Pain and Gain and Blowing Stuff Up!
« on: April 02, 2013, 12:43:45 PM »
I'M NOT POSITIVE if what I'm about to say here but maybe some of you GetBig-Know-it-Allers can bring us all up to date with the facts and nothing but the facts.

I've been told by reliable sources that this new Wahlberg/The Rock movie based on a true life incident which occurred a few years back in the southern state of Florida.

In fact one of the instigators was well known within he competitive bodybuilding world and a person with whom I was once acquainted.

I'm a pretty damn good judge of people but I would have never guessed that  he would do anything remotely as describe in this movie of which I have only seen in the prevues.

Does anyone possess the inside scoop?

AND .... I have just seen a photo of the three 'antagonists' casually walking  away from an explosion an only one is looking back to see what's happening.

Maybe the other two will eventually turn and take a look aslo but it seem to be Hollywood's idea that only the brave and ultra-heros proceed with their daily duties without any thought of watching the explosive damage they have initiated.

I hate it when that happens.

I'm blown a good number of "THINGS" (not people as far as I know) up and everyone wants to watch it happen. Especially those who have set the charges.

Walking away with no interest is simply bull-ship and Hollywood's dumb idea of BRAVADO  .... and simply laughable.

These three would be celebrating like crazy and congratulating each other with hearty handshakes and robust pats the backs while watching this occur from a very safe distance away (20 yards) or tucked away in a foxhole.

Such a celebration could even possibly occur while  bullets were flying overhead but Hollywood's version would be even more dramatic and a real life impossibility.

Cut and print!

Walking away from explosions is silly. I believe Wahlberg pulled the same kind of thing at the ending in the movie "The Shooter". But I do believe there are people who run full speed to get out of the way. We saw that happen when the twin towers fell.

AB, running is often a life necessity when dealing with explosives. But some are so confident about their job that they can casually walk away.

But they always watch.

The only time I never watched was when I was tucked safely away in a five foot hole.

I concur with this sentiment.
