    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    That is all.
    I can't even see the name of that movie without going through the hundreds of one liners it has...

    Dune.
    I'm not much of a sci-fi guy, but I read the book on deployment after my Warrant Officer had read it and thought of how funny it pertained to our current situation and really enjoyed all the layers of the story. I know that they had a sort of campy verison in the 80's and that there was TV movie in the 90's- early 00's but I feel like if it got the Lord of the Rings treatment it could be a pretty solid movie, and if it did well maybe Disney would no longer Woke-ify Star Wars (I never really got into these films).

    More spaceballs movies could be good. A proper stargate remake or just expansion off the sg1/atlantis series.

    I'd really like another Dredd movie like the last one as well although I don't see it happening.

    A new set of adams family movies that are not cartoons would be nice as well.

    Yea they really screwed up the ending of that movie. I wouldn't have cared if he dies, just not have it all fall apart like it did.

    Because it can't get better, or that it would have to be ruined to be made now?

    Logan's Run

    Dirty Harry was a reaction to things like Miranda Rights and other criminal rights. You could do it, but from the angle that when the cops are going to have to stand down post Flyood, and that leads to new more bolder criminals, that have to be met, outside of what society sanctions.

    Don't know if it has been made, but the Leyte Gulf/Samar action where the tin cans took on the Yamato. Or mash it up and send a squadron of Fletchers against the IRG gun boats.

    Final Countdown. More Zero's.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

First, it's been troped to death and second, nobody would believe that anyone who knows anything about guns would intentionally choose to live in San Fransisco. Maybe, maybe Los Angeles. But I don't think it works outside of San Fransisco.

    And what would you replace the iconic S&W model 29 with? A 10mm?
    That's what I meant by Hollywood screwing it up. It would have to be a level of dark that they just won't do anymore.

    McQ was good when I was a kid in the 80's, but it hasn't held up to the test of time. I watched it again a year or two again and it was kinda hard to finish.

    I can think of a few that could pull it off:

    Michael Mann (Heat)
    Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects)
    David Fincher (Seven)

    Maybe even Christopher Nolan depending on if they let him loose.

    Mann doesn't have the stomach for it. He's a BLM sympathizer and climate change activist.

    Sure, I know some really like that movie, perhaps already awares of the comic is was based on, but for me, it was total disappointment other than a few good battle scenes and one liners.

    That one should be remade following the actual history. BTW, History Channel did "Last Stand of the 300: The Legendary Battle at Thermopylae" which is fantastic and worth a view.

    What you got?
    Wasn’t Ancient Greek society pretty homoerotic?

    I hadn’t even thought of that movie in quite some time, it was decent and had some really badass scenes but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the whole comic book style.
