Buzz Aldrin Slams ‘First Man’ Movie for Omitting US Flag

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Sorry, you are incorrect! They were still military officers.

Thomas Stafford was the first general to fly in space when he was selected to Brigadier General.

BTW, you forgot John Glenn was Marine, he was neither Navy nor Air Force.. He was also a LtCol when he flew and a Colonel when he retired in 1964.

Last time I checked the Marines were a branch of the Navy, although a separate Corps. Do you remember what was painted on his F-86 in Korea?

I believe they had to enter the reserves when they were hired by NASA, but have to research that. They were all NASA employees for certain.

Yeah, tell a Marine that he is Navy! I dare you!

One of the major bones of contention when NASA started using civilians is that their pay was significantly higher than the military officers. It caused a great deal of friction for one group to be paid more for risking their necks.

"Military astronauts are detailed to the Johnson Space Center and remain on active duty for pay, benefits, leave, and similar military matters."

Did anybody ask the producers what the hell they were doing? Why is everything in freaking Hollywood a big mystery? Did they do it on purpose? If so why? Was it cut from the movie inadvertently or on purpose? Why won't somebody in the media pin these people down like they pin down politicians? Is it about money?

Since the movie doesn't come out until October, why not fix it?

Amazingly….a movie gets made about every 9 months or so featuring someone named “captain America”. Is anyone forcing them to make the movies? No. Was anyone sitting around thinking “Man, why don’t they make movies about Captain America?” before they made them? No.

It’s a convenient canard that there is some “anti american” bias in hollywood. What does exist is what would be perceived as a liberal bias. Pretty much because movies about conservative values would be dull and boring.

You know they portray Captain America as a left wing tard, don't you?

Yeah. A left wing tard that claims he is Libertarian.

To appeal to foreign markets. Which is where they have to go to make up revenue since half the country hates them and won't pay for their crap.

So foreign nations won’t go see an historical movie because it has the US flag in it?

F^k em.

Foreign nations probably aren't as simplistic as Hollywood thinks they are...but that's what an article I was reading said. It was to make it more appealing to places like China etc..

If true there’s this magical art called clipping the shot from the film. A process used well over a hundred years now.

So they lied why they omitted it.

I’m not sure about why (or even if) it was not in the final cut. Any number of reasons could present itself. Given it is a history piece there is a chance it was running long and stuff was cut. IMDB reports that it is 2:18…long for a hollywood movie these days. Perhaps they would not want to spend the money to create a new set. Maybe it was a political decision. Maybe it was just never thought of given it seems to be a biopic on Armstrong; not a documentary about the mission.

Regardless of the reason, do you think the OP and other idiots who support the blob would take any answer other than widespread concerted effort to not show the flag? I haven’t read every message in the thread but I would not be surprised if someone accused Soros of picking up the phone and giving the order himself!!!!

Sorry to hear that there are people who forget if there isn't a flag in almost each scene.

Ignorant fucking post, even for you.

Really? Length of the film? They filmed the scene. Jesus.

A movie? This is about a movie?

LOL...big, fucking deal.

Some movie did not post a picture of an American flag. Who gives a shit? Just don't watch the movie.

Leave it to FOX to try and make a mountain out of nothing.

Most FoxNews viewers are OLD. And most older Americans (especially cons) look at the flag as some God-given thing.

It ain't. It's a piece of cloth and is worth absolutely nothing. It's just an inanimate object.


When I was in the reserves - I barely cared about the flag then. And I care even less about it now.

It is NOTHING but an inanimate object.


All the fucking misery in the world...and all you people (and the once, great astronaut, Buzz Aldrin) can think to do is get worked up about a flag missing from a movie? No wonder the worked is so messed up.

Really? Length of the film? They filmed the scene. Jesus.

The length of top grossing films is usually under 2 hours (110 mins if i recall). At 1:38 plus another 30 mins of features and trailers before…thats a long time for a movie. Additionally, the basic cable appetite is for less than 2 hours so it can be filled with commercials to stretch it to 2 hours without cutting out too much.

That they filmed the scene…probably is an indicator that there wasn’t some sort of conspiracy to cut it. Editorial decision.

Jesus likely wasn’t involved.

I like the captain America character, in the avengers Civil War.
He basically tells the United Nations/deep state/globalists/socialists/progressives to fuck off

You know they portray Captain America as a left wing tard, don't you?

The two times I have had to sit through that Avenger Crap; they seemed to portray him as someone who is fighting some other worldly creature.

But since you brought it up; over 1/2 of the voting public was left wing (HRC won by 3 million votes). Seems like a smart marketing move to me. Furthermore, if you can use statistical analysis as the basis, that would mean that America in general is more left than right which would speak to portrayal as an “american” more than one who is “left” or “right”.

As for the “tard” part…whatever.

Hated the movies…Jeremy Renner’s character was pretty cool in them though.

Na, not really
Donald J. Trump Republican 62,980,160
Hillary R. Clinton Democratic 65,845,063
Gary Johnson Libertarian 4,488,931
Jill Stein Green 1,457,050

More Americans voted for the conservative/libertarian side. So shut the fuck up you pussy whipped bitch

Who gives a shit how long it was? My point is the scene was filmed without the flag. The flag wouldn’t have made it longer. Do you understand now? I’m sure Jesus wasnt involved. Rarely are mythical characters involved.

I was told they were put on reserve status. I was told, or heard wrong. Thanks.
