i saw this thing years ago, probably in the late 90s or early 2000s, and for the life of me i can't figure out what it is. iirc it was a vietnam war movie and as the protagonists moved through the jungle on patrol and had a bunch of poo happen to them they would flash back to before the war and explain how they each got there. there was this black guy who was a preacher and caught his wife cheating on him and killed her, then this dude who joined up to get a job when his employer fired him for stealing to impress a chick at a party, and so on… i remember this big burly white guy goes renegade in the jungle and when the find him he's gone bonkers and the one guy pretends to hug him and then blows his brains out with a revolver.

 

what fuging movie am i talking about because i've been searching for this poo all evening on google and i've come up empty.

Titles

aren't copyrighted.

Well. Technically they can be. Depends on how the film is housed legally to ensure it's exclusivity. Basically is there a secondary meaning to the film or is the title such the film can stand on it's on?

It's hazy legalese type stuff.

Then it can be to the MPAA and studios and junk.

So you can't outright copyright a title but possibly could based on public consumption structure.

I don't know what that meant but titles of any sort aren't copyrighted, but they can sometimes be trademarked, like pokemon for instance. But that's because there are already toys and whatnot. Titles are too vague to say that it's an original idea. Otherwise you would just have people making a bunch of scripts with just a title so they can sue whoever uses it.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
