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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
