unlabelledView post →What are examples of anachronisms you've seen from movies depicting historical settings?. I remember watching The Hurt Locker (starring Jeremy Renner), the movie is meant to depict the Iraq War in 2004 but for some reason there's a scene where an iPod Touch (releases in 2007), XBOX 360 (releases in 2005) and Gears of War (releases in 2006) present in the barracks even though these did not exist yet. Another anachronism from this movie is when a American soldier spots an Iraqi recording him…

unlabelledView post →Yeah, I saw The Hurt Locker. It’s a good film, well directed and acted. I don’t know why someone would want to do that as a job, but people have all kinds of motivations. 1/4

unlabelledView post →These movies are not exactly subtle about which side is the "good guys" and which side is the "bad guys". Who do you side with in a much more ambiguous movie like *Apocalyspe Now* or *Sicario*? Or, if you're like most movie watchers, you watched *Zero Dark Thirty* and sided with the American commandos. You watched *The Hurt Locker* and sided with the American bomb disposal experts. You watched *Argo* and sided with the CIA. I'd guess there are a lot more pro-American movies where the…

unlabelledView post →There are a lot of things to worry about in the world today. The acclaimed director Kathryn Bigelow (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Hurt Locker”) has made a new film — “House of Dynamite” — warning of a danger that most of us would sooner forget. wapo.st/4pMJuDL
unlabelledView post →Watching the Hurt Locker and developing a theory that the reason why there’s so few movies about the Iraq war is that it’s hard to make a compelling movie about being part of an occupying army of an evil empire
unlabelledView post →At least Munich tries to grapple with the questions. ZDT is the pinnacle of pretending to be deep. The helicopter raid is wild film making, but you have to slog through 90+ minutes of Girl Bosses Can Do War on Terror Too first. If you want a more honest post 9/11 Bigelow film, it’s The Hurt Locker.

unlabelledView post →I wish I would have asked when I interviewed her for THE HURT LOCKER, but I have to think Kathryn Bigelow was heavily influenced by this film for the you-know-what scene in STRANGE DAYS. #MutantFam #TheLastDriveIn #SavageSummer #ISpitOnYourGrave - SMF

unlabelledView post →Five days left until annual leave. Feel like I’m in that film The Hurt Locker but it’s just me receiving emails saying “Quick favour…”
unlabelledView post →The director of The Hurt Locker at one point was spending half of what she made from the movie on takedown costs. Yes, she blew a huge amount of money on the off chance that someone watching it without permission would pay if she made that hard enough. 😆
unlabelledView post →i have a lot of holes in my film history. ive never seen -Pretty Woman -Top Gun -Avatar (2009) -The Hurt Locker -Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (i saw Super 8 tho! thats basically the same thing, right?)
unlabelledView post →6. The Hurt Locker Do you hate the Iraq War veteran in your life? Tell him you enjoyed the Oscar-award winning film The Hurt Locker. Watch the subtle emotions in their face as they remember.
unlabelledView post →There are no villains. Everyone is acting out their assigned roles, adhering to established procedures. As she did in her hit film, The Hurt Locker, Bigelow grounds this extraordinary situation in the mundane drama of relationships, the humdrum of a White House job and the grind of military duty.
unlabelledView post →It's eight years since Kathryn Bigelow's last film & she hasn't missed a beat. A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is a crackling thriller, precision-tooled, viscerally immersive, very much of a piece with THE HURT LOCKER and ZERO DARK THIRTY. Great stuff. #Venezia2025 www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

unlabelledView post →I’m sure it says something that the only two war films are American Sniper, which was a bad movie and bullshit; and The Hurt Locker, which was a good movie, but completely unrealistic.
unlabelledView post →It’s like The Hurt Locker II, a hypothetical film where Sgt. James is promoted to Secretary of Defense and finally finds a crowd that accepts and understands him
unlabelledView post →even if you're like "man I hate all soldiers and especially ones who did war crimes" or something like that, I still don't get how you see a movie like THE HURT LOCKER which is about how at the very least US soldiers as portrayed as terrifying, and go "this is a straight up endorsement"

unlabelledView post →Didn't Glenn Greenwald give Kathryn Bigelow s#@t by claiming that THE HURT LOCKER was pro-Iraq and how dare a woman direct a film like that?
unlabelledView post →Reminds me of the opening scenes in the movie The Hurt Locker "Think he was a terrorist?" "He is now." They screamed about "radical left" when that's barely a thing in thing in the US, and now they're pushing people in that direction.

unlabelledView post →In the Hurt Locker a film set in 2004 a character can be seen playing Gears of War. A video game not released until 2006. Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder!
unlabelledView post →wait, okay so again, just saw The Hurt Locker for the first time and... did Joss Whedon basically try to imply that Hawkeye actually was this guy, from this movie, in the Avengers movies he directed? cuz it kind of feels like that's what he did
unlabelledView post →The Hurt Locker is a shite film and the academy is made up of absolute troglodytes for giving it one of their awards.
unlabelledView post →The best vampire movie you've never seen, criminally underappreciated, they gave Bigelow the Oscar for the Hurt Locker but she deserved it for this. Hands down Bill Paxton's best performance
unlabelledView post →Trapped Between Thrill and Shame: The Soldiers Addicted to War. >War is not always hell. One of its sharpest paradoxes is its allure, the way it traps men in its siren song, a chorus of myth-making qualities it often does possess. History teems with variations on this leitmotif: The ancient Greeks adopted the Homeric concept of aristeia, or martial excellence, from The Iliad, going as far as to order much of their culture around it. Centuries later, Confederate soldiers wrote of charging Union…
unlabelledView post →So I just re-watched "The Hurt Locker" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0887... I think I get it a little better. But I still don't get it. It's boring and overrated. Looks good tho. 5/10. #Movie #Review #TheHurtLocker
unlabelledView post →Before Jeremy Renner got his big break with The Hurt Locker, Marvel & becoming a 2 time Oscar nominated actor, I referred to him as the bad guy from the S.W.A.T movie when I first saw this. #28WeeksLater really is a worthy & good sequel. A morbid, but entertaining & frightening follow up. #filmsky
unlabelledView post →I've never seen the movie the Hurt Locker but I think about "When Love Explodes (Love Theme from Hurt Locker the Musical)" like once a week. It goes SO HARD for being a song from a musical that does not exist. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT6v...
unlabelledView post →ok after seeing The Hurt Locker for the first time i now realize that the casting of Anthony Mackie as Captain America and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye is like, entirely referential to this movie like didn’t they literally quote the “you think i got what it takes to put on the suit”
unlabelledView post →Speaking of 9/11 and the war on terror, it’s crazy how The Hurt Locker was this critical smash hit, it won Best Picture and turned Jeremy Renner into a big name actor. And, it kinda doesn’t matter? Like it’s fine as a movie, but it feels totally like a time capsule, in a bad way.
unlabelledView post →Just an outstanding film. Lost count how many times I've watched it in the last 15 years or so... The Hurt Locker
unlabelledView post →Tonight's late movie is The Hurt Locker (2008) 🍿
unlabelledView post →Good film. Does suffer from repetitive moments as it joins each segment together. But the authenticity Bigalow presents makes this worth the watch, complimenting her previous war films in Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker. And occasionally, it was tense. #AHouseofDynamite

unlabelledView post →It's funny how my off-duty life while I was still a pararescueman was so "PJ coded".... My favorite game was Halo ODST My favorite movie and show were The Hurt Locker and Generation Kill My favorite go-to drinks were (still are) damn near frozen shot of Jagermeister and a simple whiskey sour.
unlabelledView post →In 2009/10, Avatar lost Best Picture and The Hurt Locker won. I’ll die on the hill that The Hurt Locker is a better movie, but that doesn’t mean it’s as culturally relevant. With that being said, the Academy wanted a movie that was anti war to represent them in the Obama Era.

A presentation about how the same movie studio that made The Hurt Locker made the Twilight movies purely as a way to bail them out of financial ruin. I was most proud of this one tbh.

unlabelledView post →2. The Hurt Locker- Bigelow creates the ultimate film about modern war. Equal parts impersonal and deeply human, each set piece is perfectly tuned for maximum heart pounding, breathtaking action and tension. A 5-star masterpiece that just keeps improving year to year.
