Movie flaws that Grind your Gears?

#MeToo if I take them for more than 2 days. Then I can't take a leak either. My docs don't want me taking ibuprofen so I take gabapentin... it makes one drowsy too, which can help with rest. You might add it if the ibuprofen is not doing everything you wish.

I was on Toradol, that seemed to be ok. Then L&I doctor switched to Ibuprofen. Cheaper I guess.

I would guess because it's a fairly intense NSAID for short term use, immediately before/after surgery. I find it interesting that these meds are preferred today over Vicodin or Percoset, since there are risks associated with NSAIDs, especially in older patients, and those with kidney or liver health issues.

After I had my kidney stones blasted, nothing but oxycodone would come close to being 50% reduction in pain. Took them for about 2 weeks, tapering off, didn't get hooked. But couldn't pee or poop, with kidney hurting, that may have been a good thing.

Movie bugs: anything girly!

Just look at ALL of the "Expendables" series of bad examples! One of the Expendables dies in the first flick but is Right There in flick #2!

But then Stallone is a Bad example of the real thing.

I expect you to die, Mr. Bond.

(Shoots him in the chest, twice, then once in the head.)

Just like that. No more sequels.

IMO, a movie that got it right was Heat.

Since those SBRs didnt have bayonet lugs, they weren't really assault rifles...right?

Who died in the first one?

Wes Studi who plays a FBI agent in that movie ( Heat )
Was in the Army and served in VietNam...might have something to do with some of the "gun play".

That would be Michael Mann's doing , he hired British ex-SAS sergeant Andy McNab as a technical weapons trainer and adviser. Years earlier it was the same with James Caan in Thief, sent him to Gunsite.

Well a good technical advisor is nice...it still doesn't change the skills you learn when your life might depend on it...

Note;
I am not saying that McNab or the SAS ain't no good....but ...having learned and used certain skills to save my life and others...I can say that those movements are not easily forgotten or laid aside for someone else and their training...

The main players didn't have that issue.

Any movie where the assasin, in particular, has an unsecured gun room. Next is assassins in high heels, tight pants and no hearing protection. Especially when they've "been in the game" for years but can still have a quiet conversation at a loud bar, without saying, what?

I was not talking about the main players...but I was talking about Wes Studi...SIgh......

I thought we were talking about the gun handling in general in the movie, no need to be so defensive...sigh

Mean while Michael Mann also hired Mark Baker a well known muzzleloader for The Last of the Mohicans....

It's the internet, it happens.

Now can someone please tell me who died in the first Expendables and came back in the 2nd??

I believe it was the Expendable played by Martin Kove. I was stuck in Rehab - Broken Leg - and what they had for "tube" was something called ME-TV. Stallone was on ALL weekend! I found E-1 & E-2 were on, at least, 3 times each. It really sucked!
