I would think so.

Affleck's suit was black and grey. I hear you though, I'd like to see a comic accurate suit on the screen.
I think Dano did a great job and wouldn't want anyone else in the role.
That's an interesting argument.
Look at Jewish people. During WW2 they were hunted down, rounded up, and exterminated. The Nazis literally tried to wipe their kind off the planet. Yet today, they're doing fine. Among some of the most prosperous and successful people in the world.
Because they brushed themselves off and got back to work, back to living. They didn't forget the past but they also didn't let it define them. They also don't blame today's generation for the sins of the past.
It's all about culture. The Jewish people have a strong and proud culture and their place in society shows it. Other cultures however are about glorifying criminality and blaming everyone else except themselves for their current state.
"That might have worked in the book, but would be utterly revolting in a film. Who wants to fuck a beautiful lady if she's been smeared with shit?"
Germans.
Due to the texture I was thinking it was sour cream.
Agreed. Watched it last night for the first time and was thinking "Why did this guy not get an Oscar?"
Pig Latin for "kids". He's telling him to watch his language.
I think Jack was just exerting what little power he had over Nick, making him sweat a little.

Yes. I didn't go but MTV was all over it at the time and all I heard about it was some fires, bad sanitation, and drugs and sex. Apart from the fire those other things are concert, and certainly festival, staples.

I think the original intent was for black people to use it themselves to remove any power from the word thus rendering it unusable as an insult. That said, it's still a horrible word and I can't imagine hearing it day after day if it offends you. I'm on your side. It's such a triggering word just don't use it or if you do expect different people to feel different things about it. Unfortunately now it's so engrained in hip hop culture I don't think it's going away.
Agreed. And Dead Stockwell should have been nominated for best supporting actor for playing Ben because he's "so fucking suave!"
Absolutely. It's a perfect film.
Agreed. He also says "I drive real fucking fast so keep up." Isn't the purpose to avoid attention? Why would you go bombing down the road just begging to be pulled over? Go the speed limit.
FMJ is partially based of a book called "The Short-Timers" by Gustav Hasford. Hasford did indeed survive he war but died young early stateside at the age of.
Anyone interested I recommend reading "The Short-Timers" and its sequel "The Phantom Blooper". Excellent books on Vietnam.
Could have used a chopper to land right on the buildings or at least repel down to the roofs.

Yup. And the little girl at the end killed her mother with a garden spade.
Between this and "Glengarry Glen Ross" (great film btw) Pacino had cosmetic surgery on his face.
"But why are you so easily offended and crying over what I said? If you enjoy xenophobic shit, go right ahead. I'm not stopping you."
C'mon dude. I was with you until this sentence. "Crying"? Does insulting others makes you feel better about yourself?
"I just think it's annoying, stupid and tiresome how "the other" is portrayed in every single Indiana Jones movie."
Including the Germans and Russians in the other films? Did you give a shit about their portrayal? Me neither because it's a fucking movie.
