Awesome movie. I saw on TV yesterday that Tom Hanks won't get an award but the guy that played the lead pirate has been nominated. I will say, the guy played an awesome part. I learned some very interesting things about the movie on the show I watched. Tom Hanks didn't meet the guys that were playing the pirates until they boarded the ship. Thought that was cool.

It was a great movie, I love Tom Hanks and he's done good in pretty much every movies he's been in.

Another celebration of getting critical facts wrong.

Most were correct though. As far as him being hostage already, I think that is a matter of how he saw it. They were all hostages. Broken glass, big deal. I'd be more interested in if the guy really braved bullets to get the power off and if the other really went to adjust the fire hose. Him not locking the bridge is big same as the drill they were running. When I saw they were picked because they weren't near the other ships, I thought he really messed up in that regard. Reckless and not really a hero as portrayed. So most facts correct, whole premise incorrect.

Wonder if Tom Hanks would have taken the role if they told him "You don't offer to trade yourself and you don't offer to take a bullet. You screw up and end up causing the crew to blame you and sue the company for your intentional negligence."

Hard to say. :lol: As far as the lawsuit, hey it's for the money. America. Also him not going to the engine room was a pretty big fact. Makes perfect sense for him to say on the bridge, so why change that?

I didn't get it, don't get it and never will get it.

Hollywood; Here it is; can you do it? If no, don't. If yes, ask 'should we do it?'.

There's no effing reason for it. None. :cds:

Watched last night. My favorite part....


Negotiator " I need three green lights! "

Negotiator " Execute! "

Hanks " WHAT WAS THAT!!?"


I busted out laughing.

To think all that could have been prevented if able to have weapons.

I loved the movie, but was irritated by that the whole time. I guess there is a reason, but I just don't get the no weapons thing.
