Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Except don’t the good guys lose in red dawn? My book has the USA attack china, lose badly, then get invaded and fracture into warring states. I actually wrote the first draft before the iran war started so it’s kind of outdated now 😳.
I don't remember what happens in the shitty new one (all I really remember is the Subway product placement), in the old one all the ”heroic” high school kids die by the end and it's at least a little ambiguous.
Oh lol I only saw the old one and got bored when the kids started winning. It was pretty good until that point though.
Yeah same. I watch a lot of old Cold War crap just 'til us commies start losing, though, most of it's good til then and crap the rest of the way to the end.
