Just curious as I have both read the book and saw the movie.

How did you like the movie?

Someone ask Qz / Pang to remove my 10 year ban!

I was kind of annoyed at some of the differences... the antagonist sniper(I think they mentioned him once or twice in the book for about a paragraph and all of a sudden he's a main character in the movie), making Kyle's brother look like a huge poosey, completely changing the timeline of Biggles' death, etc. Basically Hollywood being Hollywood. I enjoyed the movie but the book was much better.

Trife, I don't know what your problem is, but I'm sure it's hard to pronounce.

I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!

i know what your problem is Cerberus, lack of reading comprehension and a sense of humor. Probably a little stupidity thrown in there as well.
