60 of 168 · most liked firstI'd wager the most common responses to "Name a movie about the GWOT" would be 'American Sniper', 'Lone Survivor', and 'Zero Dark Thirty'. This will not be useful to the American memory of these wars, not to plans and policy for the next low intensity conflict in which we find ourselves.

unlabelledView post →End complaints. Soundtrack is tense. Spirals are dismal. Massive props on tech details. Kathryn Bigelow does for nuclear tension what she did with Zero Dark Thirty and the hunt for UBL. 4.5/5 as a film 3/5 on premise and 4/5 on believability on disposition of forces.
unlabelledView post →this is of course because for a significant number of future civil servants the torture sequence in MGS3 and the enhanced interrogation scene in the movie Zero Dark Thirty proved to be highly formative sexual experiences.
unlabelledView post →question is, maddest you've ever been leaving a movie I wish I had a fun answer to this, but I don't: Zero Dark Thirty Was a grad student night out. someone turned to me and asked me what I thought and I screamed incomprehensible (but true) gibberish about it being jingoistic torture porn
unlabelledView post →This exchange makes Zero Dark Thirty a much funnier movie
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 →finally got my hands on the IMAX release of Project Hail Mary! easily my favorite film of 2026 so far. Pemberton's score HAS to get an Oscar nod next year man, it's so good and the cinematography..absolutely stunning. I expect nothing less from the guy who did Zero Dark Thirty and both Dune films

unlabelledView post →The person you replied to said "subsidized", which implies what you just explained. The US military provides support to movies and TVs. However, it would be naive to think that the military still doesn't try to influence the production. It's been a long time since I have listened to it but there was a podcast mentioning "Zero Dark Thirty" having influence from the CIA; and the movie is about justifying torture to get results for "the greater good". This is in spite of the report commissioned…
unlabelledView post →Not just games, a while it was the leading arthouse film label. Some of the movies she made are wonderful. Her, Zero Dark Thirty, Phantom Thread. Many more. Basically, dad let Megan try to win Oscars and David try to run Hollywood. The former didn't work financially. We'll see about the latter.
unlabelledView post →So Pete Hegseth got his cosplay fantasy of reenacting "Top Gun Maverick" with the Iran nuclear raid, and now he's got his "Zero Dark Thirty" Bin Laden fantasy with Maduro and Venezuela. I think we need to think about what Hollywood military movie he's going to pick next.
unlabelledView post →If the question is “Has Hollywood ever made a great 9/11 movie that directly depicts the attack?” then fine the answer is no. But when 25th Hour, Munich, and Zero Dark Thirty exist, this column is ludicrous

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 do not have a problem with a female lead in a show. One thing that may be overlooked her is when they make a movie with a female lead and make a bad movie. My wife watches a lot of spy, military action type movies. A lot of the time, the stories are poorly written and cheesy when they put a female lead in the show. One example of this was a movie where the girls dad who died was CIA. His daughter somehow ends up involved in some CIA thing and is able to survive the whole thing even though…

Defined as a standing passenger in a subway, streetcar, bus, or train who clings for support to one of the short straps or similar devices placed along the aisle I guess that might explain part of that... but I'm seeing consisntent uses from merriam webster's recent examples on the web for the word.

unlabelledView post →Fun fact: they were going to show this movie to torture out info in ZERO DARK THIRTY, but it was considered too extreme to show. But stuffing people in boxes wasn’t as bad. #bmoviemaniacs
unlabelledView post →Today's Film Article: An interview with Kathryn Bigelow in this month's S&S mag (Dec' 25, Vol 35, # 10) - discussing her past films (The Loveless, Near Dark, Blue Steel, Point Break, Strange Days, K-19, The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Detroit, her latest, A House of Dynamite & more...) 1/2
unlabelledView post →Much to like in both, although personally pale in comparison to, IMPO, THE GWOT film of the last 25 years, Sicario, perhaps what Zero Dark Thirty could have been if it wasn't CIA directed slop
unlabelledView post →In that Zero Dark Thirty movie, where they tortured the guy with heavy metal music, they should've instead played RFK Jr. talking, & the tortureree would've instantly said where Bin Laden was.
unlabelledView post →I remember this same argument around Zero Dark Thirty which I found at the time to be almost like a horror movie about the US military but then it turned out to have gotten some stuff wrong and erred towards the official govt story on certain things. I'm psyched to see this regardless
unlabelledView post →Man, the CIA & Pentagon did that years ago. Half of the budget of Top Gun 2 was borne by taxpayers via free planes, free soldiers, free aircraft carriers, etc. Every single Marvel movie has done the same thing. CIA fully underwrote “Zero Dark Thirty” to make itself look good and justify torture.
unlabelledView post →Changed my mind about authoritarianism. I’ve been appointed “film czar” and I’m already drunk with unlimited power. I’m threatening to blockade Hollywood, Escape from LA style, unless Kathryn Bigelow makes a direct-to-streaming Zero Dark Thirty parody called “Schrute, Then Cry” starring Rainn Wilson
unlabelledView post →This is a great thought experiment! I think postmodern pastiche would be both necessary and hard to frame appropriately - Rambo II, Bloodsport, Starship Troopers, Friday Night Lights (film not show), Zero Dark Thirty, Sicario would all be interesting to include and difficult to discuss effectively
unlabelledView post →Agree completely. And the fact should be obvious if you think about it for two seconds. I remember almost walking out of that movie Zero Dark Thirty. A major blockbuster based on the premise that torture works. One example among many. Apparently there are a ton of people who want this myth to be true.
unlabelledView post →Your friendly reminder that James Gandolfini played Leon Panetta in Zero Dark Thirty, a great film.
unlabelledView post →Lots of negativity in this thread, but that seems to be par for the course for any fandom. Personally I'm cautiously optimistic. Skydance produced/co-produced (often partnering with Paramount) on a number of franchise movies, including Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Jack Reacher, Top Gun, GI Joe, Terminator, The Old Guard and Spy Kids. Some of their productions have been well-received (eg Mission Impossible, Top Gun Maverick) and others less so (Terminator Genysis and Dark Fate, although…
unlabelledView post →Notably, this is Greta Gerwig’s second time getting a best picture nomination for a movie for which she was not nominated for best director (Little Women). Other notable snubs: Selma, Zero Dark Thirty.
unlabelledView post →It's also worth noting that many of the "indie" production companies are backed by billionaire money. For example, Annapurna (movies: Her, Zero Dark Thirty, American Hustle, games: Journey, Stray, Kentucky Route Zero, Outer Wilds) was founded by Megan Ellison, the daughter of Larry Ellison of Oracle software, worth about $150 billion. Indian Paintbrush, the production company that has financed all of Wes Anderson's movies since 2007, is run by Steven Rales, CEO of Danaher, worth $7.3 billion.…

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 must suck being a conservative and being unable to enjoy any story that doesn’t paint the oppressors as heroic strong white men making the hard but right decisions. I mean, what do you even have? Can’t even enjoy Zero Dark Thirty because the president is black in that movie.
unlabelledView post →The internet made him his darling and then turned on him pretty quickly, a similar thing to what most female stars face, such as Jennifer Lawrence hugely had to deal with in the 2010s. Not that I'm fond of the guy, but this his internet attitude stinks and I think has coloured his image since. However: He's had a really strange rise to fame. He was in Parks and Rec as the lovable goofball type, then the US army literally put him in Zero Dark Thirty (a film with unbelievable rewriting and…
unlabelledView post →Whether or not Zero Dark Thirty is right wing hinges substantially on whether you think the torture scene that launches the movie is being portrayed as necessary or as gratuitous and a terrible dead end
unlabelledView post →this isn't like, a huge Discourse Position it's just that like, ok, I used to teach an upper level undergraduate class that I think was called Film and Gender or something like that I remember one year, I showed Zero Dark Thirty, Scott Pilgrim, and Moonlight, all with trigger warnings obvs >

unlabelledView post →The wonderful @diplomatofnight.com mentioned Homeland and I had a fugue vision of every terrible post-9/11 movie and TV show about the Middle East. 24, Rendition, The Kingdom, Zero Dark Thirty - they all blend together like a CNN-inspired AI nightmare.
unlabelledView post →Zero Dark Thirty. Hated that movie with the fire of a thousand burning suns.
unlabelledView post →This guy from 'Zero Dark Thirty' is probably still locked up somewhere, so torturing him with the Melania movie, unlike with waterboarding, loud music, or locked up in a tiny box, might finally get him to talk.
unlabelledView post →I don't think I ever registered him until Zero Dark Thirty, and he bored me even then. No hate on Bigelow--she directed a solid movie--but ye gods have I always found him boring to watch. I should go through his IMDB and see what sparked his appeal.
