Any interest in Warhorse or Redtails

Kinda surprised no threads on the new war movies:

War Horse

Red Tails

interview w/ Lucas:

(please God, let there be no Jar-Jars in the movie)

Any thoughts?

I saw Warhorse the other night with my wife. It, as my wife puts it, is a "really sappy movie". It also defies belief in some aspects. Its basically an equine version of Lassie Come home.

Red Tails was mentioned somewhere few months back and I shall repeat what I said then:
That's pretty agile P-51 you got there.

And it's an underdog story, so it'll be über-dramatic. Might check it later on, but
that trailer didn't spark much interest.

War Horse, uh.. no.. just no.

been aware of them both for a while, thought they looked quite good tbh lol

Red Tails...looks to be Flyboys in WWII.

War Horse, on the other hand, looks good...but I don't know if I'd be able to watch it without having a few...erm...ocular liquid output issues. Been around horses too long, and know too well what happened to so many of them in war.

Perhaps every artillery mess in the UK, Canada, OZ and NZ have a copy of this on the walls:

Probably pass on the movie though...

Aye...the poor bastards gave so much for us, not just in the First and Second World Wars, but in nearly every war back to the Roman era and beyond.

What a moving painting. Any idea the title or the artist?

I have seen Warehorse. Good movie. Fairy tale but a good movie. Redtails is a remake of Tuskegee Airmen. Looks good and I will go see it.
