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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
