    There is no double standard. They were both roundly crucified for doing it.

    Back draft was a good move but really not authentic. Fire engulfed buildings are pitch black or very, very, very hard to see in. Every firefighter move I've seen you can see things like its day light. The 2nd one I have a problem with is that fire dosn't move along the floor unless there is some fuel on the floor. Fire goes up the walls and across the ceiling.

    I don't know, and I don't care. I do remember, though, that they were crucified by the press for this stunt. So, again, no double standard exists except in your imagination.

    They could make a special movie under the auspices of Chinese political officers just for their consumption. Kung fu guys with swords could jump hundreds of feet high on the moon.

    They rewrote nothing. They chose to focus on parts of his life not generally known to the public. This movie doesn't take away from what we already knew, which was that he erected a U.S. flag on the surface of an alien world.

    You guys just like being butthurt at every imagined slight of your jingoism.

    So, a Canadian actor and French director making a movie about an important time in American history, yet they leave out key parts that make it American. Got it.

    As has been already pointed out itt, the movie is "First MAN", not "First AMERICAN".

    Horseshit. I have been voting since you were a thought in a teens glistening eye.

    Drop the horseshit term fully. I damned sure won't help put in Democrats. Voting for Perot ensured Clinton won.

    Well, you accepted him grabbing ******* on a whim, or his claim he could shoot someone dead on 5th Avenue.

    Face it, you don't have the high ground here.

    What reactionary nonsense, as well as ignorant.
    As usual, the jingoists missed the boat.

    I'll concede to your expertise on the matter.

    Great movie, but it's still a movie. My wife hates it whenever I yell "bullshit!" at a movie showing a Hollywood AKA unrealistic scene about flying or the military.

    Thanks for admitting you only vote for them because you dislike the Democrats even more. AKA voting for the lesser of two evils.

    True, but here's the bottom line: When they do that crap, they lose money. The movie is poorly rated and the shitstorm they just caused will only hurt them.

    Again, all they had to do was show a glimpse of Armstrong planting the flag and then pan to the plaque on the leg of the LEM. Instead, they set themselves up for a shitstorm. To be clear, as the link below attests, the flag is shown several times in the movie, but in the background. There is no scene showing Armstrong planting it on the Moon.

    'not an American achievement, a human achievement'

    my ass.

    leftists are loathe to attribute anything good or cool to Americans....who were involved in, and won (see: American Flag on moon), a very well publicized 'space race' against their comrades in the USSR.
