@172ndsoldier You're a pure filthy product of your time to make this kind of totally unverifiable statement .WHOREMIND

[MyLilPiper]

Why is everyone saying saying he was caught with child porn in 1995?

[poeticlargess]

" The soldiers sound like the cast of Rent acting like roughnecks, complete with cringingly false badass dialogue (''You're so goddamn white you wouldn't wear yourself after Labor Day!'')..supposedly based on a real incident from 2006. We can tell he's recycling his film, Casualties of War." - Entertainment Weekly

"Could be the worst movie that I have ever seen ...." -Medved

"...the internet being the only source of accredited information from which he culled his world view." - The Austinist

mmm maybe the combination is: free thinking good directors, supported by free thinking producers and the free internet are the cd of the Music Industry. I didnt imagine being a pirate would brought such positive things.

[bananito2]

hey bro nice to see you here. While i am posting this streaming vid of Palma i was thinking of the media industry collapsing as the music industry did with the invention of the cd. But instead of the cd we are having

free thinking alternatives from traditional media grown directors. So cd are to MusicINd as good directors for MediaIND (i am still trying to sort out the analogy)

but anyway here is the movie ready for streaming

Hes a genius with a heart. And all you backstabbers who disagreed with him on this matter, and didnt see it just so it wouldnt get any support are cowards. You just dont want to be confronted with reality. Your ignorance and lack of respect for human life repulsive and heinous, to say the least.

Ok, first off, you misled british fool, she is called 15 in the movie and 14 in all the arguments, so that first fact is false. You get total picture of what is going on there by what you are told. You don't know and you never will. Let's talk about your mercenary troops bayoneting surrendering troops during the American Revolution if you want to get down to that. You don't have the American right to post your oppinion here, you haven't earned it in blood like we have.
