American sniper

Very good movie. I don't brag up anything very often or very much. But it would be a must see movie after seeing it. It is a very touching movie the theatre was close to completely silent as everyone walked out. If your bored highly recommend going to see it.

I've been impressed by his wife during the few interviews I've seen. I think she has perspective that Moore wouldn't even be kind enough to listen too.

I tried to read the book but got stuck 1/3 of the way through it, I'm not a big reader but it caught my eye a few years ago but it didn't get anywhere before my attention span got in the way.

While American Sniper wasn't a masterpiece I really enjoyed it. Eastwood movies rarely disappoint but IMO the ultimate tragic ending could have been detailed a little better. Restrepo is still the best movie of this genre I've seen.

I just started listening to the audio book I hate reading so audio books are the way to go, only part way though but really enjoy it. Cant wait to see the movie.

DTro there is a gag order in place from the court regarding the "ultimate ending" which I believe prevents any more detail. The guy is contesting the death penalty and claiming insanity and PTSD and the trial is upcoming.

Also, leaving Lone Survivor was the same way. Total silence from a shellshocked and reverent audience.

Oh, that makes COMPLETE sense about the gag order and I feel better about the movie now. I kind of thought Clint left me hanging there, but now I see there was really no other way to do it.

Thanks

Restrepo and AS aren't really in the same genre. Restrepo is an actual documentary, filmed live as it happened. AS is a based on real life drama.

AS might be based on a true story, but it's certainly not a documentary. Not to mention some of the stuff in the book that's portrayed as truth is pretty much total hogwash. I'm not sure how the movie handles the parts of the book that are supposedly bologna.

Anyways, you should check out Korengal, which is a sequel of sorts to Restrepo. It's on netflix.

American Sniper was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I will agree it's no masterpiece but for what it is it's a great movie and a must see. The two morons that put it down aren't even worth a mention. Kyle was a true hero for America who's life was sadly cut short. I for sure be seeing this again.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
