"Zero Dark Thirty" Trailer

Gotcha.

You're asking me to prove a negative?

Dude, there's literally a thousand reasons why a studio would push back a release date - shooting delays, reshoots, editing issues, contract disputes, distribution problems, etc etc etc., up to and including picking an opening weekend where they think the movie will perform better. Not wanting to look political isn't one of them. Not everything functions according to Beltway Rules.

You said it; I'm asking for the proof that the studios won't push back a release date as not to look political...something I would ask for if this was a discussion over a beer or something.

However, this is AW, so I'm not expecting anything productive to come out of this.

Is mental masturbation more or less satisfying than physical masturbation?

I'm a 21st century warrior monk, destined for Pentagramagon greatness one day, so I don't deign to sully myself with such base pursuits, but I feel like this thread will answer my question.

New trailer is up: http://www.zerodarkthirty-movie.com/

Looks promising. You can see a bit of the movie's take on the "low observable" H-60s. The SEALs look like SEALs (biker triathletes on a hunting trip). Seems to have some parts in common with "No Easy Day" - he made a point of saying he was impressed by a female CIA analyst who was 100% certain bin Laden was in the compound, for instance. Was the script rewrite (they rewrote the original "Kill Bin Laden" script after he was, in fact, killed) in any way based on it?

Damn. If I'm "Mark Owen" I'm looking for some royalties. That updated trailer looks like exactly what No Easy Day the movie would look like... Of course I'm only speculating since I'm not really even supposed to discuss NED... Would be interested to see how much (if any) re-writing / re-shooting took place over the last two months.

That Stealth H-60 looks fucking awful...almost like something out of a GI Joe cartoon. Couldn't they have made it more "speculatively-believable"? Like so:

As far as I can tell, one god-awful mockup or drawing of the infamous StealthHawk is as good as another. But if they had to actually bolt on panels onto some actual helicopter to make it actually look like the damned thing in question so that they could use live action for a couple of sequences vice CGI, I'm all for it. I would also go as far as to say that 98% (random high percentage which may or may not correspond to my graduation year) of moviegoers will be completely unfazed, stuffing their faces with popcorn for the impending climax scene.

Like the Mi-24s in Red Dawn.

They look like Blue Thunder...
