Bergdahl movies?
Derek sends us a link to the UK’s Independent which reports that Kathryn Bigelow, the woman who made that horrible Hurt Locker movie as well as the controversial Zero Dark Thirty, is contemplating making a movie about that Bowe Bergdahl fellow who has been accused by his squad mates of deserting his unit;
Bergdahl’s story seems a perfect fit for Bigelow, as it remains a hot topic in the press. He has been branded a deserter by some miltary men for abandoning his troops in 2009 after becoming disillusioned with what he saw as their incompetence.

Fox Searchlight is reported to be working on a rival film based on late Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hasting’s “America’s Last Prisoner of War” article. Todd Field is attached to direct.
I can only imagine….

I’ll be first in line to see it…if he gets shot in the end.
Blow it out your ass Hollyweird!! Oh and did I mention… Fuck Bowe!
Will it be a romatic comedy about a dis-illussioned west coast hippy and his struggle to find love on Thursdays?
Keep reminding me why I don’t give a shit about Hollywood.
BREAKING NEWS OUT OF HOLLYWERID CA:
Test screening short of new zanny action packed romantic comedy about Bowe Bergdahl and his love affair with Mohamed has been released.
In this clip … the now infamous POW is forced to entertain the enemy:
“The Bowe Bergdahl Story”…
Hmm…I think I’d rather be forced to watch a live gay sex show while being simultaneously waterboarded, tazed, and beaten with a shovel.
The Other Whitey…All the thoughts running through my head and you sir, said them best!
I think I’d rather crawl naked through poison ivy after wallowing in broken glass and bathing in isopropyl alcohol while getting a root canal sans anasthesia while being forced to watch a video of Bergdahl being slowly examined by a big-fingered, ham-fisted sadistic proctologist with piss-poor depth perception while he’s being forced to give head to King Kong!
Proud: I love ya, dude, but pls take your meds!
I have the perfect title for the movie ” Tears of an ass clown”
I was thinking something like “The Adventures of Goat-Boy”!
Or, “Bowe, Five Years of AK’s and Penises”
Produced by Vietnam War Protestor.
Bruno Kirby can play my part. He did such a good job portraying a PA dude in ‘Good Morning Vietnam’….
Too bad he’s dead.
What was so horrible about Hurt Locker? I thought it was a pretty good movie.
Seriously? That movie was a steaming pile of dog shit.
I worked in the EOD community … the movie was BAD!
I went through WLC (Warrior Leader Course for those who aren’t ground pounders) with another Sergeant who’s an EOD tech. One day the subject of The Hurt Locker came up. I’d be hard pressed to remember another time that I heard so much spitting and cussing from someone over a movie. It was a spectacular display of anger and hatred that I don’t even think I saw at a comic con when The Phantom Menace was being discussed.
cannoncocker…LMAO. Thank you. As an old 11B from Vietnam I have all grades of respect for EOD guys and Combat Engineers. I wasn’t in Iraq but when I saw the movie, I called bogus on it right away, just from my old days. Individuals don’t survive. Teams, survive. Well trained, well coordinated teams.
Well, shows what I know.
My wife and I run into this frequently. I was former USAF (F-4 Phantoms) and she is former Navy (corpsman).
Whenever we watch a movie that features aviation, I mutter and sputter, and she tells me to relax, it’s just a movie.
When we watch a movie that shows corpsmen in action, she’s the one who blows her top.
One big exception. In the movie Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks, after Phillips is rescued and is being treated on board ship, she says the sequence and actions of the person playing the Navy corpsman treating him is PERFECT.
That’s because she’s real Navy corpsman; HM2 Danielle Albert.
I was in Iraq and I never saw anyone don civilian clothes and sneak of base to go running through the streets of the city.
Even Bowe wore his uniform when he went on his walk-about.
Hurt locker… Never could sit through the entire thing…. I pretty much completely gave up on it when they tried to say the two EOD techs were also high speed snipers.
I say we call the movie, “The Crying Game II”. Bergdahl can play the transsexual love interest of the entire Taliban camp. They can dress him up like a woman until the part where I turned off the original, “The Crying Game”. Mind and eye bleach were flowing big time that day. Thought it was going to be a good IRA/British Army movie. Who knew?
Got duped into showing up in the movie theater in UK while we were stationed in Fairford, England. Only time I walked out of a movie was that and Deloris Claiborne.
As long as it ends with him getting ass raped by a horde of rabid yak, I’ll go see it.
But…but! What did the horde of rabid yak do to deserve ass raping Bergdahl? 😎
streetsweeper…Because Bergdahl would give the yaks a reach around. 😀
I’m sure that hippies and Yak will smell similar, so I guess you could fool a blind yak into a little Bowe.
Staring Jamie Foxx.
Speaking of shitbags
Speaking of shitbags, they’ll probably offer the lead role to Tom Cruise. Didn’t he already tell us (I think last November) that his acting job was just like fighting in A-Stan? So he is already fully experienced to take the role.
I say…lets encourage Kathryn Bigelow to make a movie about his lil escapades. Complete with fluffers on set and call it, “The Brown Mile” almost like “The Green Mile” except, Morgan Freeman narrates I meant to say translates for the Talibahn AND instead of hearing “Dead man walking” we hear the line “Deserter running” or “Coastie boot fail walking” ya know, something along those lines.
Was Senator McCarthy right after all?
That would be a ‘yes’
Wait, what? “He has been branded a deserter by some miltary men for abandoning his troops in 2009 after becoming disillusioned with what he saw as their incompetence.”
HIS TROOPS?!? Since when the blue fuck does a deserting shitbag PFC with delusions of grandeur have ‘troops’?
Seriously, does the sky on their planet have a flavor?
