that has occured during service that can affect your normal life, it has next to nothing to do with whether you can work or not.

Actually in the book , there was a woman not a boy carrying the grenade.

I remember that, but i thought there was another part where a woman handed off an RPG round to her kid and tried to send him at the Marines, when he was up with the younger Marine, before he handed his rifle off and went down to the streets to help the Marines clear houses?
Its been quite a while since i read the book.

The whole Navy Mike thing is ridiculous. He got injured, its in his records and they went through the procedures to figure out what he was due. The problems he faces now are likely to get worse. He's not just being compensated for now but when he's 65. We had a guy in my last unit that was still on active duty with a 90% disability from the Navy. He got out was fucked up...and came back in the army. He still did a full PT test. While he was out he wrote THE book on how to get the most out of the VA. Its on amazon. The dude will be fine until he's 50 and then need two full knee replacements ...new hip and back shit. Unless you understand the system you don't have perspective.

Bingo. Some people give 60-70% of their bodies shelf life in 10% of their lifetime when they serve..... and thats why they qualify for military disability.

Yet to see a movie that Clint directed that I didn't really enjoy.

"Flags of Our Fathers"
Should have got the Oscar for Films That Don't End. I saw it in the theatre when it first came out. As far as I know, it's still playing.
I remember Bird also lurching toward a fade-to-black for, oh, about an hour.

Actually Clint is a big AC/DC fan. It's A Long Wait For The Cock If You Want To Rock And Roll is in preproduction. The cock appears at minute 20 followed by a 4 1/2 hr denouement.

Military is the world`s largest platform for Socialism and yet for some reason, Republicans despise Socialism.
Everyone tries for disability? Thats pathetic.

I like Kyle, but he was full of lies.
Chris Kyle claims to have shot 30 American Citizens during Hurricane Katrina.
I wonder if they will put that in the movie.
Like the one about how he and a bud went down to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina and picked off dozens of bad guys. Or the one in which he took on two armed Texans bent on stealing his truck and shot them both dead.
Kyle is certainly full of a lot of shit.

I understand the system fully well actually. Its not intended to be abused which is why their fraud department is massive, although understaffed.

You have strong opinions about the experience of serving in the military. I know some men and women that served that also developed very strong opinions.
I'd actually like to hear about your experiences in the military to see how they compare.

Also, nothing magic happens when you join the military. Its just a collection of thousands and thousands of different jobs that gay people, women and men and even undocumented immigrants seeking citizenship can do.

Happy to share my testimony with you, but that's for another thread. In fact, there's an entire religion board reserved for such discussion. Come on down!
Back to this thread, the family and friends I know that have served were in combat situations and fortunately came out unscathed. Although, the riggers of their service did take a physical toll; yet, they chose not to file for disability. I can't say whether or not they should've considered it though.
I just wondered what your experience serving in the military was like?
-

This is true. The military offers all sorts of folks all kinds of work opportunities, but for those that face real combat they tend to have more unique, lasting experiences that often leave physical and mental marks.

I agree, but many do encounter a very rigorous, physical lifestyle even without the stress of combat.
I'm not naive though. I realize there are folks that attempt to scam the system, but I don't lump everyone into that basket because of the folks that do.
My body is torn up from years of physical activity and I can't do certain things I could only 10 short years ago, but that doesn't mean I can't still be active despite being physically limited and unable to do certain things.
I do think those receiving disability should be reevaluated every couple of years. Some folks are able to rehabilitate themselves while others will attempt to remain active yet struggle and struggle for rest of their days without the hope of full or even partial recovery. Some should have disability benefits reduced or removed and others should continue for as long as funds as available....I have no problem with that.
So what was your military service experience like?
-
Ha......in any event unless you've served you really have no idea. Military service mostly blows. Getting shot at is overrated...shooting back is not. I've been doing it for almost 22 years.....you have to know going in its going to suck and make the best of it.

I find amusing that you and others would probably throw a tantrum if they saw some black 26 year old kid, competing in back to back bodybuilding shows, bragging about all the pussy they got in the club dancing, hiking up mountains and then coming home to a fat "disability" check, 90 percent at that.
-
His check is less then 2k per month...not exactly fat.

I had typed a response about my personal experience with military service, but decided to delete it and won`t bother with it.
I believe that people that need help should be given help and that help may also entail helping them along a longer road where they are able to fully provide for themselves again. Some type of annual evaluation or 2-year evaluation should be in order....just an opinion....may already exist, I don't know.
Regardless, even the disabled and poor should enjoy a happy lifestyle even if it is limited. If someone on disability is now able to climb a mountain most likely they're physically rehab'd and should come off the benefits.....of course this is an extreme example.
That's too bad about your response. Was hoping for some real life insight.

No ones saying what hes actually got the disability for.
Also, thats not his fault. Thats up to the person screening him.
Fyi, your grandfather could go into the VA TODAY and gwt disability for injuries suffered during his service.
My grandfather just recently went to from 90% to 100%. Also, he has hearing loss, damaged joints, turned down a purple heart, and experienced severe PTSD (which they tacked on just a few years ago, giving him the extra 10%).
The system is at fault if they didnt screen him accurately.
The system exists to compensate people who have damaged their body in service to their country, at differing levels.
Thats why people apply, because theyre encouraged to.
-
Sorry, Competitive, club dancing, mountain hiking, job-hunting bodybuilder is not the first thing that comes to my mind when someone tells me they are 90 Percent disabled.

Hows that his fault? What does that have to do with him? Also, if his injury rates 90%, how is that his fault?
Seems like your beef is with the screener, not Mike.

Someone ran in the back of my car a few months ago, a young girl about 20, she was in bits and had cracked her head on the windscreen, I and my partner were unhurt but we both suffered vehicle damage.
Now, I was well within my rights to put in claims for whiplash and various other fake injuries and hammer her insurance company
It would have fucked her insurance premiums up for years
Guess what I did?
I told her not to worry, took her details and got my car fixed and passed my mechanics name onto her so she could get hers sorted.
It cost £60 to fix my car, me and the mechanic spent 3 hours buffing it out and fixing the bulbs and lock.
She paid me the £60 and brought us round a nice thank you card and a bottle of wine.
Thats what honest people do.

Yeah no shit my mom just got 1300 a month for my dads' exposure to agent orange...and apparently I could have gone to college free...

TA your assuming he's defrauding the system. I'm gonna say after 9 years of service he has issues. The way things are now if you don't document and then get your cash, the VA will screw something up and you'll never get what you are entitled to. His command ensured that he went to all his appointments and he got what he got.

You are joking right? Entitlements? I really wish some undocumented Mexican got to Navy_Mike`s job before he did. Those type of people don`t complain at all.

Yeah I get it...your offended that the dude is 3 times your size and because he chose to serve he offends your manhood.

Didn't Eastwood do Unforgiven and Gran Torino?
Those weren't bad movies?
Unforgiven was fantastic, bro. Mystic River, too. He's directed some real gems (Outlaw JW, Pale Rider, Bird, MDB, Letters from Iwo Jima, Changeling), but he's got some bombs, too. Hoping this will be another gem.
