Jim in Anchorage Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would you not think that would be classified? And how would a American hide in NK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We have some amazing capabilities but this seems a little far fetched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would you not think that would be classified? And how would a American hide in NK? Not only is it not classified....they've been filming it and posting it on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqjfZnJEURM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We have some amazing capabilities but this seems a little far fetched It's the kind of "boots on the ground" thing that the Bush Administration would have done (don't know that they did...just saying I could believe it if they did). I wonder more about the extraction. It's probably easier to parachute in to NK than it is to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder more about the extraction. It's probably easier to parachute in to NK than it is to get out. They use the tunnels. Fool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjamie12 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Would you not think that would be classified? And how would a American hide in NK? Really? Edit: Beaten to it -- should have read farther. Edited May 29, 2012 by jjamie12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff_bills4ever Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would you not think that would be classified? And how would a American hide in NK? Brah, you might feel a lil silly when you realize the unintentional racism. I lol'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Brah, you might feel a lil silly when you realize the unintentional racism. I lol'd. THATS racism? Picturing 6'2" Americans hiding among Koreans? Sorry if when I read "US special forces" I don't picture a 5'2" Korean, American born or otherwise.

Sorry if when I read "US special forces" I don't picture a 5'2" Korean, American born or otherwise. Everyone looks the same, brah., cause we're all equal, brah.

Well maybe it was Ocean's Twelve but definitely not Ocean's Thirteen. I think he was in all three but the third one sucked even worse than the first two. Anyway that guy didn't learn that stuff in his local gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We have many Americans of Korean descent. . How many in the Special Forces? Gotta believe they'd run out... Not that important, anyway. Not spies we're talking about, but "hide under a bush for a week with binoculars and a walkie-talkie" types. A big honky can do that just as easily as a little gook.

I think he was in all three but the third one sucked even worse than the first two. Anyway that guy didn't learn that stuff in his local gym. Eleven. And Twelve sucked worst of all. Brad Pitt admitted "We weren't really interested in making a movie, it was just an excuse to hang out at Clooney's Italian villa. Everyone was in on the joke except Catherine Zeta-Jones, who thought we were seriously making a movie." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 But John Wayne played Genghis Khan. Go figure. And Robert Downey Jr. played Kirk Lazurus in Tropic Thunder. It's amazing what a little "blackface" will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 But John Wayne played Genghis Khan. Go figure. White guys are like a blank canvas, and as such, white men are capable of tackling any cinematic role. Just look at the Last Sumarai, Last of the Mohicans and Glory. Tom Cruise looked totally Japanese in his role as Katsumoto, Daniel Day Louis was flawless as Magua, and Matthew Broderick won an Oscar for his role as escaped slave turned Army Private, Trip. Movie magic, or ancient white guy secret? You tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 And Robert Downey Jr. played Kirk Lazurus in Tropic Thunder. It's amazing what a little "blackface" will do. But Downey has range and ability. Have you ever SEEN John Wayne? And as Genghis Khan? At least when Sean Connery played a Japanese character, they made an attempt (feeble though it was) to make him look Asian. John Wayne, as Genghis Khan...I believe the makeup effects were limited to "John...lose the hat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 So here's one I never understood. Why have a Frenchman (Christopher Lambert) play a Scotsman and Sean Connery to play a Spaniard in the same Highlander movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 So here's one I never understood. Why have a Frenchman (Christopher Lambert) play a Scotsman and Sean Connery to play a Spaniard in the same Highlander movie I could explain it, but it would require a lot of charts and graphs. And an easle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
