It’s probably apocryphal, but do remember hearing a story about a reformed cannibal who visited England during WW I and ended up being taken to France to view the battlefields. Upon seeing the dead lying out in “no man’s land”, the cannibal asked if they were at least going to eat the dead. His escort huffed and puffed along the lines of ‘of course not’ and ‘most uncivilized’. Whereby the cannibal replied ‘what a waste’.
Then: “More doctors smoke Camel cigarettes!”
Now: “More doctors take Pfizer gene therapy!”
The “science” is settled on it!
“Allens cocaine tablets” must still be on the shelves in Kiev. Just look at their cokehead president.
He could be their prime spokesman.
“I wouldn’t make a single foolhardy decision on the battlefield without taking a dozen Allens tablets first. All washed down with a few billion gallons of American whiskey of course!”

I just finished watching the movie you mentioned last night. It makes the later Chuck Norris flick Delta Force look like Lawrence of Arabia by comparison. Speaking of which:
One thing I liked about DF was its opening scene. Great shots of C-130s…..
Sorry, not in the mood to verbally wash your balls again tonight. Besides, my handlers in Beijing are starting to yank my chain on Putin. Go find another sycophant suffering from Gell-Mann.
Huh?
B note the name of the poster, it wasn’t I, it is the dingleberry obsessed with me.
I noticed that after I posted. Still, the comment was rather bewildering.
Getting back to Delta Force, the opening scene was based on the failure at Desert One during Operation Eagle Claw, the ill-fated attempt to rescue hostages held in Iran in 1980. The main part of the plot was inspired by an airline hijacking in the Middle East in 1985, one which went on for several days and involved a number of different locations.
It was a Cannon Films movie, the same group that made a number of other Norris flicks. Typically, they were action films, but were more B-grade. Delta Force was no exception.
It was also Lee Marvin’s last movie.
Yes, I also think the Achille Lauro hijacking added several themes to the plot. The main bad guy in DF was largely modelled by Abbas.
As for Lee Marvin, he was probably my favorite actor of his generation, some said that he gave his his Oscar to his horse. Also his role in DF was originally offered to Charles Bronson, who declined.
According to IMDB, Dana Delaney (Nurse McMurphy from the TV series China Beach) is in the cast. That would have been about 2 years before CB went on the air.
You might be right about the Achille Lauro incident inspiring parts of the plot. By the way, it was made into an opera, The Death of Klinghoffer, composed by John Adams.
Earlier, I mentioned the C-130 in the opening scene of the film.
For years, the old CFB Namao, just north of Edmonton, hosted an airshow in May. There was often some pretty neat planes on display, including, one year, an F-117 Nighthawk, the famous stealth fighter-bomber.
During what I remember was the last one held there before the base was closed, I had a chance to look inside a Herc. There was a fair bit of elbow room in the main part, but I thought the cockpit was rather cramped.

I got DF on DVD, it was super fun if not very ambitious plot wise. Speaking of Chuck Norris, he was the protagonist in the ultimate cartoonish 80s cheese: Invasion USA. https://odysee.com/@Commando:7/HLISGwdnMe88invasionusa:c
I don’t think I ever saw that one before and I just added that one to my “must see” list.
Oh, you’re in for a treat, this definitely falls into “so bad it is glorious” category. None tried harder to make a serious film, that turned to be a caricature of what it was supposed to be, than the cast and the crew of this thing.
I think those adds are fine.
Also, the Ford Pinto was perfectly safe.
Yep – the Pinto was no more subject to gas tank fires than any other compact.
The Corvair was no more subject to rollovers than any other car. Tom McCahill of Mechanix Illustrated did everything including skidding it into a curb and couldn’t flip it. Ralph Nader didn’t have a clue and he also didn’t have a drivers license.
The community of Hinckley in Ellen Brockovich had a lower rate of cancer than the average in the region.
I’m sure I could come up with a hundred more.
Yes folks, as long as there has been television they have lied to us to push an agenda.
“It should be noted that at least two members of NSC-131 have reportedly been exposed for soliciting sex from minors and in one case having possession of child pornography.”
So the Neo-Nazis have been arrested for child pornography and the Drag Queens have not.
It was observed on a recent episode of The Duran that the anniversary of the Wołyń massacres receive little coverage in Western media and so few Westerners are aware of the history of the region.
#JamesTopp addresses why multiple venues that agreed to host our Meet and Greets cancelled.
The Anti-Hate Network (fed gov-funded) has encouraged members and others to pressure venues to cancel our events, most likely by accusing #CanadaMarches of spreading hate.
The Anti- Hate network really seems to be anti democracy. Foolish of people to allow themselves to be manipulated by this deceptive group with an obvious political agenda.
Bernie Farber of the Anti-Hate Network is one bad piece of work.
You write work, but I read shit.
Bernie Farber is the sort of Jew who convinces otherwise peaceful people that anti-semitism isn’t so bad after all.
During World War 2 a Polish regiment adopted a Syrian Brown Bear that carried artillery to the front line, eventually attaining the rank of Sargent (they enlisted the bear so it could board the war ships as an enlisted man).
“Wojtek was also known for his love of the ladies. On one occasion – while stationed in an Allied forces camp in Iraq alongside women soldiers – Wojtek wandered off from the rest of the soldiers. When they found him, he had pulled all of the women’s underwear from the clothes line.”
Little rascal eventually ended up in a zoo in Edinburgh, often visited by his army mates. It was said he would light up when hearing Polish spoken by the visitors. Wojtek grew to 6′ tall, weighed 500 lbs and lived until he was 21. Not bad for an adopted bear in wartime.
I was in a small town country grocery the other day and met my first Ukrainian refugee. A good looking young gal maybe in her mid 20’s.
She was running the till. Her English was a work in progress but she didn’t hesitate trying. Good for her.
Nice to have refugee’s who are assimilating and working.

The old ads are a little cringe but so are the new ones.. Define bad habits and bad attitudes and tell me your delivering your zeitgeist clean.. Of course your not.. Your stereotypes are just as bad as they were in the past..
Worse in fact because they are delivered with malice..
Do you really think? the 1950s housewife was a one dimensional slave?.. Or some TV dinner commercial gave her a second thought..
The ads in the past were as dumb as they are today.. Glorified nonsense to make a splash and get a sale.. Nine times out of ten the product itself was far more disappointing than the commercial itself.. How’s that for selling the politics that didn’t exist..

My favorite “balanced” sentence.
“It should be noted that at least two members of NSC-131 have reportedly been exposed for soliciting sex from minors and in one case having possession of child pornography.”
So the Neo-Nazis have been arrested for child pornography and the Drag Queens have not.
It was observed on a recent episode of The Duran that the anniversary of the Wołyń massacres receive little coverage in Western media and so few Westerners are aware of the history of the region.
